Engineering isn't a caste. It's a worldview, grand project, and social order. The association of engineering with producers is just an artifact of our current (dysfunctional) caste system. We need engineer priests, engineer warriors, and engineer producers.
Many creatives actually have engineering titles. Whatever the terms used there’s a useful difference between getting from 0 to 1 and 1 to 100. The former is something everyone can do. The latter revolves around specific scaling technologies. (Finance, code, etc...)

That's an interesting way of phrasing. There's a book by a startup founder called Zero to One that makes the opposite argument

I’ve read it. I think its point is that obsession with scaling and technology doesn’t actually allow for true innovation. There needs to be an element of “true” creativity.
