I Love Geeks

The more geekery comes to dominate popular culture, the more I come to the conclusion that there are a lot of geeks out there who are pretty reprehensible people. I just haven't figured out whether they're reprehensible because they're geeks, or geeks because they're reprehensible, or just how much overlap there really is on the Venn diagram between "geeks" and "reprehensibles."

I don’t think there’s any correlation. There are plenty of reprehensible people who are not geeks at all.

@SmartKat So am I noticing it just because the geeks are my tribe, then? That may be part of it, but I don't think it's all.

@DunningKruger people are more likely to become creeps when they're rejected by society, and geeks were until recently and still are by many. That's probably the only correlation.
