I’m bewildered by the continuing prevalence of the idea that STEM people need humanities courses to be ethical, when so many of the worst decisions of the past year come from bureaucrats applying bad received ethical theories while the techbros (among others) screamed at them to stop.

Not to mention that many of the people this crowd hates the most are in fact immersed in the humanities. Zuck is literate in all three ancient languages of the Western canon and has that stupid haircut in imitation of Octavian. Thiel is a philosophy nerd who hosts thinkers to participate in his salon.
