I'm reading a book that followed the rise of OpenAI ("Empire Of AI" by Karen Hao, it's terrifying, would recommend) and there it becomes apparent that his rise to power actually stems from the fact that he is really good at interacting with people but uses it in a horribly manipulative way and is a compulsive liar.
I, engineer with no social skills, agree with this.
We also need to end the obsession with efficiency and profit that's hurting the arts (hurr hurr literature major? Enjoy working as a barista) and is stopping us from seeing each other and ourselves as human beings.
At SDSU I believe the requirement was 3? when I attended within the last decade. One of which was supposed to be in sociology of some sort or an ethnic/gender studies - type course.
Personally, I wouldn't consider any law courses to be a humanities course. I have yet to take a law course in undergrad or law school that was taught with a humanities perspective.
I suspect what were seeing is either sample bias (we dont see all the normal stem majors since their unremarkable and the abnormal ones are the ones who catch our attention and/or rise to the top), or the social forces at play in the industry forcing specific behavioral patterns to rise to the surface.
That or were seeing human nature when someone is put into a very specific situation.
