There is no dearth of midwittery in the non-STEM fields. I admit this is elitist and downright snobbish, but I am disgusted that somebody else can get a degree from the same university as me in a non-STEM major and piggyback off of prestige they didn't create.
It doesn't matter what I value. The people who wanna hire me for jobs or invest in my fund value status.
There's a reason companies hire people they don't need: to make themselves look bigger to investors and in the case of law firms, clients.
Analyzing complex systems from first principles and challenging decisions that have no good reason is a noble cause, but it's only useful if you have the authority to make the changes. I'm not dictator of the world, I don't get to dictate how customers, clients, or employers shall make their business and hiring decisions.
