there are obviously exceptions, but being in my 4th year of a bachelors degree in applied mathematics and working in a biophysics laboratory myself, i can say that there's some truth to that.

but i think you can sum it up better by saying most STEMfags are just sadder and overworked versions of "normies." they generally lack an appreciation for creative intellectualism just like your 27-year-old customer service girl or 24-year-old male warehouse worker but have the esteem of a higher paycheck and a college degree (that, really does require a lot of work) to socially justify their ultimately sad and dogmatic way of thinking

but then again, all the best scientists and mathematicians are totally not like that. i've had a chance to meet a lot

I looked it up and apparently people who graduate with government loans will refinance it with a private bank, and that the bank sells these loans to investors. It's not fair though, because encouraging students with loans is supposed to create an educated workforce, and that's not what we're getting. There are some really stupid degrees out there, I would never have got a BA if I had to go into debt. I only used it to get into a practical (and lucrative) postgraduate diploma program anyway.

"Dying forever" is an ancient motif. Do you guys think that this is what happens to STEMlords? It is natural to assume that some are simply quantitatively and/or quantitatively not conscious enough to understand their own condition, never mind to transcend it. Even interpretations of the world where the human spirit is rather cut and dry and things are binary - like the major Christian denominations - allow room for error in any and all processes involving such dim entities.

Like what happens when Dawkins dies? An infinite scroll of paper being torn in half as its unraveling forever?
