No, but I know very few STEMy people who can discuss human culture with any depth or nuance beyond the rudiments of modern liberalism or some undeveloped intuition for Enlightenment ideals. One of them is a programmer who got a degree in English. Go figure?<p>I avoided doubling up in a humanities precisely because the course load seemed like it would be too much. Give me a differential equation or Lie algebra any day. Engaging human beings in complex arguments is exhausting. Mathematics studies concepts simple enough to compress to a few pages of symbols. The difference is, I am as in love with mathematics as I am with English, or history, or philosophy. I can imagine manifold ways for a person to be duped into a STEM program at first (most of them being kin to the threat of economic uncertainty without a highly paid professional job) only to abandon it when they could not engage with the work enough to do it well.
