oh I assure you, I can be just as much a dumbass as the best of them.

But seriously speaking, I really don't like this tendency in some more geek-oriented circles of thinking that being interested in tech and science, or even being smart, makes you inherently better or more worthy of dignity than anyone else. I used to very much be that kind of person (not quite the /r/atheism 'I am enlightened by my own intelligence' level of edgelord, but not terribly far off), and it's an attitude I've come to really dislike.
