>STEM
I only see undergrad March for Science tier drooling imbeciles blanketing their field under "STEM". This lends credence to the DUDE SCIENCE, type of dogmatic reasoning espoused by these brainlets. In fact, offering any sort of alternative hypothesis or refutation of some mainline pop-sci, cannot be handled. They'll get enraged and call you "anti-science" and a denialist. My favorite is whenever they accost you of not having gone to college, as if their 4-year undergrad degree with an actual concentration in the material of under 30 credits (less than 10 courses, mostly a summary understanding, and much less expected that they actually read the texts) makes them an expert on the matter. STEM was a complete and total mistake, and has caused an influx of brainlets entering into the sciences. The fact that you unironically used the term makes me worried that this book is actually shit. It should be said that technology is only valuable so long as it is not a crutch for domestification which will decline the overall health and intelligence of the human species; the fact that we prioritize medical treatment of the unfit, the chronically diseased, and old people who only have a few years left at the expense of the healthiest members of the species is only one such example.

STEM is a fantastic category insofar it delineates a group of productive intellectually honest people in the sea of semi-literate pseuds that get booty bothered by a marketing term and think attaching an epic rebbit wojak edit memepic to their autistic impotent rage over semantics is an impressive display of wit.

Funny story, I had an ethics of science class required to earn my Chemistry degree. The professor got pissed at everyone in the class, including myself, when we all decided that we weren't going to read 200 pages of Feyerabend and Ellul from marxists.org. Everyone (there were only 12 of us) got a 3.5 or a 4.0. Philosophy of science is a fucking joke.

Nature did a poll some time ago, which showed that less than 1% of hard sciences consider themselves far left. It's one of the few academic areas where the far right actually has a bigger presence.

Those DUMB people are the majority of STEM pseuds, you imbecile. That was the point. Most people who go into STEM, especially at the undergrad level are morons. The fact that you need you get upset and have an overreaction alluding to some reddit reference shows that you are a pseud. I'm a scientist myself, and I hate, absolutely HATE, most self-labeled "scientists", and hate the entire culture of science. I'd rather there be a decline in STEM fields because most people entering it are not cut out for it, and in fact worsen the quality of science as a whole and turn it into some giant pissing contest about consensus.
>>12283945
>hard sciences
>far left
Almost an irrelevant qualifier. Almost nobody is hard left to begin with.
The problem lies in neoliberal humanist dogma which pervades political thought from left, to centrist to center right beliefs, which conformity trumps almost all else. That's why most "scientists" subscribe to anthropogenic climate change.

>Most people who go into STEM, especially at the undergrad level are morons
Statistically both STEM majors within others majors as well as college graduates within the populace at large are above the mean group average for intelligence related metrics, so this is false barring appeals to semantics.
>The fact that you need you get upset and have an overreaction
I'm neither upset nor overreacting, but it's fun to see you desperately try to attach a label to me so you can further blurt out ad hominem instead of any proper arguments.
>I'm a scientist myself, and I hate, absolutely HATE, most self-labeled "scientists"
Absolute kek. Doubt those freshie calc homework and flat earth threads on /sci/ qualify you as scientist, big brain bubbaleh.

Perhaps said a bit harshly, but I do wish more people came across this sentiment. Technology largely does operate as a crutch, as much as people seem to gloss over it.
