   People often complain about the humanities requirements for CS degrees, and now the world is run by tech executives who don’t have a clue.

      Do we have any examples of societies or governments ran by humanities people? I at least don't know any country ran by tech execs. If we can find examples of both, then we can compare and see.

         Law is a branch of humanities, so most governments are ran by humanities people

            I was about to add if Law is considered part of humanities. Many of the better governments have been founded by law background people, so I'd say that is at least a data point.
