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

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.
