I learned more valuable stuff in humanities courses than in CS, frankly. Boothby taught my 1991 honors level introductory course in the classic philosophy (pre-Socratic to Aristotle). 2 things I apply *every day* in my work in #FOSS politics: * for the pre-Socratics, mythology & philosophy were intertwined. the myths were parables to understand truths, & inseparable * Socractic Epiphany is central to moral thought: you become less sure the more you learn. The latter dominates AI issues rn.
