Isidore Mohri appreciate the attempt to defend the real value of formal training in the humanities, or of technical-humanities connections, but we need to abandon the idea that the value of humanities education is in making people ethical. think for a second about the sort of people who, historically, have gotten classical educations. whose ethics are we talking about here?
for current examples: alex karp majored in philosophy at a liberal arts school associated with a peace church and went on to get a phd in social theory before cofounding palantir. thiel also a philosophy major. palmer luckey (anduril) majored in journalism.
anyway speaking of humanities/technical connections composition #1 will be in philly may 24th https://types.pl/@isidoremohr/116285047906996805
