The pejorative "neckbeard" is our lockstep totalitarian culture's dismissal of older gents who may have no children, no responsibilities, no hangups, no distractions, no great wealth, no Earthly trappings, and/or no need for narcissistic masturbatory self-grooming. In other cultures they may utilize other classic terms for them such as: wise men, gurus, sages, shamans, prophets, etc.

no need for narcissistic masturbatory self-grooming.

That's the opposite of a neckbeard, Jason.

Yes, that's why it says "no need" for it, nor any of the other trappings of "normal" life.

The problem is many of the folks on the other side of the "normal" hump on the IQ bell curve don't subscribe to those trappings either, while some autistic folks manage to straddle the hump simultaneously.

Filthy wanks clear the mind of cobwebs of distracting mischief.

How many wanks to get to highest level of samadhi?
