When I was an infant taking my first couple years of EE I joined right in with everyone else ridiculing the "basket weavers".

Now I say that stem is just a tool that does no good by itself. It's just as harmful as beneficial. An engineer doesn't like to think of themself as a tool, but tough shit. Without the humanities an engineer is exactly that, merely a tool that others wield, and others decide how to wield and to what ends.

Stem tells you how to build a bridge or a bomb. The humanities tells you whether/when/why to build a bridge or a bomb.
