"The benefit of a liberal education is that it teaches you to despise the riches it prevents you from making." -- Greene
I love the humanities! But why can't a scientist read them on his own time? In the Middle East it would not be surprising for an intellectual to know and write poetry on the side.

Well BandofSorensons, I think you have articulated just the attitude that the Humanities is trying to combat-- the idea that we must all pursue what will make us the most money! It's interdisciplinary- a merging of History, Politcal science, Arts... etc. It's about HUMANS not $. We need more thinkers who can make connections in our society, not just narrowly focused or ignorant. Don't forget that the research and funding the Universities get is sometimes to be looked at with a acritical eye!

Humanities suck.

Why would a humanities professor care about undergraduate students majoring in the humanities? Because their non-productive jobs are dependent on people being dumb enough to major in the humanities. Other departments acquire funding because they are lucrative for a university and the research they do actually matters. Humanities departments, however, just church out horse shit called "scholarship" that even they don't want to have to read. Don't give your money to these people.
