This is especially true in America, where everything that can be hated gets hated, but other countries are usually not much different, except for the clear distinction of α/β/γ/ω described by Graham.
I never cared of being popular, and always be apathetic, and never tried to socialize with classmates, but I was pretty popular (and that bothered me, I just wanted to be left alone till the end of the day, go back home and do what the fuck I wanted), surely not ω.
I didn't read it till the end, I stopped some paragraphs after ``if they're so smart, why can't they be popular? They don't want to be popular to begin with?'' and him whining about how miserable was his nerd life.
They are not smart, if they were, they would've know how to hide their powerlevel
and being cultured (which is very different than having high grades, here), and how to socialize with people. If they didn't care, they wouldn't whine about being unpopular. The so-called nerds just lack social skills, and they are aware of that, but they
still want to socialize, and completely fail at it.
Nerds should just grow some balls and confront reality. And if such a thing comes from me, your social skills must be completely fucked up.
