Bloomberg: 'Anybody [Can] Be a Farmer,' It Takes 'A Lot More Gray Matter' To Work In Tech

It’s no wonder he chose to skip the Iowa caucus, given that former NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg apparently thinks farmers and manufacturers all across America lack “gray matter."

In a clip just now circulating online, Bloomberg, while speaking at Oxford’s Said Business School back in 2016, explained that "anybody [can] be a farmer," but that it takes "a lot more gray matter" to "think and analyze" enough to work in the tech field.

“I could teach anybody – even people in this room, no offense intended – to be a farmer,” Bloomberg explained. “It's a process. You dig a hole, you put a seed in, you put dirt on top, add water, up comes the corn. You could learn that.”

Bloomberg then switched to insulting manufacturers and tradesmen.

"Then we had 300 years of the industrial society. You put the piece of metal in the lathe, you turn the crank in direction of an arrow, and you can have a job,” he said.

Having a job in information technology, he said, is “fundamentally different, because it’s built around replacing people with technology and the skill sets you need to learn are how to think and analyze and that is a whole degree level different, you need to have different skill set. You have to have a lot more gray matter.”

I think he sees it too simplyfied. There are always steps in every profession.

If you fold paperbags or make holes in iron pieces as a industry worker or you are doing poatatoe farming by hand then he is right. But this things is done today by machines. At least were I come from.

Even in programming you have different levels. I am shure I can teach everybody how to write a static HTML page by hand or how to make basic calculations in a excel document.

He is comparing apples with pears.

Even there are today no clear borders because you are doing always computers, programming, analyzing data, advanced materials in nearly all professions. Even as a modern shoemaker.

True, there will be always people in every group who are not able by their abilities to reach the next step. But this was always like this. You had always helpers, workers, specialists masters since the start of the world.
