I wonder if Ide was more successful he'd be an ardent capitalist.  Telling us all to read Ayn Rand and going on about how "moochers" will bring us down.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Unlikely.

Also, compared to the collapsing society we live in, I'm Goddamned bourgeois.

I really don't get you people.  What is so terribly offensive about my hatred of the liberal arts as an institution?  STEM is not an infinite panacea; very well.  Do you guys really think the world needs more history majors?

Lenin went to Kazan University to study law.  :sleep:

I think communist revolutionaries are usually liberal arts majors going out and convincing the blue-collar proletariat to throw off their chains.  :P

I was a psychology major. It is also considered STEM. Low paid STEM but still STEM. :)

Nothing is offensive about your hatred. I fully support your STEM cult.

I assume more people would study STEM had they but the aptitude.  I don't think it's lack of promotion of STEM that's the problem.

Maybe, but at the same time, people who are studying things like Classics or Philosophy could likely be put on more useful courses.
