Setting the AI angle entirely aside, this has always been the value of the humanities: learning how to inhabit an unfamiliar point of view. That's immensely valuable, no matter what you end up doing with your life.

That was my experience as well. I took a humanities class in college as a semi-random choice from a list of electives, and gained an entirely new perspective. As a budding computer geek I'd always thought of history, art, architecture, music, writing, language, all these things, as kind of a list of separate fields that all changed over time for whatever reasons. It was truly eye-opening to learn how interrelated all these things are, and the implications for how history has progressed for millenia and how it has affected our own time.

Isn't learning base-60 math helping to understand time calculations? I mean, didn't the author didn't get that or am I simply wrong with that assumption?
