Ugh, that's dystopian. There's bullshit on both sides of the university (stem and humanities). They're symbiotic and they need each other and the world desperately needs more people skilled in both.

Stephen Hawking doesn't become Stephen Hawking without an awareness and understanding of the humanities.

You are generalizing the criticism of "x-studies" to a criticism of the humanities as a whole, which I do not think is what was meant at all.

Not to mention people like Frege, Russel, Gödel, Wittgenstein, Chomsky, and so on and the impact they had on the foundation of mathematics, theory of language and theoretical CS.
