But that's why I'm a (rare) proponent of a liberal arts education. The
broader (some might say "more useless" :-) education of a liberal arts
degree goes a long way toward teaching one to think, study, and learn.


But over the last thirty years or so a liberal arts "education" has
increasingly taught students to "think" only one way.

Ah...no, they teach (roughly) that thinking is impotent, reality doesn't
exist and a slew of other noxious "ideas". And it's not the last thirty
years, but more like the 1920's and John Dewey.
