The links you posted have absolutely nothing to do with the assertion that “Study of history, philosophy, psychology, civics, and the like helps us pass on qualities that aren't needed to make business widgets.”
We need a term for the practice responding to requests for evidence by posting academic papers which do not contain the evidence.
- mcguire 5y agoI thought the question was, "Where is the evidence that people who study these things acquire [qualities that aren't needed to make business widgets] they didn’t already have?"

- zepto 5y agoYour rewrite of the question misses out the “Do they?”, which links my question to the claim made by the poster I was replying to. That is the context of the question. The links you posted don’t answer that question. They have nothing to do with the study of those subjects, only the generic act of getting a degree. Indeed those papers show the converse of the OP’s claim - they show that you do not need to study those subjects to get those benefits - any degree will do.
