Another note from reading this article “Hey, Computer Scientists! Stop Hating on the Humanities” in Wired on ethics in tech and science.
The fact that so many computer scientists are ignorant or disdainful of non-technical approaches…
Really? Fact?
The author fails in her arguments, not only in this paragraph. She goes off the rails in more places.
A more socially focused curriculum would not only make coders less likely to cause harm; it might also make them more likely to do good.
Computer scientists are bad people that hate humanities, but can be converted into good people if they are exposed to the humanies.
That me a bit too much of the religious othodoxy I was exposed to in my childhood.
The topic of ethics in technology is too important to be discussed in platitudes.
