    This is only tangentially related to your point, but gut instinct says shit like this is gonna define the public’s image of the tech industry post-bubble - all style, no subtance, and zero understanding of art, humanities, or how to be useful to society.

    Referencing an earlier comment, part of me also suspects the arts/humanities will gain some degree of begrudging respect post-bubble, at the expense of tech/STEM’s public image taking a nosedive.
