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.

An open mind, in questions that are not ultimate, is useful. But an open mind about the ultimate foundations either of Theoretical or of Practical Reason is idiocy. If a man's mind is open on these things, let his mouth at least be shut. He can say nothing to the purpose. Outside the Tao there is no ground for criticizing either the Tao or anything else.
