Comment on What hot af take do you have that you think you will be HORRIBLY executed and shunned from society for?

  digital technology using binary to binary thinking, and learning computer science has the exact opposite effect. It teaches you to be analytical and break down problems into workable solutions, approach things from multiple perspectives, searching for the most elegant solution

  People I’ve met or talked to online who are in cs tend to think/argue very linearly and in a utilitarian fashion. Which is great for solving issues where you know exactly what the problem is or have a direct goal, but if applied to social problems can be very destructive.

  Not to mention open source and the hacker philosophy, both antiethical to fascism.

  Also a minority of people working in tech.

  People who study CS are usually strongly on the left. Techbros went to business school, not tech school.

  Maybe in your country? In the US CS is pretty well known for being pretty full of centerist/ right wing sexist.

    I’m in the US and all my friends in tech are socialists champing at the bit for a well organized general strike.

    Maybe it’s because I live in a city?
