Yesterday's angst

Paul Graham posted this totally fabulous article yesterday detailing the social angst felt by nerds. As far as this article is concerned, it's great. Explains a lot of the pain you experience at being smart, and all the difficulty you had in being popular.

If YOU ever ever felt lonely a species who was totally alone in the galaxy or generally needed consoling for being soo...... alone read this article. (It comforted me a lot). Beware though that it's for people who are lonely on account of being smart. For those of us who are just lonely gosh! that's just existential angst. So let's go commit suicide!

On the other hand if you are one of those smart people would you kindly explain to me how this works
