The world existed before STEM was the thing do the day, and the world will suffer for the rejection of the social sciences now. One day, the world will see its error and learn to find the proper balance of the two. Without both, society cannot exist.

From the people who brought you the Encyclopaedia Brittanica...think about it. Isn‘t this exactly what the encyclopaedia does?
Even at the graduate level, the Encyclopaedia Brittanica is a viable and reliable source - a starting point - for (new) information.

“Fundamental to the Scottish notion of history is the idea of progress... one of the crucial ways we measure progress is by how far we have come from what we were before. THE PRESENT JUDGES THE PAST, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.”
I find that last sentence to be crucial, especially looking at the world around us today. How will the future judge us for this madness?
