François Chollet on Twitter: "I'm surprised how many people here seem to equate "humanities" with wordy essays churned by a small number of US college students in the recent past. To me, art, literature, history, etc. seem pretty foundational to our world. To our humanity"

  I feel like people forget all the great movies, tv shows, books, YouTube shorts, comics, video games, sportscasts etc are all written/performed by people from the “humanities” We need humanities in society as much as we need science/engineering

  How many trained STEM people take "humanities" in university? Most higher education for Americans is debt driven, they do not have luxury of humanity

  A lot of credit is lost at the school-level, where humanities are graded like a math multiple choice : dramatically different beasts placed on the same level to be compared directly ...

  Welcome, you've just rubbed up against: US anti-intellectualism Richard Hofstadter & Neil Postman warned about in the 60s & 80s + a US media ecosystem that fetishizes tech elites as saviors + utilitarian dogma of STEM/STEAM + deep #rightshift inherent in SV cyberlibertarianism

  Surprising that it needs to be said - but good on you for saying it.

  Agree. Moreover humanities provide a rich context to reason within.

  The absence of science and engineering in that list is concerning @Unify2Cultures
