Humanities/Machinities

I once attended a book reading by this Delbanco guy mentioned in the article.  No, wait, that was Nick Delbanco.  Are they related? 
 
So market value for humanities is down.  Unsurprising.  As we all become cogs in a machine, chiefly valued for being and efficiently oiled part specific to its purpose, anything reeking of the human must be squelched.  The entire technocratic arsenal of education might be re-termed, the Machinities.  Machine-at-ease?...
