Inadvertently makes a case here for why we need to keep the humanities in school

The ruling deems the government's termination of grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities "unlawful" and allows a lawsuit brought by humanities groups to move forward.

This is horrible. Attacks on the humanities are another way to destroy our future. Now is when we need the humanities the most.
Arabic Studies, Holocaust Studies, Russian, Eastern European & Eurasian Studies, Religion, & more—decimating the humanities destroys our ability to understand the world, act in it, and envision a future. Blue states are complicit in this destruction of scholarship and teaching

Are the humanities the only disciplines whose classes begin with modules speaking to the importance of studying the humanities? "Why study the humanities?" and "Why the humanities are important" must be cliches.

STEM Bros Take a Humanities Course Challenge
This is what I think of as a specific kind of ignorance that heavily affects young white guys who work in tech. It says “i don’t know about this, so I assume no one else does either.” It’s new to them, so it must be new to everybody!

Predictably, the "research" section of the Cornell report reads quite badly from a humanities standpoint, completely insensitive to the particular needs of humanities disciplines. But maybe that's not surprising since the report endorses the idea that humanities research is ideologically corrupt.

Eliminate ChatGPT from the humanities and humanities education
New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays.
Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn.

It's tragically appropriate that we spent a whole generation telling students that the humanities were moribund, and they should all study STEM, only for the greatest innovations in STEM to prove why the humanities were so essential all along.

we call this the value of the humanities
there is a direct link between learning how to spot 'this story about a pagan ritual has been copied from an author who copied it from an author who copied it from an author who copied it from a folklorist who made it up in the 1920s' and my ability to tell when UN or McKinsey reports are bullshit
