About this document
Importance of Nerds in America by Jordan Patterson is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Fridman argues that intellectually gifted "nerds" are not given the same respect as athletes in American society. He claims it is important for Americans to value academic achievement and intellectual ability over social skills and physical prowess. As a conclusion, Fridman asks a rhetorical question about how America can remain powerful if it does not emphasize its nerds. He also provides a counterargument that in many other societies, professors have more prestigious jobs than athletes, unlike in America.
