This is the mindset of terminally STEM-brained people. I had to unlearn so much of that "this is very interesting problem when seen in isolation, i don't need to think about anything else" after leaving engineering school.

One time we had a guest lecturer come in who'd done a lot of work for the US Navy and NATO

Somebody asked about the ethics of building weapons for the US and he said "Well, the way I see it there are bad guys out in the world, and we have to protect the innocent people from them." I probably turned 30% communister that day

"Well, the way I see it there are bad guys out in the world, and we have to protect the innocent people from them.

How kind of him to design the weapons we will use to get rid of capitalists.

I had a group project and the engineer in our group said: "Without the slur users the system would be working perfectly!"

Did I mention it was a project for human machine interfaces and we were also graded on user friendlyness?

I genuinely consider studying CS and being entrenched in the culture and ideological framework that comes with it harmful brain development
