I don't know if that's possible. That might be a feature, not a bug. Can't have awesome knowledge bombs like this without humanities. That's good enough value for me. Without maxims or assumptions, explain the value of "humanities."
Sure you can. Neither quats nor myself had any fucking thing to do with humanities there and the discussion came up in the context of the natural sciences. More than that, the impediment to the discussion is the intrusive perspective of the humanities!
