liberal art education x AI

Re : Frey 

I agree with the direction but for fundamentally different reasons, unless this turns out to be a case of linguistic confusion

(1) I'm not a human exclusivist, as I figured out around 2004 how to map all my qualia to quantifiable data structures

(2) the tradition of the "liberal arts" is originally tied to capitalism not humanism - "skills for nonslave humans"; on the other hand, the tradition of a "liberal education" carries more of the modern notion of humanism; both meet around the junction of participative democracy, but one term is thousands of years older in context

(3) the contemporary liberal arts are more like trivium, natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, macroeconomic allocation, geopolitics, law, and engineering (including medicine) sure, but it really is a different thesis.

Or I'm just splitting hairs? Haha. Maybe analytical/ quantitative phenomenology will become a liberal art, in the future. :p

I spent my undergraduate career rudely complaining about this to my professors. Basically nothing has changed since 2003 🤣
