Like you might think that abstract intelligence and social intelligence might carry over solidarity instead of making people more shitty in that regard. How does that even work? Why does people like that coast in life while those who they seem lesser than them suffer?

If there's a bourgeoisified working class, it's STEM. Their relation to the means of production mean that they are elevated above other workers, benefiting from monopolization and imperialism. When the money line goes up, their wages do too.

At least, that's how it was before the c-suite started trying to replace entry-level tech jobs with LLMs. I think things might start changing once they can't just get any job they want after graduation and are kicked into the dirt with the rest of us.
