Tech Needs Humanists More

As AI becomes increasingly capable of handling technical tasks and generating content, the tech industry needs professionals grounded in the humanities—philosophy, literature, linguistics, and history—to develop critical thinking, form meaningful positions, and understand complex human systems. Rather than prioritizing coding skills or trades, professionals should study foundational human knowledge to cultivate the ability to think deeply and independently, skills that distinguish humans from AI in an era where knowledge work risks becoming mere "polite exchanges between AI agents."
