      Interesting chart in light of the frequently-advanced argument that conservatives simply aren't fit for academia by virtue of their stupidity/incuriosity/lack of interest. The least skewed fields tend to be the most rigorous and challenging ones!https://twitter.com/toadmeister/status/1039553830231388161 …

      Jaw-dropping study of the extent of left-wing bias in top U.S. universities. Registered Democrats outnumber Republicans by ratios of 30:1, 33:1, 44:1 and 48:1 in Theater, Music, Sociology, and English, respectively. http://bit.ly/2oYwyxe  pic.twitter.com/9uWRa7lIog

      if we grant "left" in the contemporary church of academia and left in the rest of the world aren't the same thing I can say I know plenty of lefty engineers, but ... yeah. (anecdotally the smartest old-school Marxist I knew at my uni was a physics prof)

      really for a certain kind of STEM professional and a certain kind of old-school Marxism it actually makes sense there'd be a natural affinity, around some notion of faith in institutions' ability to engineer large-scale technological solutions to social problems

      The boomer gen ones, sure. The newer variety, not so much. They'd break into hives.

      seems to me the millenial commies are mostly just drawn the idea of Soviet communism but afraid to get concrete and STEMy-factual bc they must kind of sense it'd burst the dream-bubble. for older gen lefties the fact USSR didn't quite work as advertised can't be sanely avoided

      yeah, the basic issue is that engineering will fuck up your idea that things will work right if everybody just believes really hard at the same time

          feel like there's a kind of lefty that gets there via pure moral utopianism and a kind that gets there via instinctive sense that the neoliberal post-political world-on-autopilot is just another beautiful idea that doesn't work & they're talking past each other 99.9% of the time

          like, even in my reddest phases I'll still grant the idea the market will solve everything for the deserving and anyone still suffering must have brought it on themselves somehow is a *nice idea*. it's not *evil*. I resist it bc afaict it's another just-world delusion
