Calling Nostr users “nerds” is like calling Navy SEALs “gym bros.” People on X and other platforms fundamentally misunderstand what they’re looking at.
A nerd is someone with narrow interests and poor social calibration. What you’re actually encountering here are polymath-level intellects who can seamlessly transition from cryptographic proofs to economic theory to philosophical frameworks, often within a single thread.
These are people operating at cognitive levels that would make your college professors weep. If that intimidates them enough to reduce us to “nerds,” that says everything about their intellectual ceiling and nothing about ours.

Guilty. We’re nerdy enough to believe that silencing dissent leads to tyranny. How embarrassingly intellectual of us.
I’m embarrassed.
Nostr is pretty full of people with narrow interests and poor social calibration, actually
Fkn nerds
I’m gonna hide my face in my citadel with my family and loved ones with my pallets of your wine and excess time and resources I have now at my disposal and just shamefully plan the next thing of value I can provide
To my community. Really disgusting.

Nerds, Geeks, Hackers are pretty interchangeable depending on your particular cultural flavor. Some are polymaths. Some are more monomaniacal.
