Если кто то из вас смотрел актуальные американские дебаты, он уже может быть увидел и услышал одного неокона. К этому политическому движению относится тоже президентский кандидат Мэк Кейн. Это люди, которые думают, что они лучше знают, что для других людей лучше чем эти люди сами . Неокон это неологизм, каторий состоит из "нео" (лат. новое) и "кон", что кароткая форма для "консервативный". А так вы узнаети неоконов: Как узнать неокона?

I have always claimed it: Studying engineering turns people into ideology blinded, technocratic, infantile and introverted zombies . Now Diego Gambetta , Professor of Sociology and Official Fellow at the Oxford University (UK) has detected a positive correlation between studying engineering and being member of ideologically motivated groups like Al-Qaeda . In my opinion the strong bias to ideologies results from the very formal, pedantic and rule driven (also one-sided?) way of thinking dominating the engineering activity . Of course the concrete claim is quite provoking: "Studying engineering turns you into a terrorist". But terrorism is just a peculiarity of pedantism which is in fact a psychological disorder. The main cause of pedantism is static, formal and rule-driven thinking. Just think about people like John Forbes Nash, Jr. who had schizophrenia. In fact schizophrenia and other mental diseases are quite common within engineers and mathematicians .

Many people admire explicit perception based on explicit and formal knowledge because arguments and facts based on this kind of knowledge are commonly known as hard facts. This kind of knowledge is based on the boolean algebra so that its truth value is fully determined by just two values: true and false (and "tertium non datur"). Therefore explicit knowledge have the nature of inviolability because a (apparently true) fact can be -- according to the theory of epistemology -- at least certainly disproven . The notion " fact " is also a typical term of the explicit knowledge set because it is the synonym for a true argument . In fact all engineering science is based on mathematics which bares the idea of formal knowledge resp. truth. Today engineering science is the leading force in economy and therefore also in the educational system. People are trained to admire explicit resp. formal knowledge already in schools and universities because this is the kind of kn...
