When Pope Gregory XIII briefly shortened the light-year in 1582, it led to navigational chaos and the loss of several Papal starships.
Fucking what?
It is well documented that the more educated someone is, the more likely they are to vote for left-wing politics. https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2016/04/26/a-wider-ideological-gap-between-more-and-less-educated-adults/
Thus the right's war on education. They want uneducated masses to inundate with propaganda, not critical thinkers.
Also I think your definition of "nerd" is absurdly narrow. Dictionary says it's someone who is either highly enthusiastic about a particular topic or someone who is boringly studious. That's like, virtually everyone with a college degree. People tend to major in things they're enthusiastic about. Or, if they're just after the "best" diploma, they're probably in the "boringly studious" category.
You can be a nerd about anything, and I'd actually wager most people are a nerd about at least one thing. It's not limited to the categories you arbitrarily selected to make your point (without any actual evidence presented, I might add).
