Fun fact: the name "liberal arts" derives from the Roman idea of what was necessary for a free man to know.

Okay, but just to clarify, I'm not making a statement about liberal arts, I'm making a statement about the quote.

Unlike most educated people, I don't hold the Greeks and Romans with high regard. :{

Yeah, it's an ignorant thing to say and it buys in to the stupid modern trend of reducing everything to economic value, too.

It is an ignorant thing to say, but I don't see it as "reducing everything to economic value".

I see it as someone who thinks more highly of liberal arts than other more economically sound careers and saying something biased. :{
