Obsession with STEM? (self.TheBluePill)

Mushroom_God が 投稿

I did my masters degree in mathematics, and I teach now, so I'm in that segment of the population that is more biased than most to see the sciences and mathematics as a force for good. But why the tunnel vision with terpers?

Is this tied in to the mindset that conceives of the lack of sex as an engineering problem, one can that can be overcome if only we think hard enough; if only we collectively approach it as an experiment and log our findings in the Great Laboratory Handbook we call the manosphere? While I much value the concept of conjecture and criticism as the driving force behind science, I think we can all agree that there isn't very much of the latter going on in TRP circles. The leaders do conjecture certain propositions (such as "AF/BB" which, despite it's crudeness, is in fact a falsifiable proposition about the behaviour of a subset of the population, which makes it a good proposition, logically at least). But the step of criticism seems to have been replaced by nothing but loud, rapturous agreement and applause. This could more accurately be described as conjecture and congratulation.

I teach maths to pay my rent, and even I can acknowledge the immeasurable value in music, art, literature, politics, philosophy, economics, and history. And yet an entire community agrees upon the notion that these subjects are somehow lesser than their scientific counterparts. Does anyone care to explain this?

(By the way, to the TRP leadership that says "STEM is hard" — I can confirm that it's not hard; it's just that you're not alpha enough.)

My guess (and this is purely a guess) is that a lot of these people feel most comfortable with anything that has a clear-cut right or wrong answer rather than stuff like the humanities where you tend to deal with things that can be more nebulous and not necessarily right or wrong. Things like math problems have one clear answer, questions of philosophy or art criticism does not and that seems to unnerve some people.

I also feel like there's a tendency in our society to stereotype things like math, science and anything logical as "masculine" and things like music, literature, art, etc. as emotional and more feminine (which also tends to mean it's devalued). And by extension TRPers see anything masculine as automatically good/right, anything feminine as bad/wrong.

But that's just my feeemale take on it.

Simple - there is a large gap between men and women in STEM subjects, skewed toward men, unlike most other academic subjects- which have a slight skew toward women (or girls, in case of basic education).

So you'd often see terpers whine and complain about how the education system is "feminized" (how else would you explain the fact girls tend to be more successful in shcool than boys??? SYSTEM BIAS which clearly doesn't exist when there's a skew for men) and the other subjects are also "feminine" and therefore "unnecessary" - if women are good at something, it's not important or worth caring about.

It's just another hivemind mass revenge fantasy. Somewhere along the way "STEM majors generally have good job prospects" snowballed into "STEM majors are the only worthwhile majors." And of course then you get the narrative that women reject them in college because they're nerdy and are too busy studying to party, but they'll get to reject those same women when they're bajillionaire engineering tycoons.

I thought a lot of them think that in many cases stem is for betas who won't get laid til 30, and alphas should be in business school? At any rate, liking stem, and disliking anything outside of it isn't something unique to trp. They're obsessed with status, and think that's where the money is. But also think more than most that anything outside of those is suspect. People in general tend to mistrust soft sciences that they see as having any slant but their own. And just about every slant isn't that of trp. Since something like science at least in theory is value-less, they don't see it as something to be opposed to.

You should put this into Cosmopolitan Magazine form so the females of this subreddit can read it.

You see STEM is the superior one truth of the world, females are incapable of understanding and only suck Alpha Male Phalluses to get into the field.

Once they are in, they use the scientific method to help them divorce men and 80/20 mathematics to help them find Alphas.
