Some of the very worst of the worst liberal takes, apologia for fascist shit, and of course cryptobro grifts and even Tesla worship keep coming from there. It’s fucked.

I don’t want to say all programmers or tech workers are like that, but I don’t like what I’ve seen so far from people with a .programming suffix on their names. disgost

    Yeah, I did both a science and a humanities degree and he differences between the students was always really stark. My STEM classmates not only disliked the humanities classes, they were openly hostile towards philosophy and literature as concepts. Nearly all of them had a conception that anything that happened before they were born wasn’t worth knowing. They had no interest in culture, were unaware of stuff like landmark movies or novels. It was hard to relate to them. Some of the STEM classmates were cool, but they were the ones most likely to stay in academia forever. They were actually interested in numbers and science, and didn’t simply see knowledge as some instrument to become middle class.

    I never met the opposite, a humanities student outright hostile to science itself, except for one very weird Foucault acolyte. Most of the time they’d just say they’re bad at math, which is fair. I’m pretty bad at math too.
