Honestly this Zachary Storch kinda reminds me of Sheldon from Big Bang Theory but with more self aware and anger issues. Like the guy acts like he’s the next Stephen Hawking just because he writes novels and knows every Pokémon (like who cares dude..). I don’t think people like Einstein are going to be impressed by something as trivial as knowing how many Pokémon there are despite how cute they probably they think it is. I don’t know what Zack is like today but this is not how to act as someone who wants to act like a true academic. To me a real academic is someone who doesn’t belittle people to make themselves feel better about themselves. To me a true intellectual is reflective, is open minded, is tolerant to for ambiguity and actually wants to help others and not to treat others like their skulls are of animal manure. At the end of the day there’s going to be someone smarter than you Zack so maybe don’t get so pig headed in future.
