not really directly related but need to tell the story. In college there was an engineer major. Was not doing well with his grades barely holding on. Could never go out as he desperately tried to get his grades up every weekend. Changed his major to marketing and was out getting wasted every weekend and his grades went to all aces. I sometimes think us stem folks should have all changed majors and wrecked their curves.

I'd say we need engineers, but those dumbfucks are the ones who make all the decisions, so maybe it would be beat to take a break from having engineers. No offense.

its not engineers. its business folks utlizing talent. bezos and musk are not geniuses who created these things they are venture capitalists who funded them.

Yes and since we don't have engineers or sane people making the decisions, we should take a break from having engineers. Learn to read.

why would engineers existing cause people not to learn to read? I really don't get the connection here. I in no way want to abandon stem just reign in capitalism.
