• Plus, hell hath no wrath like a nerd who stumbles into power.

    My reductive opinion is that nerds come in two main flavors. Ones that are upset that the world is unfair, and are empathically motivated to change it for the better.

    And then there’s ones like Benzos or Elon, the nerds who see the world as a totem poll. Totem poles where they have been placed below their true position in life. They don’t want to get rid of the totem pole, they want to make it bigger, and they want to be at the top, so they may punish those who got in their way.

      No amount of money can hide the void inside of them where they’ll never be the star athlete. Never get the girl. It’s all a sham. None of their relationships are deep, meaningful or “real”. They may show a vaneer of confidence on the outside but inside they’re rotting as they seethe.

      In a way it’s like, despite all the wealth and power, they still have nothing.

      I actually don’t put Zuck in this group because

      A. He’s a robot B. I actually think he’content despite being a douche

      Tl’dr: don’t be rich pls. Be happy with your small lives like I am.
