Synopsis
Labels are really just words? They are harmless. But are they? What about the words ‘Geek’, ‘Nerd’, ‘Techy’ and ‘Whizzkid’? Are they labelling a given individual in a negative way? Is this a good thing and are they a slippery slope towards something worse like ‘bullying’ or ‘sidelining from society’?
I have never liked those terms. To me they are derogatory and a means of one human hiding the fact that they don’t really understand but acknowledge the skill and yet want to make themselves appear better and more important in society than the human they’re applied to.
