Like liberal arts.


Why's that, Dave? Because the phrase contains the word "liberal"?




Stephen Hawking is the product of a liberal arts education, with
collegiate studies in math, physics, natural science and cosmology.

Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso, one of my personal heroes, holds the Tibetan
academic degree of Geshe Lharampa, roughly equivalent in Western terms
to a Ph.D. in Buddhist metaphysics. He's a liberal arts graduate.

From a website about liberal arts education:

"A liberal arts education is not designed as training for a specific
occupation. What it does do better than any other type of college or
university preparation is sharpen analytical and communication skills,
teach students how to learn, and provide students with a body of
knowledge that can be applied to larger contexts. Thus, it is no
surprise that the leaders in most career fields are liberal arts
graduates whose specialized training occurred in graduate or
professional school."


Our man Dave obviously had a ****-poor education.
