Life Satisfaction: Nerds/Most People (via Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal)
Alex sent this to Eric and I today per a conversation we had last night. I agreed it was largely true (possibly the dip a little lower earlier on ie: grade school).
“Nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff. We don’t have to be like, ‘Oh, that purse is okay’, or like ‘Yeah, I like that band’s early stuff.’ Nerds are allowed to LOVE stuff. Like, jump up and down in your chair, can’t control yourself LOVE IT. Hank, when people call people nerds, mostly what they’re saying is ‘you like stuff.’ Which is just not a good insult at all. Like, ‘You are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness.’”
