| IMO this shouldn't even be considered news, that a PR junkie lays claim to a label pop culture associates with cleverness & "engineering skill"... To me it's very telling that this is even a blip on anyone's radar. People exaggerate differences & give them labels as a means of aggr... |

| Well, huh, I got that wrong then. I thought he was just a rich jerk. Apparently, he's a rich jerk with Asperger's . And actual talent for engineering. The only unexpected part of this is "rich" :P But, aside from being a rich jerk, his rocket research is really something. Not just those f... |

| It's a bummer that this is simultaneously something to brag about & something we're conditioned to be ashamed of. I need some sleep. |

Lately a friendly one of them has been designing college survey technology labs & I happen to know h... |

I mean at least this thread doesn't border on eugenics too much but there's always someone who comes out ... |

| It's not that I'm trying to envelop myself in the hedgehog's dilemma, more than anything I'd like to be closer to people but I'd be lying if I said I've generally been treated well in my life. I'm hard pressed to think of anyone outside WP who hasn't rejected some part of me. :shrug: They're free to... |
