About those “humanities classes” arguments: I took a philosophy class that explained the difference between sense and reference. I often see arguments on Tumblr that depend on the idea that sense and reference are the same thing. Some people build entire worldviews around this confusion.

But on the other hand, I’ve seen people grasp the difference between sense and reference just by reading the statement “the map is not the territory.” So I don’t think you need an entire college class in that.
