Closet Slashdotters: The 'Intellectually Curious'

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the don't-call-me-a-nerd dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Slashdotters are certified geeks, but apparently there's a bunch of other people out there who are very interested in science, technology, politics and culture but they don't want to be known as geeks. A media consulting firm called OMD did a study for the company that owns Space.com and LiveScience. They conclude that 60 million Americans can be called "intellectually curious." Intellectually, I'm curious what that makes the rest of them."

    You can sum it up with the words "Don't know & don't care"

    Anti-Intellectualism is a whole different ball game
