I am a nerd and I am proud of it.

A great man once said:

"My idea is to present an image to children that it is good to be intellectual, and not to care about the peer pressures to be anti-intellectual. I want every child to turn into a nerd - where that means someone who prefers studying and learning to competing for social dominance, which can unfortunately cause the downward spiral into social rejection."

You know what that means? That means that every time you use the word 'nerd' as a derogatory term, you undermine the opinion of GJS Himself and you do not deserve to be in this place. ZOMG.

your poor social skills led to this sage

I know. I also realized too late that caps lock adds much to a preacher tone.

GJS?

I think you should end your pathetic excuse of a life.

But read SICP first.

>>5

I'm too busy programming Enterprise softwares in C2009 to read your trashy novella

>>6
No, I am serious this time. Read SICP if you want to know who GJS is.

You can be this cool, too, if you read SICP.

Read some fucking Knuth and STFU

Knuth is for people who haven't achieved satori yet.

Knuth achieved satori with TeX, that's how he writes his books. But Satori programmers don't always need them; all of these algorithms exist in their minds at the same time.

When I thought my respect for GJS couldn't be higher, it got higher. Those are truly wise words. Think how much better the world would be if people studied science and engineering instead of living through their crappy, petty, insignificant lamb lives waiting for it to be friday so they can go out to some social shithole, get drunk and dance like monkeys. Instead of ch(sh)it-chatting with their neighbours, they'd be sharing Lisp modules for new programming styles and abstract machines they envisioned last week.

I fucking hate social monkeys, and I only talk to them if strictly necessary, i.e. to get a job, etc. I see society as a resource interchange network, not an end in itself like little insecure idiots do. It's sad how most people are so desperate for approval of others, to be "in", to be accepted, for which they do the stupidest shit. Society reduces its fools to the lowest common denominator.

so... you're a sociopath?

Wasn't Greece run by intellectuals?
They held onto their little islands for an impressively long time, but eventually lost to sociable heterosexuals who bred more soldiers.

This is the internet, 4chan and most of all: /prog/

Those words will help me reach SATORI, so I will rule this world of pityful Alpha-males (and i'll never, never get laid).

>>15
of course. but, you'll see:
a. it was a joke.
b. even anons seek acceptance among other anons, sure, they have no identity (except for these silly IDs), but they do seek acceptance, post by post.

>>12

That was the second craziest elitest rant I've heard all day.

The first was my flatmate talking about exterminating the lower classes in gas chambers.

ZOMG wtf is wrong with this thead.

>>19 lern2sage

>>13
Yes.

I was serious in >>12, by the way.

Nobody dared to reply me

Nice ID.

Enough of Geoscience Information Society.
