      Arthur Chu Retweeted The Disordered Cosmos by Chanda Prescod-Weinstein

      When people say STEAM they're really transparently just saying "everything but the liberal arts", like for them the A means artists who make stuff they can sell This is also the ugly side of the way people use the word "Maker"https://twitter.com/IBJIYONGI/status/1259916685710176258 …

      The Disordered Cosmos by Chanda Prescod-WeinsteinVerified account @IBJIYONGI
      No exaggeration! I don’t think the answer is changing the acronym to STEAM. The answer is letting the arts and humanities breathe and dethroning STEM as a disciplinary oligarchy. https://twitter.com/SatansJacuzzi/status/1259849274956922882 …

      Makers can't exist without users, writers can't exist without readers, artists can't exist without any audience The pressures of profit drive us towards education as a way to just make kids better at making stuff and not teach them to be thoughtful about what they consume

      I still constantly reference DFW, an extremely famous graduate of a creative writing workshop and teacher of such workshops, saying we don't need more of those, we need better literature classes

      Everyone should learn how to read books before they even think about taking a class to write books It's not that that's a better way to become a writer It's that learning to be a reader is MORE IMPORTANT than being a writer

      It's not that big a deal if we don't have more writers Lots of successful, happy, decent people aren't writers That's fine It's not fine - for our country, for our culture, for us as a people - if they can't read

      "STEAM" as a movement isn't subtle at all about positioning itself as a contrast to "ivory tower" studies Always the emphasis on *skills*, on *product* What can you make, what can you sell, how can you get hired

          And, like, it ought to fucking terrify you People going to college with this plan to get a degree in working on political campaigns No, you should just be taking classes on history, and *learning about politics* for its own sake, before you decide you want to work on anything

          People wanting to major in "business" and thinking that's better than having a general understanding of "economics" as an ivory tower discipline "I don't want to know about how what I do affects the world, I just want to do it"

          Intentionally trying to become more powerful and yet more stupid in equal degrees Professionalization without knowing what it is your profession professes - without ever asking "Why" A society flooring the gas while covering up the windshield and taking its hands off the wheel
