humanities sociopaths who cross over into STEMland discover that real power exists and holy shit, it’s held by innocent types who have no idea what it’s worth and just _give_ it away to anyone who flatters them with the slightest interest

STEM sociopaths going the other way discover that real power vacuums exist and holy shit there are big, bold moves that can be engineered and holy shit, huge hack possibilities are obscured by innocent types who think the limit of action is talking and winning word games

No one in their right mind will cross a "premium mediocre" bridge once it has been labeled as such. V is a voice crying in the wilderness of trust.
