Lol

@I Know a Fat Guy it’s one filled with togas and beer, oh my!

With fantasies of rape and other folly

That was the final straw that made me leave the Democratic Party

I don't blame you

Oh, Kavanaugh

Legitimately disgraceful

I like how it's fine that he's a rapist now that he's already on the bench

I like how Ford's horrific experience wasn't horrific enough for her to press charges even though her whole deal was "she was bringing it to light for the American people" or some shit

I think that 'at least we ruined kavanaugh's life' tweet should be something that no one is allowed to forget.

Yeah that was some sick shit

The Ford stuff is weird as hell. She didn't try and pursue any legal action because she accused him of the one thing that counts as sexual assault in Maryland but isn't a felony, and thus had a statute of limitations of one year.

I can't understand why she didn't accuse him of something worse.

It's not like she was ever going to face any consequences for lying.

Hell she got paid

~~Probably by the Dems too but also by~~ that GoFundMe or w/e

I still didn't hear anything about her giving that money back

@ArsSanctum that money is indelible in her bank account.

lol

First she needs to buy glasses that make her not look like a mad scientist

So I just recorded a no script video. No script, no prep, just a quick little rant about why I'm afraid of the congressional dems taking over

Nice, your last vid was cool

Thank you so much. That means a lot to me

These kind of articles pop up from time to time: https://hbr.org/2018/11/business-does-not-need-the-humanities-but-humans-do#comment-section
Those came also came up in the school paper when I was in university. It was fun because my school was divided into north campus (humanities and arts) and south campus (science, medicine and engineering). I suspect they just want to indoctrinate science. It's not a good argument that hard science don't take enough humanities (though I believe the humanities don't take enough science).
For starters, if taking humanities is the only way to be taught to be a good person good they are saying all non-humanities are immoral people (including people with only high school degrees). For me though I see no evidence taking humanities courses makes you a better person in any way. Nor do I see any evidence it prepares you to tackle ethical problems in technology (the more narrow focus in this article).
I would like to hear what you guys think about this, and if you have seen similar arguments made before? (I remember what sparked the article in our paper was they were lowering the math requirement to graduate for art and humanities majors.)

I think part of being a well rounded citizen is having knowledge and appreciation of one's culture and history. I don't think you need arts credits to be a "good person"

I suspect the classes they want you to take have a certain ideological perspective. The arts class I took was history of rock and roll. All they talked about was black people and gay people.

the cultural class I took was asian american studies, all they did was complain about white people.

@Beemann the well rounded citizen should be happening at the grade school. Not everyone goes to college. I grew up in Commiefornia. Literally half a year of civics and half a year of economics in all 13 years.

@grant I generally agree with the author’s premise: that the pursuit of technological advancement could be detrimental to humanity. However, I don’t agree that ‘humanities’ themself are explicitly necessary to address those concerns. I do agree that there tends to be a lean on social justice nonsense from the authors perspective.

@grant I had half a year in civics and economics in my high school too.

I find this ironic

The left keeps saying that white people have no culture whilst actively pushing the severance of that culture

Actually ironic isn’t the word

@Salacious Swanky Cat I think we agree. I see the problem, but making engineer and scientists take more humanities (lets be honest, social justice classes) isn't the answer.

@grant yeah. The same.

@Deleted User I know it's not what they mean when they talk about it, but I also don't think there is a white culture. The same way there isn't Asian culture. White people aren't one huge monolith. There are many cultures Anglo, Irish, Scottish, German, French, Danish etc. Just like there are Japanese, Chinese Korean, Indian, Malaysian, Pakistani, and Afghani culture.
@Deleted User I understand though that their intent is just to be racist.

Yes. It’s hilarious how they get upset if you over generalize a ‘minority’, but then completely generalize with white people.

@grant fair enough

I hardly believe they make that distinction though

@Deleted User I agree. You can tell by the context and attitude when they say it they mean it in a derogatory way.

Which is irritating, because when people think “high culture”, the first things that come to mind are Mozart, Beethoven, Rachmaninov, Shakespeare
