...a HUGE amount of what's wrong with the culture of tech is that we are surrounded and led by folks who haven't studied sociology, political science, even economics, having HUMONGOUS impact on what those fields teach. Most of those people have educations, nominally balanced by things like Common Core. Treating the study of each art, or of literature or of each branch of history as the work of a lifetime is as much a problem as treating them as a waste of time. We need a way to be educated without it having anything to do with making a living, so that we can bring critical thinking to bear however we make our living.
