usually people consider mathematicians as scientists

Yikes!

... Wait, does this mean I can call a historian an artist? Then I'm game.

You can call them whatever you want, what are they going to do? They're historians!

In twenty years time they'll rip into me on r/askhistorians

Historians are scientists imo. Is that a reference I don't have?

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Usually (in my experience?) history is one of the 'humanities', which are more lumped with arts than sciences.

[–] oce@jlai.lu 1 points 10 months ago

Yes it usually is, but I think the methodologies for modern history research is very much scientific.
