Will creativity become valued more highly than STEM skills in the near-term future?
I'm doubling down here folks :) My prior post was called-out for being click-baity and rightfully so. The title was especially poor. I'll try to do better moving forward. I'm starting a discussion...
I'm doubling down here folks :) My prior post was called-out for being click-baity and rightfully so. The title was especially poor. I'll try to do better moving forward.
I'm starting a discussion here because my hope is that we can talk about the ideas within the article, rather than the article itself.
Here was the original post for those interested: https://tildes.net/~humanities/3y1/mark_cuban_says_the_ability_to_think_creatively_will_be_critical_in_10_years_and_elon_musk_agrees
I posted the article because at it's core are several interesting observations/propositions from two billionaires, Mark Cuban and Elon Musk, that presumably know a lot about business, and in Musk's case, a lot about STEM, and have a history of making winning bets on the future.
The article supposes that:
- Many (most?) STEM jobs will become automated
- This will happen very quickly; more quickly than we anticipate
- Creative skills will soon become more highly valued than STEM skills
There was a time when parents told their kids to "become a lawyer or a doctor" but after enough time we end up with too many people going into the same profession and there is more competition for those jobs as the market becomes flooded. I know anecdotally that's happened for lawyers (not sure about doctors).
I can see this happening with STEM as well.
Should parents encourage kids to pursue STEM but pair this with equal study in the humanities? Is STEM the next target of automation? Will creative skills be more highly valued? Will engineers find themselves in the bread line?

SpaceX is achieving high bandwidth, 25ms latency with Starlink test satellites
@elonmusk: @nitantbhartia @ninoles @medickinson @thephysicsgirl Pretty good. TinTin A & B are both closing the link to ground w phased array at high bandwidth, low latency (25 ms). Good enough to play fast response video games.
