A liberal education doesn't require that we tolerate intolerence; it doesn't require that when someone expresses disgust and acts above something they don't understand that we just throw our hands up and say "well all opinions are equally valid". Postmodernism doesn't require that we consider all interpretations and opinions equally valid, just that we realize the value is in the interpretation itself. You're correct I come off as a little defensive, but this thread is full of obnoxious condescending engineers who think since they know some math and science they are better than everyone at everything, and that everything they don't understand is because it's not worth understanding. It is full of people attacking art because "it's useless, I didn't get it so it's trash and anyone who pretends to is a liar and I'll have fries with that English major scum LOL" And I'll attack that attitude with the ferocity it deserves; it's disgusting and a disservice to all of us. I'm a scientist as well so I'm of course sympathetic to those who aren't particularly interested in the humanities and I think that's just fine but in a toxic environment like this I'll go out of my way to defend them aggressively since far too often I see people just roll over.
