@existentialcomics Good news! The new administration hates ALL academic fields equally! No longer do HSS scholars have to gaze in envy at scientists receiving support from the Government!

@existentialcomics I agree. Humanity is dumb. It should try fixing that.

@existentialcomics Yes, as Hannh Arendt points out, the sciences try to understand how something happens, while the humanities rather understand what something is because its essence revelas itself only in relation to our own.
