Go have kids, teach them what you want.

STEM minded folks need to eat their own dog food; your sensibilities are not divine mandate.

The other billions don’t owe deference to scientists any more than they do priests.

No scientist is a divine being. Their attitudes can be very human; they think their knowledge and skills is irreplaceable and the social system while trying to pretend that’s objective and could never be leveraged in typically corrupt human ways given their very human being.

In the end you’re one of billions bleating for others to follow the path you lay out. Where is the real or imagine social obligation to specifically serve you or any of the rest of the people here who make up a tiny fraction of the species?

Others think you should learn to grow your own food and kill your steaks rather than exploit the labor of others.

The free market of ideas is not just for selling widgets but tent pole social movements.
