Engineers: how many *required* humanities/social sciences courses did you have to take in undergrad? I had 3 (literature, combo psychology/sociology, and economics 101). I’m beginning to suspect anti-STEM activists don’t actually check this statistic before lecturing us

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.

Agree on both counts. As evidence for your second point, consider the Senate hearing for Zuck. The degree of ignorance among the Senators was BOTH embarrassing AND dangerous.
