Apparently radicalization takes place across socioeconomic and education rates. ie. rich people and well-educated are as likely to radicalize as poor and ignorant.
But most do seem to be tech grads. I wonder if there is a difference in the radicalization rates of
science/technology
arts/philosophy
As always, a grotesquely misleading correlation/causation implication could be inferred from the results, but I am curious if there is any trend there.
The individual who dedicates himself to scientific pursuits generally seems more vulnerable. Potential psychologies include the failure to find meaning in the chosen pursuit, increased disconnectedness…. which I guess could be decreased connectedness…, a frustration that the real world does not operate on (calculable) predictable, causative factors, and an eventual "giving up" on the hope for any sort of satisfying life.
Course the vulnerable in the non-scientific camp would probably be a result of their financial difficulties.
Either way, it becomes easy and/or inevitable for us to eventually come to blame others for our dissonant, frustrating, humiliating existence, especially when we believe(d) we were entitled to and inevitably would be a recipient of, not only our own fair share of, but in fact the lion's share of,
social
success.
