We have plenty of "how-to's", but I see a distinct lack of "why-for's". It's very good to know *how* to do something, but I think it's equally important to know *why* to do something.

@kemonine dunno, too lazy to get off my phone and check. 😁

@viciousviscosity most of those you should figure out alone, though

@Efi The personal ones, absolutely. Reading a bit about the why, which is largely philosophical or at least colored by the lens of the writer, over the logical, factual 'how', of less personal items could prove to be useful.

@viciousviscosity Please tell that to Stanford University, which is singlemindedly laboring to kill off any vestiges of why-for (i.e. the #humanities) in its curriculum.

Maybe we need a slogan.... "Un-STEM the tide"?
