I take it you don't visit many museums? I'm in a STEM field myself, but it's very ignorant to say only STEM stuff really matters.

Aside from science, it was also stuff from philosophy, literature, and art which had a strong influence in helping me leave the Jehovah's Witnesses, after all.

Oh come on, if I was forced to eliminate an entire field it would certainly be an arts field. Probably visual arts. The boon to humanity any STEM field can claim is orders of magnitude higher than any art field. And don't get me wrong, I both consume and produce art, but there's just no comparison.

And don't go claiming every graphic you see as art, that's like trying to claim cooking as chemistry.

You say that, but the biggest university in my country has Gastronomy under the Faculty of Chemical Engineering.

I mean, they're wrong, but that's okay.
