What does this have to do with the article? How did you get so many upvotes? Are you that creepy guy who was banned for bringing up "casual sex" in every other

  He's trying to make a tenuous leap to suggest that engineers are smart, smart people are sexually repressed, and sexually repressed people are more likely to be violent. I understand what he's saying, but I don't buy it. Claiming that terrorists' grievances are based in deeply-rooted sexual problems is juvenile, and doesn't respect the gravity or history of the situation, IMHO.

    Especially as (e.g.) there doesn't seem to be any similar terroristic tendency among physicists, who are also very smart (anecdotally I'd say: slightly smarter on average) and smart in broadly similar ways. (Note: "on average" means just that; I know some very, very smart engineers.)
