I skimmed it.
He should address the self-fullfilling nature of being a nerd. While it is true that if you are smart you are less likely to care about popularity it is also true that if you are smart you are more likely to do things that make you unpopular. Some people turn to books because they are shunned rather than being shunned because they liked book.
In the instance of having brains I don't think that being labled a nerd is your only fate.
In the case of social ineptness, however, you will be a nerd regardless of what you do. Emotional Intellegence, or lack there of, means more in the long run than IQ. If, however, you have both, than you are very likely to be smart and not be labled a nerd.Comment

tl:dr- mawkish crap from someone who has failed to grasp that a high intelligence does not necessarily equate to adequate social skills.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil FinlandComment

Asher, I bet that this can turn you into a nerd
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Turns out he's a programmer for some ****ty MacOS X apps. I called that.Originally posted by Asher View Post
When you stop writing bookshelf management systems for emo kids on OS X and start writing billion-dollar trading systems, slightly more emphasis is paid to testing."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Yeah, at first glance it sounds silly, but he do actually have some reason, though it comes later - demands a good lump of nerdyness

Sure he is some Mac programmer, places him a notch over MS programmers.Originally posted by Asher View Post
He actualy do put emphasis on testing - just seems to put different methods on frontend/backend systems.
Hope it's nerdy enough for the thread

The "nerds" the article refers to want to be smart in ways that don't involve other people- and that's their problem. Cultivating effective human relationships requires smarts too- just a different type of smarts.

Nerds would be more popular if they used deodorant and ceased wearing khaki slacks with a tucked in t-shirt.Comment
