I always make a point to sit with the engineers at the lunch table wherever I work. The conversations are wide-ranging and deep. Hardly narrow-minded. If anything, engineers tend to look for flaws, leading arts majors feeling hurt.
- smallcharleston 7y agoI met one engineer with a similar attitude. He would often make fun of me for not knowing things. However, he completely lost it when I pointed out he didn’t understand some basic concept in the same way he would have done to me. I’m hesitant to believe interpretations like yours based on my experiences with these people. I kind of view a lot of what I’ve seen engineers engage in (it might differ from your experiences) as a pointless intellectual pissing contest (on subjects the participants often lack depth of understanding on) with some level of group ego massaging.
- crimsonalucard 7y agoI'm an engineer and this his hugely true. I love intellectual pissing contests. If I lose a contest it's pretty hard to stay unbiased. I think I manage but to be biased is to not know about your own bias, so who knows?
