      Evil (Political) Scientist Retweeted FischerKing

      A very important point I've touched on before-- everyone who can select into STEM does, leaving the humanities as a safety net for the inept. It's all selection effects, which is why the best work in the humanities now comes from tech-dork hobbyismhttps://twitter.com/FischerKing64/status/1445776122675822607 …

      Snapshot of humanities. Someone like Heidegger/Wittgenstein was capable of high-level mathematics, but chose philosophy. Today a PhD in English might not even be capable of long division, much less linear algebra. Became dumping ground for overflow created by expansion of uni.

      Replying to @knrd_z

      It’s an odd phenomenon I’ve noticed where many of those with the proper curiosity for it are stem ( or adjacent), but then they spend a lot of time reinventing the wheel bc they haven’t read as much into it and spent time in circles with disdain for it

      This is absolutely true too-- almost all the STEM-guy humanities is reinventing something that was well-known in the 1910s. But I like the older writing so I think this ends up being preferable to much of the more informed nonsense the humanities/ social sciences are producing

      Replying to @knrd_z @Thermid66919264

      The problem is that there's no curation for the actually useful non-STEM knowledge - the current humanities people are hostile to the idea. If that means STEM people have to reinvent the wheel that's a flaw of humanities - not STEM people dabbling.

      Replying to @CovfefeAnon @Thermid66919264

      Yes, I was conflating humanities as a practice and humanities as a body of knowledge/ artifacts. Humanities as a practice is so corrupted that it's worth turning the dial back a century anyway

      This threads optimism reminds me of a lot of situations over the last few years that always sounded oh so plausible, but quickly ended in tears as this beast responds with absolute force to a threat.

      Stems are smart. Good at measuring everything except themselves. The response will go for the throat.

      Maybe so, maybe not. Humans aren't in danger from nature or competitor species so we've developed people who specialize in manipulating other people - those people often defeat people who aren't specialized in that skill as long as the conflict is limited to the social level.
