Some significant %age of quantitative work is just rediscovering stuff that humanists (or indeed ordinary people) already know (b/c we read literature, understand history, do ethnography, etc.), but which doesn't count as "real" knowledge b/c not quantified or experimentally "proven." Sigh.

Ooh ooh... is the answer to the physician one "a shaman"? Or is that unfair to shamans?
This is actually a fun game. Every school bus driver needs to identify a person who has had their driver's license revoked they admire... Every optician needs to identify a naked mole rat they admire...

There's even great data on this, despite all the talking points & revealed preferences of everyone, including many university leaders, for participating in the collective societal push to convince parents & students that the liberal arts are bad choices for students' career & salary prospects.
👇🎯 Periodic reminder that the right-wing career/salary talking points about the liberal arts are belied by huge piles of data (e.g., news.wisc.edu/new-data-on-...), & the complicity of Democrats & university administrators in repeating those right-wing talking points is a major part of then problem.

The LLM was this bad at correcting my misinformed take on ancient writing systems. Now do a topic involving human rights or democracy. Why would I encourage the use of this? See the work of @annakornbluh.bsky.social and @ehayot.bsky.social at against-a-i.com (end of 🧵)
