Yes, very STEM oriented indeed.

Do you intend to post at least ONE comment in this thread that isn't sarcastic and deeply useless, or is your mind really set on being a troll here?

Seems correct though? "Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics". I guess medicine is a science. Political science might be engineering.

What's unique in this scenario (I'm from Serbia) is that these elected guys didn't form a political movement, they weren't actively involved.

What happened is that students created a list of 250 people and vetted them.

So far they did an absolutely amazing job. There are LOT of potentially malicious actors from academia but so far looks like they did a good job at excluding them.

So those 250 people (not all of them are academics, only like half or so, maybe less) were chosen by students and they accepted.

So far, the whole movement and those people from the list haven't made a single mistake; and that's why they got 53% in election. And not ordinary election, these ones were marked by almost complete media blackout and outright lies (e.g. media claiming students are beating women, to give you an idea of what kind of lies).

Anyway, of course, we'll see.

The biggest focus right now for pretty much everyone is putting people in handcuffs, and I don't imagine much of ideological differences on that topic.

It's a 74 day old troll account, so yes.

Politicians are lacking in EQ, not IQ. Higher IQs would make things slightly better while higher EQ leads to much better outcomes. Ideally, yeah, both are needed.

Most politicians are high EQ. They're also mostly power hungry sociopaths.

All the worst people I've dealt with in my career were high EQ. Many were extremely successful and did significant, lasting damage to their employers and coworkers. Some were even violent, yet somehow got away with it.
