I think this 'Engineer's disease' is just what society is now. Everyone thinks they know about everything, because they read something online/have access to google. Everyone is an expert. You have people arguing very strongly about things they know nothing about and sometimes if you actually know anything about it, it's painful to read just how bad some of the things people are saying, being a logical person, I try to point out what they are saying doesn't make sense, but it's wasted because that person just doubles down on whatever it is that they believe. The most powerful lesson from noticing this effect and the hardest thing to do, is not actually taking that step back and just not getting involved, it's also in realising that i'm likely doing that too, so it's better to try and step back and approach such comments with a more curious and open mind, rather than one of thinking i'm an expert.
