I feel I should clarify so that nobody misunderstands: I'm talking about the way many STEM people talk about humanities etc. like they're not "real science", despite the fact that they utilize the scientific method and produce useful results.

Emphasize research skills and fact-checking skills in school STEM classes. Get the kids familiar with what a real scientific study looks like rather than just pages from their shitty textbooks. You can't just feed them information, you must provide the skills to find their own information. As they say, give a man a fish, feed him for a day, teach him to fish, etc.

Humanities does not use the scientific method. Do you know the difference between the humanities and the social sciences?
