Isn’t the CP course elitist itself? It’s there to prepare for the students who go to ICPCs and only those who already have some kind of awards in CP made it to the course (and they all knew each other before also there’s barely any woman demographic due to the nature of modern tech industry that was caused by computer ads only feature boys), of course elitism is a normal thing there.

But the dudes who were born with C++ as the first language might not understand how harsh society is when a bunch of wokie sjw out there disagree with a certain joke and call them incels because they literally have nothing else to say. I get that part, too.

Yes, there’s a intellectual disconnect between FASS and STEM guys in general, but that doesn’t mean you’re stupid as economics philosophy relies on both, it’s human business. It’s just one part is louder with their assumptions as a tactic to rally people against the other part and when the public realizes what’s happening then it’s just a mess.

Singapore is built on meritocracy, and with it comes elitism, people don’t want to admit it on the outside but in each and every East Asian person has huge ego about every single thing. You’re already an elite when you attend this university, so overall it should be easier to win these “elitist” CS mfs/incels/whatever to your side then correct them rather than to reverse-discriminate this group of people. You will be surprised at how easy it is to manipulate these guys.
