I've seen a lot of the counter balance to this which is STEM folk not having respect for the humanities, rendering them empathetically underdeveloped.
Yeah the whole "STEM" thing is dumb and anti-science. This corny meme implies that philosophy majors become flat-earthers, etc. It's a great example of the reactionary STEM mindset.
STEM is just another educational grift.

I'm not even sure what you are trying to say here, science and empathy are 2 very different things. This is a very oversimplified version, but science should only be about answering if assumptions we have are true or false, based on enough evidence.

Well the new world order is what the people in power want, but they only need smartphones and tv to do it. No chips in the brain needed, people are idiots.

Not only there, it's a world wide phenomenon. I keep hearing this kind of shit from people here in Germany and my family in Brazil.
Same here in Belgium

Academia is completely captured by capitalism. That's why "scientists" can't/won't/don't go after their masters. How can people oppose genocide when they're working to build the weapons of genocide? And a society that accepts genocide will accept anything.

I was one of those people in college, the only reason I even graduated was because I found tutors to get me through my required math and science credits. I'm smart enough to know that there are many things I don't understand so I listen to who do understand them to not do that is like going to a lawyer and explaining the practice of law or to a mechanic and telling them how to fix your car.
