Collateral Q: who does more damage to the world: (1) STEM majors undereducated in the humanities & social sciences, or (2) HSS majors undereducated in STEM? My view is that the STEM-ignorant HSS majors are more embarrassing but the HSS-ignorant STEM majors are far more dangerous.

I agree in terms of the need to take more of those courses being overhyped, but in my experience the engineers I've encountered in school more often than not don't tend to take much of that coursework very seriously + basically check the boxes without taking any serious interest

I say this again and again: the most morally relevant movie of our time is “Bridge Over the River Kwai,” as Alec Guinness gasps, in horrified realization at the implication of his creation, “What have I done...?”
