Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”” ‭‭ Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭37‬-‭40‬ ‭NIV‬‬

What biblical symbolism shows evil?

#bible #study #pow

“Because we are not wrestling against basar vadahm (flesh and blood), but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of the choshech of the Olam Hazeh, against the kokhot ruchaniyim ra'im (evil spiritual forces) in Shomayim.”

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬ ‭TOJB2011‬‬

“And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”

‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭7‬ ‭ESV‬‬

🎬 Revenge of the Nerds — A Friendly ( biased AF but kinda Honest ) Modern #philosophy

⸻

THE PLOT (IN TODAY’S LANGUAGE)

A group of socially awkward, underestimated outsiders get humiliated by the cool, dominant group.

Instead of:

•	learning confidence
•	building mutual respect
•	or changing the system

They: • optimize • out-engineer • out-scale

And then win.

Cue applause. 🎉

In #1984 this felt like #justice In #2025 it reads like a case #study

⸻

WHAT THE MOVIE THOUGHT IT WAS SAYING

“Brains beat brawn.” “Intelligence wins in the end.” “The underdog deserves revenge.”

Very wholesome on paper.

This is the version people remember. *

⸻

WHAT IT ACTUALLY TAUGHT (ACCIDENTALLY)

1️⃣ #Humiliation Justifies Anything

If you’re bullied long enough, anything you do back feels earned.

This logic aged… poorly.

Modern version:

•	“They deserved it.”
•	“We were ignored first.”
•	“They had power, so it doesn’t count when we use it.”

⸻

2️⃣ #Optimization Beats Empathy

The nerds don’t reform the system — they hack it.

•	#surveillance
•	#manipulation
•	#technical #exploits
•	#social #engineering

Modern parallel:

•	growth hacking
•	engagement manipulation
•	algorithm gaming
•	“move fast and break things”

Sound familiar? Maybe 🤔

⸻

3️⃣ #Power Changes the Nerds

This is the quiet twist people miss.

Once the #nerds win, they don’t become #kinder.

They become the new #dominant group.

The movie treats that as #victory

The internet later said:

“Hold my beer.” 🍺 bitte.

⸻

WHY IT MAPS PERFECTLY TO MODERN CULTURE

🧠 #Tech Culture

•	socially marginalized → technically dominant

•	merit defined as output, not ethics

•	success = proof you were right all along

🌐 #Internet Culture

•	#anonymity removes accountability

•	#cleverness replaces kindness

•	“I’m right” becomes “I’m allowed”

🧪 #Startup / Platform Culture

•	#disruption framed as moral good
•	#consequences outsourced
•	#apology optional if growth is high ( FAX 📠) 

Revenge of the Nerds is the origin myth of ‘we won, therefore we’re good.’

⸻

THE REAL JOKE (THE FUN PART)

The real revenge of the nerds wasn’t against jocks.

It was against:

•	social norms
•	embodied wisdom
•	emotional intelligence
•	restraint

They didn’t want a seat at the table. They wanted to replace the table with a spreadsheet.

And somehow… we let them. 😅 #dorks

⸻

THE MODERN PUNCHLINE

Revenge stories feel good. Reform stories are harder.

The movie ends before the nerds have to answer the question:

“Okay cool — now what kind of adults are you?”

Modern culture is still answering that.

⸻

FUN ONE-LINERS (STEAL THESE)

•	“Revenge of the Nerds walked so algorithmic culture could sprint.”

•	“Turns out being smart doesn’t automatically make you wise.”

•	“We replaced jocks with dashboards and called it progress.”

•	“The real glow-up is learning empathy before you get power.”

/./././.

• and FFS 🙈 rape culture was in it.

A brief excerpt: Given the scarcity of our physiological resources, e.g. we have but 2 arms, 2 legs, etc., the scarcity of time, and our

🙋🏻‍♀️⁉️❔: how to hack the planet 🌏 for goodness sake 😂🤙😊

limited ability to move through #space in time, we are faced constantly with the question of what we ought to do with the present moment.

Our actions are the manifestation of the result of the economic #calculus we performed on what it is that we valued most at the moment of each action. In other words, when we act, we are demonstrating the outcome of the most recent instance in which we have asked ourselves “What is the one thing I should pursue next, as it will produce the most value?”. Therefore, when one chooses to begin the #journey of learning some #study or discipline, there is some kind of value calculus that has occurred.

So what do we tend to value? We are all subjugated to the demands of our #biological vulnerabilities. The survivalist’s rules of 3 offer a quick rundown of those vulnerabilities:

And WOOF 🐶 DOES this hit …

3 weeks without food 3 days without water 3 hours without adequate shelter/heat/clothing (in certain circumstances) 3 minutes without oxygen 3 tenths of a second without security

And I think everyone loves #Deadpool but ima biased AF , cause #Cousin , ima old school pool hustler 😂🤙😊
