So I'm not going to prattle on about who I am in some 'sell myself' drawl
. Instead, I'll leave you with a thought. Why are we nerds?
It's a question we have about a billion answers for, none of them wrong or technically right.
Are we just the people who slip through the siv? The one's that don't fit with this cognitive criteria of what it is to be normal?
Is it even our fault? Do we purposely outcasts ourselves?
Here's what I think, and you can think on it yourself
-Normal is just the majority. A shared collective, an ideal to which some people choose to aspire.
It's the reason people still feign shock when a S-- scandal appears in the news, but are secretly allured by it.
The reason why so many people snap becuase they have to hide fundamental aspects of themselves from the public eye for fear of ridicule and unacceptance.
Yet those that pretend to be normal scald others for slipping up, even if it's something they yearn to do themselves.
This shared ideal, this collective of social paragon, literally cast's people out for thier deviation. Throw's parts of it's collective away...
So being a nerd is, for whatever reason (too much spare time/coffee/infettered imagination
) a slip. A fall from a path the human majoraty see to be the aspirant of behavioural majesty.We slipped through the siv that retains those who bow thier heads to convention, and we fall unknowingly into a niche group of people, standardised and categorised by our brethren who clearly know better.
Nerds, for me, are those that hate that majority. That defy convention, the world of politics, power struggles and wars by not even entertaining thier existance, laughing at thier idealism of cancerous self decimation.
A nerd turns thoughts to everything but normality, to fiction, to fun, to tangents and thought patterns. We, by definition, mastered our own infinity. Normal WISHES it was us
