I agree that it’s high fucking time that we stopped acting like we need to grovel and constantly justify the existence of some of our most incredibly elemental and ancient human pursuits.
Are the humanities the only disciplines whose classes begin with modules speaking to the importance of studying the humanities? "Why study the humanities?" and "Why the humanities are important" must be cliches.

That's the difference.
The illusion of objectivity is the belief that knowledge is neutral and independent of human influence. It masks the role of choices, models, language, and historical context in the construction of knowledge, especially in science.
