people forget how recent the switch from a humanities dominated education to a stem dominated education took place people forget that this is an ongoing experiment not some manifest destiny towards Reason - and I am far from convinced this is exclusively for the better in terms of producing a stable and good society whatever that might mean - we have yet to see what happens when you raise 2 or 3 subsequent generations primarily teaching them hard sciences and also those humanities that have successfully branded themselves as "science adjacent" (econ, political science, management theory etc...) I think people who "gleefully celebrate" this cannot imagine that there is some scenario in which we overdo this or that there is no way you could have a population that is "too rational" and I worry that the history of our next century will be what proves them wrong
