Is it true that scientists/mathematicians

are more right wing or at least, more modern while humanities and social science tend to be left or far left?

>more modern
???

And in my experience, there was no lack of green-haired sjws in my math classes

ehh...most of the mathematicians and scientists I know tend to be pretty moderate or at least a little to the left

however, pretty much all the engineers I know are to the right..i wonder if thats because they tend to work in industry more

I'm an engineer and i'm a proud anarchist

No.

I'd say there's a higher percentage of right libertarians among STEMfags rather than "right-wingers" in general desu

in my experience engineers are largely libertarian, people who wish to create and be left alone to do what they want. They do not care about homosexuality, creed, race, gender, or whatever. Leave that out of our work place and let us sperg out about electronics.

Humanities people believe that their social prowess and understanding of """"humanity"""" warrants more controlling policy.

That engineer thing is true. My engineer roommate is the rightest leaning of all the four of us in my apartment. The only real like "SJW" I've met was either a physics or math major.

>They do not care about homosexuality, creed, race, gender, or whatever.

they say this but often it comes out in different ways

>Humanities people believe that their social prowess and understanding of """"humanity"""" warrants more controlling policy.

no

>no

expand upon this. Don't people from humanity, liberal arts, etc make claims about how socialism and restricting the freedom of people makes for a better society more so than other studies?

>they say this but often it comes out in different ways
My engie friend does this all the time. I recently asked if he "would love his gay son" jokingly, and he gave me the most sour look.

"stemfags"

sorry you failed basic math, you should try again its not that hard?

now everyone with intelligence is liberal to a greater or lesser extent. Some will put this forward as evidence that liberalism is simply better thought out than conservatism. I believe this overlooks the fact that IQ notwithstanding humanity overall is extremely susceptible to cultural influence and the culture of today is certainly one of liberalism and certainly this is the case in any institutions of repute, namely universities.

>not understanding the -fag suffix

Yeah in your post-modern shitty society that you accept to be real

You see, you're viewing the world as "black and white" and assume that people have to be categorized and then herded into different schools of thought, and not only that but math, art, science, philosophy, literature, arent related at all.

True geniuses and enlighteners hold no political allegiance, nor do they conform themselves to one style or school. They will try to amass knowledge from every school of thought to prod the world into a higher level of thinking, not hold them back and confine their creativity and dissuade them from thinking for themselves.

Look at all of the periods of human enlightenment, especially the Renaissance...scientists, writers, mathemeticians all worked together to create a new world that was beyond "left or rightt". Same with the golden age of greece, city of Alexandria, etc.

In other words stop confining yourself to one area of knowledge, not according to your political faction which no one fucking cares about

This holds no merit logically, not everyone with intelligence is a liberal. And an intelligent person is far less likely to be influenced by society, which is one of liberalism.

>socialism
>restricting the freedom of the people indefinitely

On a related note, does anyone else notice that leftists tend to actually read extensively while lolbertarians and the like hardly read at all (save for like, Adam Smith, maybe)? Seriously, just compare /pol/ to /leftypol/.

>true geniuses and enlighteners hold no political allegiances
>they were all left wing progressives
your phoney enlightenment is proportional to your complete lack of self awareness.

I'm a humanities major and I'm right-wing for the most part. I don't anyone could inscribe himself into right-wing or left-wing in their totalities, without having a few disagreements with the general thought, but on average I'm closer to right-wing.

>Same with the golden age of greece, city of Alexandria, etc.
So you think Plato was not right-wing?
And what about the city of Alexandria, wasn't the Ptolemaic Empire very much right wing?

They were different because they definied politics from a moral standpoint, what it means to be just, etc. Not sure if you could even label factions 3000 years ago as right or left wing. But they understood that somewhere between the right and the left is the truth, which is what they were after.

How do you know? And how can you group people and generalize that eazily?

>Don't people from humanity, liberal arts, etc make claims about how socialism and restricting the freedom of people makes for a better society more so than other studies?

no

Its just from my personal experience.

No, my very point is that intelligence does not correlate precisely with free-thought. There are many many free-thinking idiots. But in general people are ovine and will adopt beliefs that fit with their cultural milieu. white-collar workers aren't liberal because they are intelligent, they are liberal because universities and offices are pc havens.

all the right wing people I have met have been doing arts
I'm also right wing and doing arts

Yes, that's factually correct according to statistics.

But what humanists is stupid enough to admit their conservative and ruin their career?

>On a related note, does anybody else notice leftists tend to live in their utopian fantasy while lolbertarians and the like live in the real world?

This is basically the same questions Western European Communists have asked themselves since forever "Why don't the poor working class support us? they vote for Fascists and Classists!"
