re: It feels like our civilization has been taken over by theater kids and computer geeks

It used to be that the Visagoths, Attila the Hun, or Ghengis Khan came in and sacked your village. Now we have these pencil necks running our lives, and if we don't comply they are prepared to order men with guns to come after us.

And Genghis Khan and other warriors didn't come after you if you didn't comply? Genghis left nothing in this world but destruction. At least the conquerers before him built cities, trade routes, and technology. Colonizers brought advancements as well.

The geeks built this world. It wasn't the strongman that built weapons of war and tools to advance society. The computer geeks you deride built the planes, radar, night vision, GPS that lets the jocks win battles. It wasn't the foot soldier that built the tank, it was the engineer.

Yes, the left is shitty. But nearly every advancement you enjoy in this world is from the thinkers. I wouldn't put the people in your picture in the same category as people that advance technology. The original computer nerds were anti-authoritarian and nothing like the progressive filth you reference.
