1 Today's techies and nerd pundits rather remind me of logical positivists and Anglo-American analytic philosophers...

2 They too fancied themselves the Smartest Guys in the Room and after superficial readings of rich archives rolled up their shirtsleeves...

3 They declared themselves eager and able to circumvent or dismiss philosophical quandaries and topple moral/political Business As Usual...

4 They confidently declared themselves masters of topics they largely missed the point of, re-invented a lot of wheels to run around on...

5 They established lots of marginal fandoms devoted to official puzzle-solving and ignored everybody while everybody else ignored them...

6 Now our nerd pundits offer up reductive superficial pie-charted "explainers" as our techies breathlessly re-invent laissez-faire pieties.

7 Our nerds are so "smart" they think appliances are intelligent and our tech-talkers peddle "progress" while denying commonwealth.

8 Our anti-intellectual "Thought Leaders" are so uneducated they don't even know their facile errors are a stale re-run of earlier errors.

9 I know that nerds and geeks Rule now (at least the dim white reactionary reductionist ones) but nobody cares about logical positivists.

10 I don't expect people outside the clubhouse to care much for long for our innovative Thought Leaders "getting to the bottom of things."

11 Sure, the coterie of super-rich techies can do some damage with their market fundamentalist pieties but that's just because they're rich.

12 But the anti-historical sociopathic reductionist nerds and geeks are mostly just dumb, another American anti-intellectual boy's club.

13 By way of conclusion I'll add that I don't think geekdom had or has to play out in this cramped uncritical fashion http://t.co/1HvsNweAa0
