I'll explain it to you in simple terms.
Imagine going to uni. You pick math because that's your passion. You stave away for four hard years, do everything in your power to end up with a high GPA, and after you graduate you see that there are next to career options available. You could go the traditional route for your major, teaching, but you view teaching high schooler's as beneath you. A consequence of your education is that it has left you with a narcissistic superiority complex. So you go to your only option, graduate school. The end result is more debt and still no career opportunities. But this makes no sense to you. Surely you are intelligent. You majored in math after all. But despite your hard work, despite the years spent on your studies you find your career opportunities to be next to none. The agony, the soul crushing despair begins to weigh you down.
Then you remember Steve. A computer science major. Maybe CS was his passion, maybe it wasn't, but he chose it for financial security. You mocked him for this. You'd laugh at him telling him a math major could do everything he could, in your mind you where superior and he needed to know it. Yet he would just laugh, smile and wish you luck. After graduation, he got a good paying job. He didn't need to worry about grad school, he didn't need to worry about debt piling up, all he needed was his bachelor's degree. Despite your PhD, despite how in your narcissistic brain you should be superior you've come to find out that he leads a far more rewarding career then you ever could.
And this makes you seethe. Oh does it make you seethe. You rage with pure envy as you rave about how superior you are. You refuse to accept reality so in order to cope you begin taunting him and attacking his field in a fit of rage. Your attacks are unsubstantiated but it matters not, they're real in your mind and that's all that matter.
And this is how /sci/ came to be.
Enjoy your stay OP.
