That happens with classes like history or philosophy, the ones that are considered to be mostly useless blablabla.
Those being treated as useless (goes back to No Child) is the fucking problems
Humans are not innately moral, someone needs to teach them that shit, that's what history and philosophy is for
They are useless. History is useless by definition; and philosophy has reached the peak of its usefulness somewhere in the middle of the XIX century and can't do better anymore. Like alchemy, which was useful at some point.
Often, people who say that philosophy and the study of history are useless endeavours are hoping for the resurrection of some historical philosophy or another and they don't want people to find out how and why it failed.
Are you one of those people?
That's strange logic. I just want people to analyze the current situation with modern tools, not referring to some ancient legends.
