There is nothing that makes a conversation with someone better than relating the topic to some apocryphal story of something spicy that Plato said to Aristotle. It is cool if you don't overdo it, and makes conversation more interesting.

What do you do with a STEM education? Make Big Bang Theory references? You can't do anything worth a damn with a STEM degree anyways, you're better off getting a classical liberal education and having a reservoir of fun quips to throw into your discussions, and you might gain a more interesting insight on life than how to use a protractor properly so your boss with a classics degree doesn't fire you.

"I don't understand electricity and it hasn't prevented me from putting food in my mouth."

Idiocy like this is why I always oppose hiring people without STEM degrees.

"There is nothing that makes a conversation with someone better than relating the topic to some apocryphal story of something spicy that Plato said to Aristotle. "

Really? Nothing? A grounding in thinkers who came before is, of course, helpful and we disregard it at our own peril. But if you're leaning on this sort of shit constantly, then you need to take a long hard look at yourself. Are you really thinking, or just parroting?

A shared set of cultural touchstones is a defining part of culture; in large measure, thinking is analogical thinking, conveying thought requires analogy, and the the flow of history has left us with enduring analogies that capture aspects of ARE human condition. Much has been lost since the time, for example, everyone knew at least the tentpole stories of the Bible.
