That if you were an intelligent person, you could in the past be a doctor or a lawyer and also a philosopher. But nowadays, all the intelligent people working for Amazon and Google think they have philosophizing opinions.
But unlike past professional disciplines, computer science, I.T. and STEM stuff is actually so removed from society, that these people have nothing really valuable to add to the daily conversation in society at all. So instead, they engage in the massive production of one-dimensional "hot take" content, broadly called "Irony" or "weird Internet." This provides the facade of meaning to their otherwise obviously finance and prestige driven lives.

- SZJX 8y agoGeneralizing to a whole group is just dumb. Not everybody who works for a big company is the same not to mention the myriad of people who tend to not want to work for Amazon and Google etc.
