“For the engineer’s day”, the second part of the note, continued from above
I have strongly come to believe that engineers are mentally a step more evolved than soldiers. Just one step. The (regular) mind of a military man deals with the analysis of his surrounding problems, mainly linear, and in solving the equations, he generally deals with the examination of limited parameters and variables. Something should happen for some reason, or something should not happen for some reason. For some reason, one should attack and for some reason, cease fire. The minds of engineers are stronger in analyzing quantitative problems and the ability to manage “more parameters”, take integrals, solve differential equations of higher order, take derivatives, etc. has the But it is sterile from a comprehensive analysis of affairs and issues. Even when he believes that the number of variables he has adopted is not enough, he still tries not to increase the variables because the existing mathematical frameworks do not allow solving the equation with more variables. Therefore, it is normal for engineers to be reluctant to social issues. or cultural Or any field that has many parameters.
Engineers get used to thinking abstractly.
Engineers are used to analyzing a subject deeply and accurately, unrelated and separate from its connection with other subjects.
Engineers get used to engineering confidence. Self-confidence due to the power of mathematical analysis.
Engineers get used to thinking that because their analysis of a subject is based on strong mathematics, therefore they have discovered all the causes of events and behaviors. Even though they know that they have analyzed the issue separately.
Engineers get used to quantitative thinking, numerical thinking. One kilometer of railway track was installed today and five hundred meters yesterday. number and digit
Engineers get used to thinking that they have the ability to solve all questions and if a problem or question has not been solved yet, it is because it has not been entrusted to them.
The story becomes terrifying when an engineering thought has published several articles in prestigious journals. You must be sure that this mind is confident in analyzing a subject. And don’t hesitate for a moment to just see the story.
The biggest and most annoying thing in engineering thinking and engineering minds is the reluctance to any field other than the field in which they are mentally engaged. The party works in the field of “steel structure”, a concrete bridge has collapsed somewhere, a hundred people have been killed, he has no desire or interest in following the news because his field of work is not “concrete” but steel. The party works in the gas field, and has no interest in the news of the electricity and steel fields. If you ever saw an engineer who was interested in history, got drunk on music, knew different perfumes, sang romantic ghazals in the heart of beautiful nature, had a hand in painting, and also looked at the fields of architecture and literature publishing, know that other engineers His classmates probably dislike him. Sometimes such a creature is even disgusting for engineers.
The exquisite souls of engineering, who passed away this year, engineer Moin Far, engineer Bahman Haghigi, or a little earlier, engineer Qalibafian or the likes of Fazlur Rahman Khan, these were not like that.
Minds that were strong, but beautiful.
Beautiful minds
May the day of these, the people of this tribe, be blessed.

Footnote: The great pain here is that among people who are used to talking in general, talking half-heartedly, analyzing “like Hassan Abbasi” in any field in which they have no knowledge, it is more possible to tolerate the behavior of engineers (in the context of the third group). It is because they are used to speak precisely in a specific area.
