    People often complain about the humanities requirements for CS degrees, and now the world is run by tech executives who don’t have a clue.

      They do have a clue, what's missing is any sort of belief in the value of ethics.

        Ethics are irrelevant. They lack a believe in God and without God nothing but evil and chaos may exist.

          Surely if you're a Christian then you also think evil and chaos couldn't exist without a god? Seems odd to single out everything else.

              You are an ignorant moron. Not only do I love Muslims but I think the average Muslim is more Godly than the average Christian.

              Its not about what religion you are part of, but if you love God. So quit being a bigoted asshole.

              And Allah Akbar literally means God is Good you jerk. How could I be mad at that? Such a perverted soul. How could this world be so rotten and tribalistic?
