Number one thing to study in college if you want to preserve more than the "what" of humanity, too.
A side note in response to your edit: A great number of technology companies have been drawing from the liberal arts field because of the difference in thinking they provide. Not that it is better, but it does add to the programming scope and sequence. When it comes down to it, without the liberal arts, we'd be pretty damned monotone even in describing the hard sciences. For some, that'd be peachy, but not for all, and certainly not to convey the importance of science to those who are not scientists. There was a charge of arrogance leveled at my statement about the liberal arts a while back. Science has its own hubristic tendencies, some of which don't exactly lend themselves to bettering the quality of human life. We need both, demonstrably.
