Personally, I make the distinction that a nerd has some degree of social awkwardness, whereas a geek is just someone interested in a particular field to a degree that subverts the capitalist paradigm of Work/Consume/Die. I myself am a classical music geek – also a science geek to some degree, but I’m a bit rusty on that.
Lol – I think of the most horrific stories where the protagonist is captured by the bad guys, and emerges smiling and thanking them for their help. Why should I take YOUR word for how I should brainwash myself, given that dietary advice is a total crapshoot with new trends every other week? Besides, if you give up everything that is bad for you, you still won’t live forever, it will just feel like it!

“Even if we are wrong, then we lose nothing. But if we are right, then we gain everything.” and Pascal’s Wager raises its trite head again.

Good Lord, ‘d@mn’ is a prohibited word here. What is this, the 1950s?
