      Bold of you to assume there’s no socio- or psychopaths among nerds. Just look at the tech industry C-suite.

          My point was: There’s plenty of nerds who can be(come) just as corrupt or selfish as any politician. They also don’t necessarily work harder.

          I would like some more tech literacy in politics though.

        i talk about balancing books and you jump straight to psychopathy… shows where your mind is and how low your expectations are… i’ll bet you vote for Republicans who talk a bunch of shit and do nothing but steal…

          Dude, wtf, no? I’m not even American.

          I’ve just seen plenty of stories about nerds who seem like “good guys” only to see them turn out to be selfish assholes the moment they become successful and start making big money. Especially with tech start-ups.

          Although I gotta say, I’d love more nerds in office. The way most (boomer) politicians talk about technology is cringe and often completely without understanding.

          Was the personal attack necessary btw? Yeesh…
