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

    Any division you perceive between the arts and the sciences is entirely culturally manufactured. People with engineering degrees don’t have to drink a potion that makes them hate art to graduate. Everyone from music theorists to avant garde sculptors use advanced math in their work. The cutting edge of science and philosophy are in constant academic dialogue with each other.

    I agree. I was talking about STEMlord types. I mean just look at Neil DeGrasse Tyson when he said that philosophy is useless: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/neil-degrasse-tyson-and-the-value-of-philosophy_b_5330216. There's a whole army of these STEMlords that worship Elon Musk and love Sam Harris that believe this shit.
