Yet again, I find I have underestimated just how deep into pathetic
geekdom I am when confronted by others of the species. We're pointed
that this damning refelction by Joey de Villa, an actual example of the
cool geek that the rest of us pretend that we could possibly be but
really can't.

I don't know how I ended up looking at a page in Everything2 (imagine a less academic Wikipedia written by LiveJournalers), but someone has come up with a geek lament treatment of the Clarke Axiom:

Any sufficiently nice person is indistinguishable from someone who likes you.
