It seems by this statement that you consider productivity in a literal sense to be the measure of value from education. I don't see it that way at all. STEM has no purpose. We give it purpose, however. The scope of information is in our pockets, but I hesitate to call it knowledge. IMHO it is a mistake to think that the expertise and talent brought to bear to define the boundaries of one pursuit is any less than that of another. Humans excel in all areas and the appreciation of that excellence requires rigorous application and study.What productive thing have humanity majors produced again?
