Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.That is so true. I remember when I worked as a vending route driver at a state university that was all about science and tech, and listening to the students talk amongst themselves, nary a one that had any knowledge of humanities or liberal arts, all of them obviously grooming themselves for careers in science and tech where they would make good money, never join a union, and either loyally vote Republican, or, even worse, become Libertarians... To them, Ayn Rand was a god and science could solve all problems, it was their religion and the only thing that mattered, not people or humans...

Agreed!
No one can learn everything, but the best education is well-rounded.
Science is important, but not every important form of thinking is a science.
The most effective mind is a flexible mind.

So true on both counts. I have met so many tech people that are inevitably conservatives or Libertarians, because they have never studied any liberal arts or humanities courses, so they know nothing of history, economics, sociology, poli sci, philosophy, etc, and think there is a technical solution to everything, so they vote for technocrat and fascist leaders. And they totally think that money is everything and that the strong should be able to run over the weak and everybody else, same as the rich over everybody else. And they love dog eat dog competition, since they were always the smartest kids in school, so they are glad to work for corporations that exploit most of them, because their kind would never join any unions in their industry, since individualism reigns supreme with them. Yes, they are a curse on our society when it comes to politics and the atomizing of our society.
