A university education should give one tools for self-transformation. Foremost among these tools are literature, Classics, mathematics and the physics of nonlinear dynamics (self-organizing criticality). One can learn these tools in an applied field, say anthropology, but sadly such fields have been co-opted by narrow-focussed agendas that no longer provide the full panoply of tools of a full Arts degree (which should include those of literature (interpretation, expression through communication), Classics (psycho-social dynamics, rhetoric, causation), math (conceptual modelling and logic) and science (causation, empirical method, biology).
