a: Humanities education ~
b: financial pit
What: "I'm not sure if you know much about the current status of higher education, but humanities education is on a path to being eliminated except for at ivy league schools and the ten or so big research schools (which Pitt has become a member of now thanks to biotechnology). The reason for this is that schools of higher education are being run more and more like businesses, with education simply being a way to get a job rather than a life-shaping event. Most of humanities education is like a financial pit. So it's predicted that only those aforementioned universities will have the money to continue to teach the humanities."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
