there are many reasons to be disrespectful of ppl who crow about how their Staggering STEMlord Intelligence™ makes them superior at thinking about "systems" or "humanity" or whatever
but by far the best one is how often these people's aesthetic taste is absolutely dogshit
#some guy: I Know How To Make Society Better#that same guy: writes some long cringey op-ed with a tortured metaphor involving the United Federation of Planets#no disrespect to Star Trek but come the fuck on. it's 2024. you're in your 40s.#surely you have literally any other model or work of art you can draw on for thinking meaningfully about society.#(to be clear this is purely an aesthetic judgment.#i find ppl's competency/moral fortitude/etc is not particularly correlated with Not Having Bad Taste)#(but i am in fact a snob when it comes to aesthetics)#(and we all gotta pick something to be lowkey bitchy about lol)#((also humanities ppl you're not off the hook either#every time someone's like Humanities Makes You A Better Person#i want to pull up a list of the Fancy Humanities Degrees of every absolute ghoul in congress lol))
