Writers are often idealists themselves. So what they see in the world and how they see it, they put on the screen. Then other people see that and that affects their behavior. It's a cycle. Anti-intellectualism was alive and well in every school in the United States in the 90s. The cool kids are not the nerdy kids. And the nerdy kids end up in engineering roles to be ruled over by the cliques of cool kids. Scientists are owned by their universities, again run by the cool kids in administration. The hierarchy of humanity is stupidity and egotism rules at least the masses and middle management. So I think that this guy is not reading the situation properly.
