      I feel like there are two versions of nerds

      1. The version that internalizes the stories, realizes the value of empathy and sympathy and the destructive power of authoritarian control

      2. The version that sees a fake universe but they have to win in it no matter what because “winning” is all that matter because their dad told them that they wouldn’t get the trust fund otherwise and so that universe doesn’t really matter as long as they’re winning
