> Avoid political/philosophical discussions with people from Liberal Arts. They are full of ego's.

This isn't exclusively true of the Spanish speaking world though. The more I see the people of my generation who have achieved prominence in the academic humanities, the more I've concluded the main qualification is ego, tribalism, being a controversialist and titanium self-confidence in your genius. Actual intellegence or intellectual rigour is a handicap.
