- vectorjohn 11y agoSeriously? They will have no shortage of poor desperate stupid people to fight and die for an insane cause, but how many computer scientists, who could work anywhere in the world, want to go work for this insane organization?
- caskance 11y agoA lot. A simple google search for "engineer terrorist" without the quotes turns up plenty of references if you want to learn more.
- vectorjohn 11y agoA terrorist is different than ISIS. They're not the same thing, and I just don't buy that a lot of intelligent people are joining ISIS, although there could be good ideological reasons to be a terrorist (none that I agree with).
- e40 11y agoIs this a joke? The more educated someone is the less likely they'll become a terrorist.
- iofj 11y agoThere have been many studies refuting that. If anything it's the opposite : the poorer/uneducated someone is the less likely they are to become a terrorist, as there are far more poor than rich. e.g. http://www.economist.com/node/17730424 http://www.economist.com/node/17730424
