Every #authoritarian regime needs three things: a #flag a “moral” #language and an #enemy #jesus vs #christian #nationalism

#Christianity didn’t conquer empires. #Empires skinned it and wore it.

Hear me out … Don’t. 😂

🎬 Revenge of the Nerds — A Friendly ( biased AF but kinda Honest ) Modern #philosophy ⸻ THE PLOT (IN TODAY’S LANGUAGE) A group of socially awkward, underestimated outsiders get humiliated by the cool, dominant group. Instead of: • learning confidence • building mutual respect • or changing the system They: • optimize • out-engineer • out-scale And then win. Cue applause. 🎉 In #1984 this felt like #justice In #2025 it reads like a case #study ⸻ WHAT THE MOVIE THOUGHT IT WAS SAYING “Brains beat brawn.” “Intelligence wins in the end.” “The underdog deserves revenge.” Very wholesome on paper. This is the version people remember. * ⸻ WHAT IT ACTUALLY TAUGHT (ACCIDENTALLY) 1️⃣ #Humiliation Justifies Anything If you’re bullied long enough, anything you do back feels earned. This logic aged… poorly. Modern version: • “They deserved it.” • “We were ignored first.” • “They had power, so it doesn’t count when we use it.” ⸻ 2️⃣ #Optimization Beats Empathy The nerds don’t reform the system — they hack it. • #surveillance • #manipulation • #technical #exploits • #social #engineering Modern parallel: • growth hacking • engagement manipulation • algorithm gaming • “move fast and break things” Sound familiar? Maybe 🤔 ⸻ 3️⃣ #Power Changes the Nerds This is the quiet twist people miss. Once the #nerds win, they don’t become #kinder. They become the new #dominant group. The movie treats that as #victory The internet later said: “Hold my beer.” 🍺 bitte. ⸻ WHY IT MAPS PERFECTLY TO MODERN CULTURE 🧠 #Tech Culture • socially marginalized → technically dominant • merit defined as output, not ethics • success = proof you were right all along 🌐 #Internet Culture • #anonymity removes accountability • #cleverness replaces kindness • “I’m right” becomes “I’m allowed” 🧪 #Startup / Platform Culture • #disruption framed as moral good • #consequences outsourced • #apology optional if growth is high ( FAX 📠) Revenge of the Nerds is the origin myth of ‘we won, therefore we’re good.’ ⸻ THE REAL JOKE (THE FUN PART) The real revenge of the nerds wasn’t against jocks. It was against: • social norms • embodied wisdom • emotional intelligence • restraint They didn’t want a seat at the table. They wanted to replace the table with a spreadsheet. And somehow… we let them. 😅 #dorks ⸻ THE MODERN PUNCHLINE Revenge stories feel good. Reform stories are harder. The movie ends before the nerds have to answer the question: “Okay cool — now what kind of adults are you?” Modern culture is still answering that. ⸻ FUN ONE-LINERS (STEAL THESE) • “Revenge of the Nerds walked so algorithmic culture could sprint.” • “Turns out being smart doesn’t automatically make you wise.” • “We replaced jocks with dashboards and called it progress.” • “The real glow-up is learning empathy before you get power.” /./././. * and FFS 🙈 rape culture was in it. #RevengeOfTheNerds ( 1/2 )

⁉️🙋🏻‍♀️❔Do you read old books like an #allegory ? Example: This page is from a #Rogets #thesaurus arguing with itself about #intelligence #absurdity and #nonsense. Here is one modern parable hiding inside it. TLDR : terminology , amiright 😜 The Moral A society doesn’t collapse when it becomes stupid. It collapses when it becomes unable to recognize nonsense. The most dangerous absurdities are the ones spoken calmly, footnoted carefully, and defended as intelligent. ⸻ The City That Renamed the #Words In the city, people used to argue about what things meant. Not loudly — just enough to stay honest. There were words for sense and words for nonsense. Words for wisdom and words for folly. Words for intelligence and words for imbecility. They weren’t insults. They were descriptions. Then one day, the city decided clarity was uncomfortable. So they hired committees. The committees said: “Absurdity is subjective.” “Folly depends on context.” “Intelligence is whatever produces results.” The dictionary was revised. As all sacred books are by humanity. ⸻ #Absurdity was renamed innovation. #Contradiction became nuance. #Nonsense became disruption. And #wisdom — quiet, inconvenient wisdom — was labeled resistance to progress. People who asked questions were told they were confused. People who pointed out contradictions were told they lacked vision. People who noticed that nothing made sense anymore were told: “You just don’t understand how advanced this has become.” ⸻ Soon, the city filled with very clever people saying very empty things. They spoke fluently. They cited each other. They produced graphs. And yet, every decision made life narrower. When someone said, “This feels wrong,” the answer was always: “Feelings aren’t data.” When someone said, “This doesn’t add up,” the answer was: “The model disagrees.” ⸻ Eventually, the city reached a strange place. Everything was optimized. Nothing was understood. People could explain how things happened — but not why. They could defend decisions — but not justify them. They had intelligence everywhere, and wisdom nowhere. ⸻ One day, an old book was found in a basement. It listed words plainly: Absurdity — nonsense that pretends to be reason. Intelligence — the capacity to understand, not merely compute. Wisdom — judgment guided by conscience. The book made no claims. It offered no solutions. It simply named things correctly. And that frightened the city more than any rebellion ever had. Because when words regain their meaning, systems lose their disguise. ⸻

Flannel #unpaper towels are the cutest thing ever. My friend made them. 🫂 Love them so much.

VIKI used math. Norsefire used fear. Both removed consent. Freedom dies when “for your own good” goes unquestioned. #irobot #VIKI #V #Vendetta
