In fact, a decent argument can be made that certain majors have a role in indoctrination that make society worse off because of increased fractionation, division, and tribalism.

> In fact, a decent argument can be made that certain majors have a role in indoctrination that make society worse off because of increased fractionation, division, and tribalism. Or maybe because minorities actually (thanks to social media and progressive whites) have a meaningful voice now? Of course white men are frightened by the prospects of them no longer being the sole rulers. > Your assertion that society will lose if gender studies majors for instance decrease in output is debatable. It's not just about "gender studies". How can you, for example, quantify the "productivity" of an archaeologist, a historian, or an artist? You can't.
