Hmm. There are literally NO engineers in the top 20 mob-raising culture war feudal barons that I can think of. Not one. A couple of pure science types, but the rest are economists, psychologists, lit/culture type people. Either we're too dumb to raise armies or... we know better?

Venkatesh Rao @vgrIt’s curious that humanities/social science evangelists like to lecture technologists that “just because you can doesn’t mean you should,” but see no problem with cultivating online mobs just because they can. Something they’re admittedly far better at than techies.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 6 likesShow this thread
I almost counted Scott Adams as an engineer, but looking him up, though he was a programmer briefly before he was a cartoonist, his education is a BA in economics and an MBA, and he seems to have held more managerial roles than technical.
