Here's my response: nerds focus on long-term optimization whereas jocks focus on premature optimization (in computer science speak, think "Big O" values for 10,000n vs 2^n).
As a result, nerds are seen as low value at the present and subconsciously remind jocks that their maximum values are relatively low in the long term.
- scobar 13y agoThanks for the response. In a sense, nerds seem to focus on success within the adult society before they're even out of the high school society. Do they unconsciously plan that far ahead, or are they just serendipitously interested in gaining experience in areas that happen to be extremely helpful in the next society they're about to enter?
