Are nerds the modern reincarnations of medieval knights?

By the way, sorry if this post will come off as weird but yes, it will surprise you. I don't mean to make a joke or to give off a feeling that I am crazy delusional but I am a member of an obscure religious group from Bhutan.

Also, please don't attack me if my English is bad. English is not my native language and I just started learning it recently. I recently immigrated from Bhutan to the USA with my parents. I am a native of Bhutan. The culture shock that I felt here in the USA is extreme. People here are more direct towards each other which comes off as offensive to many Asians.

So my main question is when did introvert nerds stop being warriors and start being scientists? In Medieval Europe, nerds were the knights and the asharechts so what happened? Is this why modern nerds are chivalrous?

Anyways, my religion is not Abrahamic or Vedic. My religion a pre-Vedic and pre-Abrahamic religion from Bhutan. My religion has many pagan abstract deities who don't act like humans but act otherworldly. My religion heavily centers on reincarnation, mind reading, clairvoyance, prophetic readings, and also psychics supernaturally reading past histories. My religion has a community that supports and loves each other.

Anyways, I am a foreigner and a native from Bhutan. I am a huge fan of Medieval European Knights. I think they're so heroic. To me, they have the most amazing armor styles in history. They look invincible. The way they fight with medieval two-handed double-edged longswords is also fierce, valiant, and heroic.

The religious leader of my religious community is very respected in our obscure religious community. I am very close to him. He is like my second father. Due to me being a huge knight fan, I asked him about who the knights really are and who are their modern soul reincarnations. He told me that their modern reincarnations are quiet perfectionist males who fiercely want to be alone, do what they want to do regardless of how society sees them, and don't care about society. He also told me that the modern reincarnations of Medieval knights are the wisest of all men throughout all ages and are responsible for all of modern history's arts and wisdom.

Due to me being more curious about who these enigmatic quiet males are, I reached out to some Bhutanese American members of our religious community and they said that these quiet great men are called the term “nerds”. I don't know what that term means. What does that term mean in American culture?

Due to my curiosity about “nerds”, it also led the Bhutanese American members of my religious community to inform me of certain individuals called “jocks”. They told me that these people called “jocks” are evil men willing to hurt others and should be avoided. They also told me that “jocks” violate every ethical commandment in our religion such as chastity, humility, honesty, compassion, selflessness, and self-control. They also told me that in all ages, all cultures and all nations’ tyrants, especially the genocidal ones and the most wicked ones, are all “jocks” because “jocks” grow up to be charismatic scary ruthless political men feared and respected by many. They also told me that “jocks” abuse their wives and their kids and are adulterous.

I asked our religious leader if what my Bhutanese American fellow religious members told me about “nerds” and “jocks” are right and true and my religious leader said that my Bhutanese American friends are indeed right. Those quiet mysterious solitary great men that he was indeed talking about are indeed the same people as “nerds”.

I also asked some professional American university historians that I personally know and he confirmed to me that if reincarnation is a real thing, it's modern “nerds” who are the modern reincarnations of medieval knights because he thinks that mentally and culturally, knights and modern “nerds” are the closest to each other. For example, he said that knights and “nerds” are the only ones who both exhibit chivalrous tendencies. Literally CHIVALRY.

I also asked him if knights were the only “nerds” in Medieval Europe and he said that aside from the category knight, there is a second type of “nerds” in Medieval Europe and those are the Asharechts. Asharechts are basically ascetic celibate martial artist Christian priests. My religious leader also told me that asharechts are not knights and never wore full armor nor rode a horse into battle. Asharecht holy priests are warriors in that they will defend their temples from foreign invaders and local armies. Another thing that makes asharechts different from knights is that asharechts are scientists and intellectuals who have great love for Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Astronomy, and all types of intellectual wisdom. They study a lot of intellectual wisdom in their temples.

Then I asked my religious leader about who “jocks” are in Medieval Europe and also in Ancient Europe(such as Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Ancient Celtic Gaul, etc.) and he said most jocks during those times tend to become tyrannical leaders, bandits, highwaymen, and pirates due to all of pre-modern Europe being a brutal kill-or-be-killed dog-eats-dog uncivilized place and also because “jocks” can't control their urge to hurt others including innocents. But he told me that “jocks” in modern times have become far more civilized because instead of becoming criminals or political tyrants in modern times, they tend to just focus their energies on non-lethal physical games of strength and endurance as healthy ways to channel their aggression.

Anyways, I practice an obscure form of Bhutanese hybrid martial art that uses weapons. The name of this martial art is Czinge. Czinge is a martial art that was invented in the year 1158 AD by some ancient members of our religious community. Yes, our religious community is very old.

Czinge is what led me to be interested in martial arts as a whole which also led me to be interested in the martial arts family HEMA because of my fascination with Medieval knights. So what are some legitimate places where I can learn HEMA? Some of the things I want to learn in HEMA are the martial arts fencing, sabre-fighting, and the knight longsword art.

Also, what are “nerds” and “jocks”?

And again, when did introvert nerds stop being warriors and start being scientists? In Medieval Europe, nerds were the knights and the asharechts so what happened? Is this why modern nerds are chivalrous?
