    Many STEM grads are class traitors, we can’t act like academic institutions didn’t play a direct role in funnelling skilful students into military and private medsci employment while working diligently to instill as much punishment for empathy as possible into their programs.

      The worst thing about this treason, is that we hope someone can help us do better while we solve the cognitive dissonance by solving everything through techonlogy, even politics. And when we advance through life, we end up more conservative because we have debts for housing, a comfortable lifestyle and it is hard to give up.

        It really isn’t hard to give up, people are forced to all the time and do fine. As I said, STEM industries and their respective academic institutions attract and reward people who wouldn’t give it up. They’re already liberals by merit of tolerating the obvious immorality of that system, and so material luxury is particularly effective at disarming whatever middling resistance they may have.
