Damon Horowitz is an extremely talented and smart guy who's proven himself in the startup world, but I don't think he's giving the best advice here. He mentions Steve Jobs at the end as a technologist who's clear evidence of the importance of a liberal arts education. Jobs does credit a lot of Apple's design to that calligraphy class he walked into in his early days (while he was a college drop-out)... but if there's anything to be gleaned from the best and brightest, and the most creative, in industry, it's that they're self-taught - their creativity isn't a product of the humanities in academia. Who was the last Philosophy PhD who went on to start the next great tech company? Or do anything particularly innovative?
