Three cheers for Daniel Radcliffe, geek

"Reads science fiction, likes computers, enjoys challenging games, is generally into bright-person stuff."<p>I've never liked or bothered with science fiction, whilst I consider myself pretty techy (I prefer to say techy than geeky). Why is reading science fiction considered something bright people do? I'm not convinced it ties up at all.

Why would he have suspected Radcliffe of being a "face person"? He's not just "famous for being famous", he's famous for starring in an incredibly successful series of movies.

Now if we can get him to read (and endorse?) Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality...

I would say that acting may involves many skills, but mostly requires being a pretty face. Some kind of "sophistication" as described on <a href="http://www.overcomingbias.com/2010/11/bah-sophistication.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.overcomingbias.com/2010/11/bah-sophistication.htm...</a> may help - which in the end would make the person quite unlikely to be a geek IMHO
