To be blunt, the current economic value of the humanities is pretty low, just like STEM as developed by humans will be in the future. I think universities may play a role in the future, but more as something people do for fun as a hobby, and not mainly for its superior teaching capability, but for the social experience.
Oh it's pretty high, especially when people fail to realize the meaning of tariffs, what's inflation, how the government works and the role of due process.
The bill usually comes due when we faithfully recreate failures of the past while failing to learn from others' experiences in the present.
