The Humanities Need an Ally: Could It Be Computer Code? (ozy.com)

> At its best, the study of the humanities is an exercise in analytical skills, critical thinking and logic.

I think there is a typo, author probably meant mathematics. Most study of humanities are threatened by logic and critical thinking.

Humanities are a dead end in the sense of research and sience, so let’s stop pretending they are not. Instead, let’s reframe studiying humanities as an activity of personal and cultural enrichment, just like foreign languages.

Tellingly, the argument in the text amounts to a strong appeal to the classical humanities as a premise rather than supporting it against alternatives. I'm thinking we should all learn logic and critical thinking whether we major in English or not. Luckily, those other paths exists.
