Difference Between Nerd and Geek
Has anyone written a scientific treatise on the differences between nerd and geek?
On the one hand, I could instigate endless debate about the finer points of nerds.
On the other hand I could construct nerds with a 3-D meat printer.
I’m a cishet white dude so I experience effectively zero discrimination directed at me, but I am on the spectrum.
I guess basically everyone I regularly interact with either is also on the spectrum or has intense interests regardless, or is used to people like that. Though TBF I have learned to not get intense if I’m in public talking to random strangers. But if someone asks me a question like, “how do computers work”, I will answer at great length.
