I’ve taken to calling this “engineer brain” but it certainly applies to more than just engineers. Math guys heard “the entire world is math” at some point and decided that since they know math that means they know everything.
As an engineer myself, we should force more engineers to take considerably more humanities classes. Absolutely embarrassing.
My oldest friend is a mechanical engineer, in highschool he had a “south will rise again” flag in his room. Now we’re both basically 40 and I’ve turned him into a socialist. The nice thing about the math minds is if they trust that you’re honest and the facts are on your side they’re probably going to come around eventually!

100%, he said unprompted one time that he might not directly argue or respond when I say lefty shit he disagrees with but lacks numbers on, but he does his own research when he hears it and usually finds the left perspective is right
