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
All art would be on the tier of Harry Potter And The Methods Of Rationality
Idk why we'd take the model to be Yudkowski and not Asimov, or even Futurama's writers' room. Imo it's kind of lazy to assume that training someone as an engineer would kill their creativity or creative drive. It's basically the same thinking that makes people think communism is when man in beige overalls hits things with hammer.
but that is what communism is
It can't be because it jeopardizes my volcel pledge!!
then you were never committed in the first place
Shit, I've been doing it wrong the whole time
But yeah, I was being facetious. I've met way too many STEM types who idolize Yudkowsky, and I'll never pass on a chance to dunk on him.
Ready Player One, forever. :desolate:

He's talking about a parody of Harry Potter written by technically a STEM guy (really more of a dick who managed to scam himself into becoming the head of an AI research institute).
