CMV: Everyone should major in STEM

No, science alone ends up giving a bunch of caveman equivalents a bunch of toys they will use to kill and destroy. Diplomacy and the arts are what help make sure the ones with the dangerous science end up not killing as many people. The arts fix quite a few things. We literally use them all the time to inspire people and create massive waves of change.

Oh and those of who are actual scientist and engineers get really sick of the world being like we know you can fix this problem. No, no we can’t always do that. We also need are smart enough to know that anything we do won’t be enough without those areas like art, economics, psychology and politics helping. All of those fields drive the outside factors we need and inspire us. Oh and they also help to make sure we keep our sanity.

Let’s take the Cuban Middle crisis- that’s the closest we ever got to almost wiping out billions. Even with a bunch of people not trained in non stem fields we still got that close once. It took the world’s best to keep Russia and the USA from nuking each other. A bunch of average joes would’ve without question failed.
