    Those with your mindset of, “well, are they dedicating their life to increasinging GDP?” are winning to be sure, and it’s making a terrible, desperate, disaffected world few want to bring children into because they know how horrible it is, cold and greed worshipping, a hell of Neverending competition.

    Whoa whoa whoa, I’m not arguing that the world is better off if people avoid the social sciences… actually, I think if we as a society prioritized that more, we’d be better off overall. I’m just saying purely from the standpoint of if one looks at college as an investment in one’s own career/employ-ability then you are better off in a more rigorous and conventional field.

    I am not saying the humanities has no value.
