I said it before and I’ll say it again: Aren’t techbros supposed to be smart?
Learning coding and engineering is no joke, so I’ll give them that. But seriously how are people that smart but still so much of them can be so foolish? I’m guessing self-interest is just one hell of a drug.
People smart about one thing can often overestimate how smart they are about other things, and that goes especially for people perceived as undisputed geniuses, like techbros have been throughout decades of propaganda.
A lot of engineers are actually sympathetic towards implementing a planned economy to reduce emissions. They just don’t make it to the news or are promoted by social media algorithms.
I’m an engineer and I can count non-chud engineers I’ve met on just one hand. The field is overwhelmingly filled with rightwingers who see themselves as better than the unwashed masses on a fundamental level

this has been the one uniting trait for every engineer I’ve ever met
A disturbing number of engineers are creationists.

Probably depends heavily on where you live and field.
CS is not hard it’s just tedious. It’s the only stem field where you can get away with being wordcel.
I work in tech. The average tech bro is of average intelligence.
