waltrub

have I told you about

how nerds destroy the world

take conspicuous consumption as a lifestyle choice and combine it with early hardware adoption

and you have great swaths of gadgetry out of stock because they're incrementally better than the last model

then there are landfills full of functioning electronics

wasted time, resources, money, etc.

the best part is that these things were never necessary

it has never mattered how thin a computer is

there's a special king of nerd though

who thinks computers will overtake mankind in thirty years, changing humanity in ways incomprehensible to us now

ignoring the third of the world without electricity

so the singularity is the nerd way of saying that,

in the future, being rich and white will be even more awesome.

it's flying car stupidity:

surely the world will conform to our speculative fiction, surely we're the ones who will get to live in the future

it gives spiritual significance to technology developed

primarily

for

entertainment

or

warfare

and gives nerds something to obsess over

that isn't the crushing vacuousness of their lives

it doesn't matter what you obsess over

nerds just gotta obsess about something

so you can research alternate energy

or, more likely, beat a video game very quickly or draw a cartoon.

it's okay though, there are people on the internet that will tell you you're doing a great job

and since people say you're doing great it's gotta be just as good as other things people say are great, right?

nerds to not redefine adulthood,

they

waste

it.

I am not telling a joke. you are terrible.
