"Smartest Motherfucker In The Room Syndrome. Not exclusive to engineers, but prevalent in their ranks. Rote thinkers whose intelligence in one aspect of life lead them to conclude that they are right about everything regardless of whether they actually know anything about it. An outgrowth of Dunning-Kruger, that leaves them blind to their own inadequacies. Frequently egotistical without any real backing. Often exhibit behaviors consistent with being on the spectrum.*
Engineers (and others) suffering from SMITR tend to be rote thinkers who often struggle to deal with nuance and context, looking for absolute answers to things that are not well suited for absolutism. They frequently have trouble in social situations, as you have demonstrated to great effect. They lack the introspection necessary to understand their shortcomings, and therefore cannot process how poor their arguments are outside their field of expertise. They often lack emotional intelligence and struggle, as you have, to behave in a socially acceptable manner when their ideas are challenged.
You've provided no studies, provided no credentials that you are educated in the field of education, pointed to no actual data. What you have presented just an absolutist opinion based on your own personal feelings. But your rote thinking and limitations in parsing the world around you in anything bust absolute terms cause you to treat those feelings as absolute truths. Hell, you've bragged about being successful AND taking philosophy, meaning the only data you've actually provided, anecdotal though it may be, actually speaks against your conclusion.
What's funny is that you've decided to show your ass to the world while arguing that philosophy is useless, all while demonstrating exactly why it's not. Taking you at your word on your grades, I have no doubt that you were able to score well by memorizing the required information. That's not, however, all that philosophy has to teach you. You failed to learn anything deeper about looking inwards. And that's precisely the limitation that's causing you problems now. People don't like people who act like you. You're a comical stereotype, the sort of person who gives other engineers a bad name. In other words, you're exactly the sort of person that created the push for engineers to take philosophy and other humanities. You may be smart in your niche, but the fact that you've failed to do any introspection or approach the matter with even a scintilla of modesty or self-doubt, is a demonstration of your lack of intelligence elsewhere.
You are a wonderful representation of the reason that I ask people who behave like assholes whether they're engineers. It's a remarkably effective detection mechanism here."
Glad the rest of us live in the real world, where "some asswipe got butthurt" letting them overrule everyone else's rights to write and read what they want is a bad thing.
Yeah, shame on Mike and all the real experts with their first- hand deep knowledge on the subject for not bowing down to Tom T and his dunning-kruger delusions of adequacy.

Same projection that the squatter cartels were using against tech/rights groups around the EU copyright-corruption directive.
