First they came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up, because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.

K. This isn't your fault. It's the fault of politicians getting rid of classical (liberal arts) education. STEM is important, so are philosophy, logic, etc.

Itt, situational irony. So my statement was irony, expressing the situational irony on display.
