Potentially unpopular response: engineers! I respect the knowledge and intellect, and I do not respect the deficits in curiosity and emotional intelligence. The engineers I know (some of whom I love) tend to be experts on the things they do know, but they don’t know what they don’t know.
As an engineer, I can understand your sentiment. Unfortunately, it’s a field that attracts a lot of smart and socially awkward people. Those whose heads enjoy engineering challenges often lack self awareness, and it results in either being really awkward or being obnoxious, or both. The “good ones” are less loud, so you don’t hear from them as much.
As an engineer, I suppose I should be offended by this. But I realize that it is based on “emotions,” a type of internal sensory experience some humans have on a daily basis. This is not logical, and shall be disregarded. End statement.
