this sounds so cursed

good history to be reading today. among other things, supporters of the 1965 founding of the NEH (inc. Norman Podhoretz lol) argued that the humanities were needed to "humanize industrial society" and prevent Americans from becoming the "unthinking servants of their technology"

i get stupid media requests once in a while (usually some freelance guy who thinks I can Do His Research for him) but this is the absolute stupidest. WalletHub why are you badgering history professors for insurance testimonials

to be clear, like 50% of the reason I get requests like this has to do with our "leading historians" and professional orgs promoting the historian as pundit and expert commentator on everything. literally can't think of a worse look for our profession

Lol wtf is going on over there

This is absolutely not the kind of Latin you would learn at liberal arts college, it’s the kind of Latin you learn from a hot quotes website and that’s a critical distinction

Seriously!!

wish the protest industrial complex would spend, like, one second thinking about D.C. and not say shit like this

no, no it does not, please stop using history this way!

this is such a weird thing to put into your article!

right, "easy" and "hard" aren't meaningful descriptors in the humanities--it's more good/bad (which is less subjective than you think, actually). that said, it's a lot easier to do difficult math than it is to do good writing
