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.
