I'm not sure if I should be laughing or crying. Probably both.

Materially, they were often launched into the upper middle class or even outright capitalists, that immediately gives them a bias. Add to that a disdain for social sciences and the humanities as subjects, that is unfortunately often found in STEM fields. On top of that, many are really addicted to the consumer cycle with gadgets and idolise the "geniuses" that "create" them, unlike proper nerds that won't trust this generation of tech nearly as much and much rather create and tinker with stuff themselves.
