Paul Graham’s essay “Why Nerds are Unpopular” has been mentioned a few times on LW, in a very positive way.
My initial reaction upon reading that essay a couple years ago was also very positive. However, upon rereading it, I realized it doesn’t really fit with my observations or what I know from social science research at all. I want to write a top level post about why I disagree with Graham, but I’m not really sure if that would be on-topic enough for a top-level.
So I guess I’ll just put this to a vote. Please upvote this if you think I should write a top-level post.
Why not just do a draft in discussion? It’s a top level subject, but how could we judge well at this point without knowing what the post would look like?
