Since my article on Sunday titled “Why do civilizations collapse?” received quite a bit of attention, I wanted to continue the discussion.
Let me elaborate a bit more on the answer to the question, “Who is an engineer?”
An engineer is an expert who uses scientific and mathematical principles to develop data-driven solutions to practical problems, creates designs, and ensures those designs are brought to life.
They are the ones who think, design, measure, and shape.
An engineer is the one who reduces trigonometric equations to 1 or 0 and turns them into numerical form.
An engineer is the one who uses integrals, differentials, and derivatives to linearize non-linear equations.
They are the ones who simplify complex problems into their most basic form.
An engineer;
Is the person who takes hundreds of people inside a box they call an “airplane,” lifts them from an airport at point A to another airport ten thousand kilometers away at thirty thousand feet, and lands them safely with near-zero error.
An engineer is the one who opens a canal connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and carries a hundred-thousand-ton ship meters upward using the power of water.
An engineer is the one who keeps a shuttle sent into space moving there for years using the energy of its orbit.
An engineer is the one who generates energy from water.
An engineer is the one who makes robots perform surgical operations.
An engineer is the one who invented the electron microscope, which forms the basis of nanotechnology by magnifying objects millions of times.
An engineer is the one who brought artificial intelligence into our lives.
As you can see, the engineer is the primary catalyst for the development of civilization, especially with their discoveries and inventions over the last 300 years.
While countries like China, Germany, South Korea, Japan, and America—which do not deem minimum wage fit for their engineers—fill their coffers, other countries constantly run budget deficits, create trade balances that are against them rather than in their favor, and cannot escape poverty.
In short, if the value of the engineer decreases, the price of bread increases.
