I don’t find myself disagreeing with this. I feel like we are mostly differing over “Humanities” and “humanities”. Even so, understanding the nature of the “Humanities” is an exercise that gives a useful lens on the world. I suppose we also differ on the threat/extent of “Humanities” indoctrination. It might be my sensitivity to susceptibility to a counter threat informed by my Chinese experience. I see these wars of ideological absurdity better than no war. Koons was actually put to use this way, right?
