Based on the people that I have met in my life I wonder how people with such shitty politics and views on marginalized communities can have so many friends and be so smart in STEM, the intelligetsia? (lemmy.ml)

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?

My college required four humanities classes for every degree. Including STEM. Really wish more pushed that.

My college had a special philosophy for Engineering class that counted towards our humanities class that was basically DOD propaganda about how you aren't morally responsible when you make weapons that end up committing war crimes

One of my humanities classes was a study on successful rebellions and how they overthrow governments through united effort. Much happier with mine, lol
