Honestly though, just tell him that he isn't engaging with art in anywhere near an intelligent way. That it's very surface level. If he's like most libs that will offend him and he might need to reconsider how he interpreted it.
Did... did you teacher have a part in Starship Troopers? Is he this guy?
Show
EDIT:
He believes that he can do a non-STEM job just as well as a non-STEM person because only STEM degrees matter and everything else is, quoting him, "children's puppet theater."
An obvious counter that should shut this dude down: "Why are we talking about this? It's just a movie, not real life. Why are you reading so much into it?"
Meet his incuriosity with your own. He sounds like he's seeking validation for his intelligence and denying that will drive him up a wall.
I fully believe university education should be mandatory for most people, with more cross-field education required.
I know so many STEMbros who couldn’t understand the themes of a film or book if you smacked them in the head with it, and I also know so many humanities majors that fundamentally don’t understand the physical world around them to a point I don’t understand how they can walk down the street without dying.

oh then why's he even pretending to understand a movie, ask him if you can fuck around in his lab despite not being a chemist

Maybe if "Starship Troopers" was presented in 'children's puppet theater' format the themes would be more apparent.

sometimes I wonder what it'd be like to be a completely incurious dipshit, it always sounds so stress-free

That's why I love having a stem doctorate. I get to make those people feel like the shit idiots they are.
He's right in the exact wrong way lol. Without any understanding of the humanities, it is a puppet show- and he's the puppet.

He sounds like the kind of guy who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near kids, or puppets for that matter

And this is why multi-disciplinary education is so important.

There is no remedy then.
