The best way to measure the loss of intellectual sophistication - this "nerdification," to put it bluntly - is in the growing disappearance of sarcasm, as mechanic minds take insults a bit too literally. ↗

Road-rage is really another expression of inner rage. However, because driving is such a trigger for millions of people, we have labelled it “road-rage”, directing the emotional dysfunction to an external circumstance rather than coming to terms with the internal condition. ↗
