  • Okay, fella - take a few breaths and relax. People are products of their times. The better ones fight for virtues and values they see as better at the time. They see an opportunity others do not and rally people around those.

    Others they don’t see and continue wi5h those norms, or they see the wrongs but don’t believe they can rally people around fixing them.

    Do not demonize people in the past who do not meet current norms. There will never be anybody who will meet those standards.

    Judge them against the standards of their peers.

    What if MLK did not support feminists? Would he now be considered scum, thus negating everything good he ever did?

    Heck, i don’t know if he had a stance on women’s rights explicitly. Maybe he didn’t. Is he evil if he didn’t?





  • No. The proper term is GEEK. Needs are uncoordinated, awkward, have no fashion sense, and occasionally tape their broken glasses (or say sheepishly, “did I do that?”)

    Geeks have in-depth, we’ll researched knowledge on topics that are obscure to the “mundanes”, have intellectual curiosity, and sometimes gain in wealth as a result. In many cases, they tend to make non-geeks (and geeks for other topics) completely befuddled. This sometimes results in insecurity on the part of non-geeks, which negatively impacts their social lives. On rare occasions, such geeks are so over the top smart that they transcend such petty attitudes (see: Neil deGrasse Tyson)
