I'm more scared about highly competitive knowledge people with STEM degrees making political decisions. They might be naive enough to think they can engineer society to fit their whims with no unintended consequences.
- bastardoperator 5y agoIsn't that exactly what we have now, only people with less education? I don't think being a Lawyer, CEO, or Activist is any different when it comes to unintended consequences. I just look around and have to shake my head because the US Government is not comprised of the best people we have. They're all wealthy actors and most if not all get little to nothing accomplished except lining their own pockets.
