  • That actually doesn't give me confidence in the CPC. If the US government officials were STEM brains we'd be even further cooked than we are now. They are all Dunning-Kruger's when it comes to economics

      Economists have even worse Dunnig-Kruger when it comes to economists.

    • The problem with STEM brained people isn't the interest in science, but rather how they only look at science in terms of money or profit. They also dismiss anything outside of their chosen field because it all becomes a pissing contest. This isn't everyone in STEM, just a widespread attitude and a symptom of what created it, exploitative American capitalism.

      I don't know much about the Chinese education system, but it's better than ours in most things so I'm gonna guess it gives a more rounded education on science including ethical considerations and its history. Xi Jinping studied chemical engineering for instance and he's not someone I'd call a STEM brain.

      • In my experiences, Chinese tech bros are on average definitely significantly more well rounded in humanities and much more intelligent in non-math/tech fields than their Western counterparts. Much less ego and arrogance too

        This only applies to the ones that only studied in China and recently moved to US for work though, the Chinese ones I've met who did studied post secondary here and lived in America for 10+ years act way closer to your American tech bro
