That's a pretty bold assertion on a site filled with engineers.
- Neeek 6y agoWhat, you've never met a stupid engineer?
- thaumasiotes 6y agoAsserting that the average engineer is stupider than the whole-population average is indeed pretty questionable. The odds that chrisseaton was correct are not good.
- Neeek 6y agoI believe the original assertion was that the word 'idiot' is often used as shorthand for people that have different priors and indoctrination as you, so to propose that engineers are somehow less susceptible to that seems like the more questionable take here.
