I try to be one of those scientists who is also well-versed in the humanities.

There are very few rewards for it, though, apart from a smug feeling of superiority to everybody and a massive further decrease in the number of people with whom I have anything in common. :)

Wait a minute, being knowledgeable in the humanities should vastly increase the number of people with whom you have something in common!

Nah, it just doubles the likelihood that someone you're talking to is gonna say something you know is stupid.

Ah, there's that smug feeling of superiority you were talking about. :)
