Spoken like a true nerd who couldn't compete on the athletic field.

Of course, we could all emulate Bobby Fisher...

And why would I want to?

I suppose that's possible. Or we could all emulate Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk...

Or, we could emulate the high school football team, who you can see bagging groceries or pumping gas or pushing a broom, dreaming about the Good Old Days which are now long past and never to return.

Being a nerd means the future is open and infinite. Being a jock means you peak at 18.
