- seydor 4y agoThere must be one. Countries like america were making moves to attract nerds, by incorporating nerdiness in popular cultuyre. Usually nerdiness is invisible in most cultures, because cultures are dominated by the most extroverted people. Geeks are never 'chic' almost by definition, but they became economically very important for a period of time. Tech has been however stagnating in the post-iphone age , with social media and content dominating again. Now there is going to be another nerdy wave with AI, which is again bringing nerdy-looking people to the economic forefront. Most of the AI nerds are not the ones we see on podcasts currently, but we see their names in publications

- ergonaught 4y agoAre you well? I am criticizing the idea that "nerd culture" is a thing which exists. The presumption that an overgeneralized stereotype conveys some form of meaning. That there there is some monoculture common to "nerds" that can be said to be "dying". All of this is clear from my written words.
- barry-cotter 4y agoAh, do you hold the people who identity with and find meaning in “nerd culture” in contempt and are insulting them? Thank you for clarifying.
