    (probably not that) Hot take. But I think that not having everyone study STEM or “productive” (by capitalism’s standard) studies is a good thing for the world.

    Sure, philosophy doesn’t pay. But is the world better with, or without, people who study philosophy?

      Depends on the quality of the philosophy and how dire the need is for people who learned immediately useful subjects.
