Welcome to c/WouldYouRather, where we present you with the toughest, most ridiculous choices you never knew you had to make! Would you rather have a third arm that's only useful for picking your nose, or be able to talk to animals but only if they're wearing hats? Yeah, it's that kind of vibe. Come for the absurdity, stay because you've clearly got nothing better to do with your life.

WYR: have mastery (and the ability to apply such mastery) over any-and-all scientific or mathematical concepts OR be able to create artistic masterpieces using any medium? (slrpnk.net)

Mastery over science and math because (1) I already have a creative background in music and (2) I could do way more innovative stuff in music with a background in science.

Actually this kinda parallels my rationale for going to engineering school.

OK but imagine using other artistic concepts for music.

I already do take inspiration from visual art and writing when I write music. IMO if this happened to me I'd stop reading math and engineering books to go spend time developing my craft in music and art. I think that the process of "developing my craft" is a lot more fun in music than math and science.
