Stupids: n. Term used by samurai for the
suits who employ them; succinctly expresses an
attitude at least as common, though usually better disguised, among other
subcultures of hackers. There may be intended reference here to an SF
story originally published in 1952 but much anthologized since, Mark
Clifton's Star, Bright. In it, a super-genius child
classifies humans into a very few ‘Brights’ like herself, a
huge majority of ‘Stupids’, and a minority of
‘Tweens’, the merely ordinary geniuses.
