Geek Social Fallacies
Jul. 20th, 2009 11:11 pmHere's a link I thought was interesting: Five Geek Social Fallacies, which lists and explains five dysfunctional patterns of interaction common among geeks.
I read this article with a rather a lot of nodding and wincing, because (except for fallacy #2) most of it applies very strongly to my high school social circle, which was so geeky that we lavished on our math homework the kind of time and attention that normal high school girls spend on their thighs and their boyfriends.
( Cut because, hey, it's a post about the social dynamics of my high school friend group. )
