It's like who's making the stories and creating the art designs and characters for these things? If the world was full of engineers.... I don't even wanna think about it... I just kinda felt like getting that off my chest.

EDIT: I'm talking about STEMlord types here, just to be clear. Not STEM majors, but the specific type that loves to lord over the fact that they are superior to other majors. And I say this as someone who did STEM myself but only came to really appreciate the humanities much later.

EDIT 2: This clip from Jurassic Park is so critical here: https://youtu.be/mRNX6XJOeGU

    It's part of an aggressive attack on the humanities and civil society going back at least to Reagan, if not Carter. The absolute contempt for anything that produces culture or that complicates our view of society. Contempt for anything that doesn't visibly and obviously produce profits for capitol, with no consideration for the long term consequences of gutting all the less tangible forms of production; knowledge, culture, education.

    It's real sicko shit, and STEM zombies are to completely unwitting victims of the phenomena, too stupid and uncultured to be aware of their own blindness.
