    Say what you want about Zuckerberg, but most people with enough intelligence don’t hate trans people

    Eh… intelligence is helpful, but in the end does not inoculate one against BS opinions. Musk is (supposedly) intelligent and toxic as hell, Richard Dawkins is (definitely) intelligent and a fucking TERF. fuck, Jordan Peterson (for all his faults) is a demonstrative intelligent man… he’s just also an asshole and wrong about a multitude of things.

      I’ll do a reverse reductio ad Hitlerum and say that a lot of people who had substantial enough communication with Hitler considered him very intelligent. Just, well, unhinged, with an itch he couldn’t scratch, with murderous overvalued ideas … But misjudgements usually used to justify calling him a corporal limited in perception are big because a man shouldn’t have such power, not because the particular man who had was dumber than the rest.
