As for the possible elimination of the NEH, I unfortunately know how and to whom governmental scholarships in the Humanities are awarded here and in Canada and how they are spent. So in my opinion, good riddance. People have gone completely nuts trying to invent reasons why Humanities need massive influxes of cash but it’s all lies and waste.
For as long as these scholarships – that are entirely inaccessible to most of us – exist, they can be used to persecute any one of us for not wasting our lives on hopelessly pursuing them. I’ll lose nothing but stress and annoyance once they are gone, so I have no reason to bemoan their disappearance.
We need to stop buying into the lie that Humanities die without capital. No, we die once we give ourselves over to capital.
