Went to a "Nerd Nite" recently... Overall had a pretty good time, but it was an illuminating experience to see first-hand how what was, say 10 years ago, a relatively apolitical "nerd" culture has now leaned pretty hard into the "woke."
I don't necessarily have a problem existing in that space any more than the generally "anti-woke" sentiment of Nostr and the Bitcoin in the 2020's, but both can get real cringe when you're in a room with everyone clapping.
There's something lost, for sure, by the fissure of these communities... Bitcoiners used to be nerdy weirdos, now it seems you have to get Swole and Make Babies to be taken seriously.
