Actually, it's been around for awhile. His take on geeks is entirely appropriate.

Being an electrical engineer by training, I feel qualified to remark on some of Udolpho's comments. Basically, most geeks are loathesome people. They possess little (if any) awareness of the feelings of others and are mostly trapped in their little autistic world of online pwning, gadgetry, and movie line mimicry, just as Udolpho says. The only thing that protects them from others is the fact that society says they should be protected. Were we a society that saw little value in protecting the weak (well, we don't - just look at the millions of babies aborted), geeks would quickly be weeded out of the gene pool or forced into some sort of subservience of the local warlord who needs his weapons fixed.

Geeks were probably not always thus. In the past, you probably had to be more well-rounded. Weaklings were tolerated less. More of an emphasis was placed upon physical courage in our society. Now, however, geeks can go entire days basically without interacting with anyone. In line at Best Buy, they can sit on their stupid little iPhones browsing pages and commenting on some idiotic link they found. At work, getting them to go out to lunch for a beer is considered some major evolution, so it's fraught with high expectations and poor conversation.

Unsurprisingly, none of my close friends work in the tech industry. Most work blue collar jobs. Perhaps the blue collar workers, if there are any left after the Mexicans take all their jobs, will carry on middle class civilization. If you look at the voting patterns of the Republican party, it's mostly comprised of blue collar white males now. Democratic voters, of course, are nothing but a deadweight loss on society, and most geeks voted Obama.
