12 MARCH - STEM niggas and talking about social problems

Every interaction with a stem inclined person (a person who devotes their time to studying and learning in an area of science engineering, and/or technology) can reveal the why and what they want to do with their knowledge and most times that they are pursuing a degree in the area. Wether they are a hobbyist, college student, or a "professional" in the salary world. Talking to them about a social problem or how an event is undergoing in the world can say wether they are going to be the reason why the problem and/or event is going to happen in the future in another location; Or, they not hip about the problem and/or the event. One more possibity is that they are the less common humans that are aware of the problems and the many perspectives of it too and how it affects other humans - in other terms you can and may actually conduct a meaningful conversation with them. This happened several times with the lovely people in UMBC NSBE.

This can apply to any person but in this case with the engineer (and other types of people sadly) they will tell you about how different complex systems work in other countries, how a bridge was built, and what it meant to other people and transportation; But, when you spit some about how cops are allowed to [90%] of the time abuse their status granted to them by the state to do whatever, or in general something that is a social issue that effects masses of people daily, they tend to become avoidant and cold to that topic. You can jus tell from their change of energy, facial expression and eyes - its always the eyes, when the convo switches from bridges to niggas all of the sudden they go ghost.

NOW NOW NOW the persons mind that is going blank maybe in a society where the state and people tolerate their existence and gives them access to resources to do live decently. I personally see the more privileged niggas be able to stay in stem and get a degree fr. You either got the resources like I said or rly got it out the gutter to get that degree in engineering, biology, physics, and more. I say, to the people who got those resources they most likely correlate to those people who paid for SAT classes, and other materials in the hundreds in order to get an advantage towards college admissions. The type of people that are going for those real hard degrees and other degrees in general had their life set up to that point with the resources necessary to get them where they got to; In other words, they got the adequate resources to succeed and stay on a linear path easier. They are really only focused on the American pie type shit and munyun and not shit that effects niggas. At least they care more about the money than niggas as a whole - which I can't blame but I am a biased soul. As well in the next paragraph a bit of the conditioning they go through in this society.

I stress that they had access to that, because there an uncountable amount of people who do not get that bread and set up early one because of where they were born, what they look like, or both in many ways. Having one type of people do not get access to the resources that can propel them to do smthn cause a disparity, imbalance and false sense of superiority in this society that is seen way too often. Which leads to seeing the stem fields and seeing many fields having the mentality, culture, and mindset it got.

If you living in a society with a significant disparity (economic inequality...shoulda said earlier), and you are on the other side of the disparity, the society isn't going to educate about the disparity, so they can keep it going, while putting out n education on everything else. From that education, you are going to grow up with a blind eye, or with a avoidance attitude toward a good number of social issues. You might adopt the same view that mass media will allow you to see if you don't dig in and/or try to dispel the propaganda yourself. If there are a million elements informing you about something, and they seem legit enough, while living in a situation where you don't got to worry about too much shit, you might end up to where you jus vibe in life instead of finding out intentionally how everything works. There are cases of people getting to know the other side of the color and class line, but it varies based on your individual path and perspective that you form in this world and where it leads you.

Back to the discipline itself - it requires so much of you. After studying stuff like this - https://salfordphysics.com/gsmcdonald/H-Tutorials/ordinary-differential-equations-homogfn.pdf - why you feel the need to reading about something else? You may be fatigued, accomplished, tired, among other words that may lead you to go on social media after a study session. Or something may have caught your eye in the library and you finally get to read some poetry written by Toni Morrison.

Most of the time you got the minds of people who know how to design, plan, understand and build complicated systems that can benefit thousands, but can't gather the reasons or critically think about out why the the users of public transportation are overwhemling people of African descent. The students that have that blind and/or foggy eye end up becoming a teacher, engineer, or corporate nigga who in charge of people's futures, and it is a bit disappointing knowing that these analytical minds can't boggle together why when you go to one area from another there may be a violent difference of class and color.

My Philosophy and inspiration trying to write dis:

DA POINTS

[why cant they use that brain power to figure out why the social problems exist]
[write about observations, and pose questions and focus more on the why rather than the answer]
[let the reader decide the answer, pose questions, write observations, make it so if someone wants to say your wrong they gots to write more words than u]

DA WHY

this post was inspired by a conversation with an engineer at a pizza shop one night, he told me to apply for an internship at *** and I told him dat shit mad competitive and there are more privileged niggas than me that be on dat shit filling it up and he was well blah blah blah, then kept saying apply...that trend matched how my otha stem ppls be when having a convo about slightly real shit

they was so quick to say apply after they found out I like that shit, they posed a question - why are people so quick to offer you a resource to find an internship or job if you have a skill in medicine or stem but not offer you a way to go deep into loving you passion? passion ova munyun?

An article I like that kinda relates the math and real world:
