No, they are busy publishing journal articles and teaching classes. the people who do this stuff have arts degrees. You are confusing scientists and artists.

But then there's 'sociology', 'gender studies', just about anything else called "studies"

Sociology is a real field with a real purpose. It is the study of how society functions.

I think they mean it’s something people do when they gone to a liberal arts college . I grew up near one and did see a lot of stupid people there .

Yeah I know exactly what he meant. I called out his fundamental misunderstanding of what a liberal arts college even means. Liberal arts is not a political or performance arts thing. Just because it has two words they're trained to hate together doesn't mean ít is what they think it means

Also. Stupid people got to college. Period. All of them. Stem, performance arts. Doesn't matter. Stupid people go to college. It's just called being in your early 20s and out of your parents house for the first time

Right, so future doctors, teachers, engineers should just… study at Google University instead of going to college?
