People who pursue ideas, who have a form of intelectual curiosity (especially in a digital world) are classified as either nerds or geeks. But the 2 can be separated based on their production capability:
- a geek can be a programmer who writes useful code, thus being productive & useful somehow
- a nerd is interested in 14th century poetry just for the hell of it, not producing anything useful for others.
A dork is someone with no intelectual curiosity and no production capabilities.
