no an A level is a major time commitment basically it just doesn't make sense within the UKs educational structure to mandate a subject past 16. At that point you're enough of an adult that you can decide for yourself whether or not to take math
A level maths is the most popular A level in the UK plenty of people take it and mandating the rest do too would only be detrimental to the quality of learning any of them get
Oh no thatd be useless because you dont have a party directing engineers to important tasks. I know a guy who was wasting his talents in AI making summarized documents for lawyers so they can more accurately read their draconian laws. A sensible country would not automate that, theyd get rid of the draconian and obtuse laws and put the engineer on something more useful
I thought we were talking about China focusing on engineering. :thonk-cri:
yeah it's super depressing knowing about STEM in the west because you can see how things could be improved for people but no one will pay for the kind of large project that could actually help people
I feel like more and more people in STEM are coming to realize that this is fucked and their jobs are absurd and they could be using their talents for a million better things. But I also notice that people in my profession that think like that are not white guys.
Idk, to me, it seems like a lot of the white guys in tech are in some sort of strange cult. I got that vibe before transitioning. Now I'm an 'out' group so they act very differently around me at work. Its a similar vibe to a bunch of old dudes who were high school best buddies going to a strip club without their wives knowing

Maybe the white guys simply go crazy and become tech bros rather than deal with those ideas
