General Discussion

Intellectual talent has been badly brain drained from the humanities, largely for monetary reasons. We may see some much needed competition in the humanities if the caliber of people currently forced into STEM (to make a living) start to return to philosophy, the social sciences, and art.

I wouldn't count on it though. AI is pretty good at the humanities. There's going to be a need to find a balance point with AI. We were already out of the frying pan and into the fire anyway. Just look around. Natural intelligence magnified by the Internet is no walk in the park. AI can neutralize a whole lot of "dumbness waves" and cray cray. But we don't want to compete with it.
