Summary

The quote highlights a cultural difference in Europe where individuals with high intelligence or a strong interest in academic pursuits are referred to as "smart people" instead of "geeks" as perceived in other cultures. The speaker acknowledges that there is a lack of appreciation for intelligence in their own culture and takes pride in identifying as a geek. This implies that being a geek represents a celebration of intellectual abilities and passions that may not receive the same recognition or admiration in society.
