If everything were already decided, set in stone, then the world would no longer need small-case thinkers and believers. The case of thinkers is obvious. As for believers, belief engenders hope, and in that dystopic Bob-World there is simply no room for hope. What in Bobese is Capital-T Thinkers are what normal people called "followers", which is the only people this Bob-World needs. Bobby himself is a Gold-star follower, so he considers himself a Thinker -- unfortunately he was made to follow wrong things.

Does it occur to our Thinker that Trump didn't just win by Electoral College? Twin Image's point is that money-making corporations should not be the fine weather friends of the cause

Bobby chances upon what really doomed Target without realizing it.

During an economic downturn (Thank you

According to CNBC (
archive), graduates of Philosophy, Nutrition Science, and Art History have surer employment prospects than their Computer Science peers.

I don't know why Nutrition Science doesn't slot in with STEM, perhaps it is too close to Medicine and Nursing, which are service industries too vulgar for STEM? Bobby should not feel complacent, however, as the unemployment rate of graduates in Commercial Art / Graphic Design -- his favored Creative Elites --
doubles the average unemployment rate across all disciplines.
