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.

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.
