@lastpositivist Obv the humanities are not the only academic fields, and there probably *is* some self-sorting going on, but I think that general disregard for academia had some kind of effect on who decided to pursue higher ed
English
@lastpositivist For most of my life the prevailing attitude of adults - especially conservative ones - was "why would you study the Humanities? That's a useless degree." So it's surprising when they're all of a sudden mad that young adults took their advice and pursued other careers!

I've had bad dreams every night this week and this morning it occurred to me to take a COVID test because one of the symptoms I consistently have with the vaccines is AWFUL nightmares (very unusual for me).

make no mistake. the primary objective of these AI companies is not to benefit society, advance science or human flourishing (as they keep telling us) but to consolidate power where it already is concentrated and control, monitor and surveil each and every move we make
