@PaniczGodek@functional.cafe I have a master’s degree in electrical engineering. I was a teaching assistant. I was literally a very junior member of faculty of a major public research university. There was utter disrespect for everything decent and good.
And my father-in-law was in medical biochemistry, not physics or mathematics. He fled from the University of Texas Medical Branch.

@PaniczGodek@functional.cafe Whenever the professors in my department came into contact with working engineers in the field, it was as if two different worlds had collided: one of actual working engineers, and one of monkeys trained to ask stupid questions and pretend they knew anything about electrical engineering. And this was at a top-notch state research university, Rutgers. At Harvard they were probably even stupider.
