While watching the movie, there is a part, where he talks with some gender academic...

And while listening to him, I realized exactly why I lost interest in studying IT at an university. It's because there were teachers, who in fact aplied the same kind of "gender is a social construct" logic to computers.

And out of that came concepts where they were describing 20 different program classes in such an abstract terms, that I to this day have no idea what the programs they talksed about should be doing.

Too much cerebration, not enough focus on end results.

@amerika
I think, it's closer to religion then cerebration for them. They saw some feature or a marketing poster saying "this is the future of company planning", and they build their entire philosophy around it.

@LukeAlmighty

They make it a religion, for sure! I think they do this because it is the only reason they are important.

I think of the academic in "I am Charlotte Simmons" (Tom Wolfe) often.
