"The moment we no longer have a free press, anything can happen.

What makes it possible for a totalitarian or any other dictatorship to rule is that people are not informed;

how can you have an opinion if you are not informed?”

That's because he's a simpleton that only cares about money, power and accolades. He cares nothing about the best things in life that make us human: general interest in other human beings, improving the lives of others, arts, humanities, history, nature, etc. Empty vessel of a human being.

There will never be lasting peace without the contribution of those who studied human nature and Humanities.
'Our University would do well to stop neglecting the threats to humanities education, and start publicly taking up the banner of the humanities.'

Could (and should) be said of so many universities, across the globe.
Harvard Can’t Afford to Neglect the Humanities | Opinion | The Harvard Crimson
Harvard exists to promote the highest intellectual pursuit in every discipline — it can’t leave the humanities behind.

Bourgeois consciousness paints human nature in many different colors but one that is blatantly ignored is humanities trans-historical ability to transform the world through our conscious collective labor. 4/ #Socialism #Theory #Philosophy

it is odd. going after "sillier-sounding" humanities degrees has long been been a game but English is probably the one people like! it's english! shakespeare and all that!

A bit like labour taking swipes at silly countryside/nature preservation stuff. that's all pretty english!

I admire your positivity but people’s nature prevents a more humanistic approach to resource allocation. To simply say socialism will fix humanities ills is a lie. Human nature and its greed & corruption have proven socialism can’t work. Reality focussed instead of idealism to fix problems.

How much is "I work with these folk and have to keep things cordial" and how much is just the tech field being filled with people who should've taken enough humanities courses to realize alienating their audience is a bad business move, regardless of not wanting to be beholden to them?

I don't know

They're not very bright philosophers either because they believe the humanities are beneath them. Theres merit to debates of the nature of consciousness and if an advanced bot would count but they beg the questions for answers they've already settled on. Would be laughed out in academia.

very glad that Horizon Europe is committed to increasing funding, but the project-focused, practical- and technical-oriented nature of EU funding irks me as someone interested in the humanities as a basic science (and not technoscience). it's super hard to "apply" history and do it well.

Humanities are those that should really matter to a community and society.
Understand human nature and you can shape a community. Shape a community and you can shape the world.
It sucks the way the humanities are being eroded & labeled unimportant. For every rant against a “new identity,” there is an ancient poem or painting or song or or or that tells us there is nothing new under the sun

there's four decades of gender studies across many disciplines (mainly humanities), researching one of the basic concepts that structure societies. it's "radical ideology" for those who pretend that their radical ideology of toxic masculinity and submissive inferior feminity is a law of nature.

SCHOLAR LED: it hadn’t occurred to Caroline Edwards (Open Library of Humanities & Open Journals Collective) that it could be seen as unprofessional. She sees it as legitimate, full editorial autonomy & independence. But from a publisher point of view, there is an amateurish nature to it. #OASPA2025
