“because nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff. Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-canâ€™t-control-yourself love it. Hank, when people call people nerds, mostly what theyâ€™re saying is â€˜you like stuff.â€™ Which is just not a good insult at all. Like, â€˜you are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousnessâ€™.”
— John Green
