A road to nowhere.

Are the humanities literature?

Not obsolete, the rank and file just needs to be purged. Unfortunately we can't just jump out the window like that, eradicating tenure carries with it its own dangerous implications.

The humanities are more relevant now than ever

The 90% democratic professor demographic that preaches diversity in everything but the makeup of the faculty.

I dont know

It just seems to me that human experience isn't valued or even valuable for itself anymore -- more like it's there to be 'used' - as a material, to be looked at

like we've convinced ourselves we are the end of the line but have no idea what is coming next

Most non liberal profs are in the government and history.

The fact you're asking this question shows the humanities are still relevant to you at least

“This old, folkish layer survives in us all, and to speak as I really think, I do not consider religion the most adequate means of keeping it under lock and key. For that, literature alone avails, humanistic science, the ideal of the free and beautiful human being.”
― Thomas Mann, Doctor Faustus
