I don't. My main expertises are technology-ish (in statistics, to be specific). It's just that these people seem to divide the world between "Joe Six-Pack" and "computer geeks". That's close-minded.
- Leon 18y agoYet you deny that anyone can be as masterful at managing and making computer systems work together as a professional violinist, and then claim that 'these people' have bias against everyone else. You also falsely state anyone can become a sysadmin in 6 months, ignoring the fact that the best sysadmins are ones that started in their teens and have mastered their field, just like classical musicians! Are you sure you aren't the one with a bias? You are implying that art is somehow better than science and engineering! People can be good at something no matter what it is they are doing! They can hone a skill or perfect a craft or master a field of anything! At least realize your bias!
