ChadamsI hope all the STEM people who thought maybe we could simply do without all that pesky humanities education now understand how ridiculous that notion always has been.
clewThe STEM people who thought that are mostly happy with how it’s going.
@clew ... yeh. The "hope" in that sentence is probably doing a bit too much work, isn't it? 😔
Plus also, the Heidegger problem. No knowledge of the humanities has been enough to make people good, not even in the millennia when there wasn’t any science or engineering.
@clew In my experience, humanities studies tend to make people more intensely who they were always going to be. If that makes sense. 😅
need a social scientist here to consider this as a testable proposition
secret third thing!
