One way to differentiate a real nerd from a phony nerd is their appreciation of stuff For example, someone may share an idea, or proof-of-concept, which illustrates something which is unusual A nerd will appreciate it for it's documentation and appreciation that someone has shared this finding A phony nerd will almost immediately, without hesitation, question the applicability of the thing being presented Dawg, not everything has to have a purpose. Sometimes things are fun. Sometimes it's cool to do shit, just do to do shit. Not everything has to be for profit, or progress, or whatever the fuck else. I've done so much useless stupid bullshit just because I thought it was interesting. I've seen nerds share weird ass notes on something they reversed on Windows that basically no one uses or gives a shit about, and I love it and appreciate it. You can just do things bro The unknown is cool and badass. Explore it If it's known and you wanna explore it, do it anyway so you can experience it yourself Just fuckin have fun idfk
