100% of your reply is incorrect.
I don't believe this and what I gave was just an example--but an example that exemplifies my point. Namely, that a foundation in an area that requires careful manipulation and understanding of evidence to arrive at true conclusions is broadly useful in less rigorous and more broad contexts. I believe that--all other factors being equal--your average scientist in a mathematical field has a greater capacity to discern truth (and understand the relevant context) than people with a similar amount of education in other areas.
I think your statement needs more critical thinking too, because at no point did I mention proving all statements--in fact, good luck even figuring out how to state anything you might want to prove in a proof assistant; that's often harder than the proof itself. (It's actually even more limited--you can only prove propositions with computable proofs.)
In my decade of university education, I have never had a professor mention any personal political beliefs in a lecture and I attended schools far more liberal than UT. It's funny you qualify this with "liberal"--would you be more at ease with conservative professors pushing their ideology on students?
An understatement. Watch this video. Very revealing about the media and the actual data. Worth the time before YT jerks it.

Can you think of another overreaction?????
Unfortunately, with age does not necessarily come discernment. Some older folks spend their whole lives buying into the bullshit and some younger folks see through it to begin with. In fact, sometimes the longevity further solidifies the “big lies” in older folks’ heads. No one likes to admit that they’ve been tricked, especially if you’ve been tricked for a long time.
Unfortunately, nothing. My wife's family, and my family, all live here in ABQ, and we couldn't leave them. We love them too much. Plus, we wouldn't want our son to be raised away from his family. Now, if NM decides to make homeschooling illegal, we've considered moving to maybe TX or FL.
This is a fantasy, usually maintained by freshly-minted students who have limited interaction with other fields. Mathematicians (and computer scientists, etc.) do not enjoy a monopoly on critical thinking, nor does their training generalize in the way you claim. They're good at avoiding certain kinds of errors on certain kinds of objects. However, those are not the errors that proliferated during 2020.
I can't help but laugh at your belief that mathematicians are better at understanding/scrutinizing context than practitioners of your aforementioned "bullshit fields of study". When was the last time you checked if your data-generating process satisfies the iid assumption? Is that more or less time than the CAD/CAM engineer spends checking whether their model can be feasibly machined?
The vaccine has become a quasi religious experience. Completely devoid of meaning, these soulless husks find their life's purpose in becoming a lab rat. Just look at the crazy in those eyes.
