I don't see STS as necessarily evil. A lot of focused people are by nature STS, not because they are evil or going out to get someone. Some could have been brought up that way, strict parents with good backgrounds expecting the best of their child and posing a lot of pressure for the best. I mean look at how Russian schools were, removing children from their homes and placing them under government's watchful eye so they could be solid scientists, mathematicians, artists, etc.
Look at Wall Street, a lot of those people go through their whole lives being extremely competitive to get ahead in life and make "something" of themselves.
They don't just overnight decide " I'm going to be evil when I grow up", it's more a mentality of " I will be the best!". By doing so they are serving themselves but they are also serving those below them all the way down to the person that cleans the offices.
STS are the movers and shakers that make decisions that employ millions or enslave, depending on your context of work. As much as some may be doing their best to put their own needs first, they still have others above them making decisions as well.
So I would think rather than saying "oh I don't want to be STS, that's bad", you should think rather in ways STS and STO really are working together to move a form/working to create something. Take a look once in a while at what STS decisions you make on a daily basis, you would be surprised to see how much we do ourselves to facilitate our lives. Just as people can have their inventions perversed, there are those that find good uses for the same inventions. Internet being one good example.
