LSC Dining hall may sixth 5:15

i have noted the difference between "nerds" and "regular folk" it seems to boil down to intellectual vs material property. the "nerds" seem to only really care about material things that gather them intellectual property, whereas the "regular folk" seem to see the material as the end result. obviously this is an observation of the masses not individuals. the biggest thing that keeps sticking out to me is choices in personal style. its sort of the intricate webbing that blurs the line between the masses and the individual. you can look through a crowd and see a thousand flat brimmed ball caps, all accompanied by a thousand tall tees. but when one looks at the subject matter within, they see new things. on the scale of the individual the rules for the masses do not apply. i can look at cheech over here and see he has a flat brim and a nike tee-shirt. i can look at the mass grouping of people he is from and define what he most likely enjoys in life. but i will not reach the individual this way. the grouping of people form a personality within itself of which cheech is a part of, but it is not who he is. much like your cells are a part of you, but its not what they are. it would seem that even if you did get to know the individual they will still continue to just be another massing.
