    Chinese tech bros are on average definitely significantly more well rounded in humanities

    Half my classmates in engineering school were Chinese nationals, this isn’t true at all.

      So my experiences is a pretty extreme end of the spectrum of tech bros. I’m comparing against largely MIT/Stanford/Berkeley/CMU tech lords grinding their ass off to climb the corporate ladder in big tech

      I compare the talks about politics at work between the Chinese group chats and the English group chats and the Chinese people definitely have a much better understanding of what’s going on. The English group chat discussions is literally indistinguishable from r/worldnews level of intelligence

      And to be clear, I’m not saying they’re very well rounded, just more so than the low bar for American tech bros lol
