We are largely the nerds that other nerds picked on for being too nerdy. I’d bet that a hugely disproportionate share of all the people in the world who care about this subject at all are here in these conversations.


Actual normies don’t think of the Internet at all. They open Facebook The App on their iPads and smartphones and that’s the internet for them.
