When people say shit like this it's because they don't think the humanities actually are work They get why Feynman would have one voice with his colleagues and another voice for speeches in public

But when it comes to women's studies they go "Well all you're doing is giving speeches right? Isn't that the whole job? Just telling men they should be nicer to women? Why would you need big words for that?"

There are definitely some humanities scholars that lean on obfuscatory language to cover weak patches in their work or as a shortcut around difficult problems. But fuck me, Judith Butler is not one of them.

personally i find the use of differential equations hard to follow, anyone who tries to use them when talking about physics is just being obfuscatory for no reason like if they can't explain it in plain language is it even real, that's just common sense

Hawking notoriously fought bitterly with his publisher over the use of equations in A Brief History of Time Hawking saying it was impossible to *really* explain anything he was talking about without equations and the publisher saying every equation was a 50% loss in sales

well said. People don't value the humanities bc they don't understand how much work it takes. It trickles down in even smaller conversations; family and friends make fun of me for having a BA in φ. for what? the humanities are the groundwork for other fields to do their work.
