There's a lot of non-scientific papers produced from the sciences, they're just heavily laced with jargon, complexity, or intentionally limited scope to make publication viable and hide the shortcuts behind them.
When I was young I believed things outside of the sciences and math were useless. As I've grown older, I realize the tremendous value of the arts, humanities, and other studies. They're just not as obviously functional or as easily quantifiable and much of this work is difficult. These studies help us think as humans and not machines. Yes, they can be gamed by disingenuous and often do get low rewards in society, but they're not inherently useless disciplines. The other studies provide much value to what makes life worth living, IMO.
Literature, art, the human state. I love science, don't get me wrong, but I also enjoy the rest.
