@starbreaker what might also be relevant, KU Leuven is the "Most innovative university in europe" according to Reuters' data on patent applications, and it's treated as sort of a big deal. Just now figured that that's probably why it's all entrepreneurship and no humanities. If they wanna keep that position, it's best to teach that capitalism is a must, ethics are optional and humanities are for people who don't run cool start-ups.

Guess that means capitalism is bad, who woulda thunk.

@starbreaker @jelle_dc my university actually does teach tech ethics, but it's a rather small part of any degree and taught pretty poorly. it's a requirement to graduate, but most only shoot for a passing grade, which means they can pretty much ignore it. i'm not entirely sure how to fix it, all things considered.

@starbreaker @jelle_dc I'd love to have access to ethics classes. I don't plan to attend university any time soon. We ought to make ethics classes for every one! ^_^
