i thing it's important to distinguish between social rejects who obsess about anime and computers with the high IQ doods who were building computers in their garages in the 70s, when you had to be a legit engineer with strong math skills to do it

like we're basically conflating steve wozniak with your local HS dropout who plays call of duty but failed algebra

computers have diverged into two different subcultures: one for high IQ types (legit hackers who invent new algorithms and shit) and one for everyone else (low-level enthusiasts, know about video games and hang out on Reddit)

probably a good way to do this is to have different words, say nerds are one and geeks are another

there's a link ITT that goes to a forum where a guy is lumping geeks, nerds, and goons as the same subculture, but aren't goons like 4channers or something? wtf does that have to do with intelligence, scholarship, etc. Any concept that lumps those groups together is a useless concept.

IME, high IQ doesn't seem to correlate with nerdiness. It does correlate with being good at other things (music, sports, being popular, being good with women, etc.), though.

agreed, to me, high iq is correlated with an interest in studying new things, but the people we're talking about ITT aren't interested in studying new things to understand them - they just want to know more about Star Trek or whatever
