people with degrees from reddit university love too not know what "the humanities" actually refers to. literally everything the roman statue avis pretend to care about is covered by the humanities.
i guess it makes sense that the site that birthed /r/atheism would think that Le Science encompasses the entirety of legitimate human intellectual endeavors.
Some sciences are too soft for the average :reddit-logo: STEM stan, like biology most of the time (unless it's used as a clumsy bludgeon against trans people). I've even seem then look down upon sciences that are too hard if they're too abstract and theoretical and are therefore not likely to produce treats or the "singularity" nerd rapture any time soon.
They also don't seem to like the math part of STEM all that much, especially if it's too abstract and theoretical. May as well be called TrEat.
Engineering is usually what these people care about. Coincidentally, engineers are much more likely to be right wing :thinkin-lenin: (in my experience)
Engineering tends to be so cut and dry with how stuff works, and I think the average emgineer is looking for that kind of certainty. Sciences and the humanities tend to be much more wishywashy, and you tend to not be able to answer questions with absolute certainty.
I think the mindset of engineers and many nurses/doctors are quite similar in regards to the desire for something cut and dry. Many (most?) premed students struggle with classes like organic chemistry, in which getting an answer requires (depending on the course obv) lots of flexible thinking. Idk if thats really a real trend but I'm curious if others have had the same thoughts.

Techbro's guide to STEM:
Science: Immortality! So they can consume treats forevermore
Technology: Video game, VR, gadgets like in those cool cyber punk game, submissive AI servant/girlfriend
Engineering: Car, car tunnel, car infrastructure, flying car, space car, sexbot body for their AI slave
Mathematics: Empirical™ proof that letting people in the equators die from climate collapse is the most logical course of action, actually.

i guess STEM sounds a lot better than "the servile arts" which was the historical name for whatever didn't get to be a liberal art
