I don't know that we won anything past being useful to executives. Many benefits of life go to people based on social skills, image, and interests. Hacker knowledge or topics are still a negatibe that holds us back.
I always had to talk and act more like them to make progress in ways nerds usually don't. I had to hide my knowledge or skills mostly to focus on theirs. In other groups or places, I could nerd out with the nerds. I could sometimes do something from one group in the other but had to present it differently.
Back in high school, I think we wanted all the opportunities and attention we saw other people get while being ourselves. That didn't happen. I think most of us still can't have it. So, who won in the culture?
Thanks to Jesus Christ, I don't need it anymore. He gives us peace, joy, purpose, and new family. Also, reveals more quickly how evil those high-status groups were. I'm glad I couldn't become one of them. I still had to repent of what kind of person I became, though.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. If you’re so inclined to share, could you please share the highly improbable event you mention in your bio which reawakened your faith? You don’t have to mention anything you don’t want to.
