This kinda resonates with me, but I also know some people who are genuinely really nice but also believe in crackpot theories, like there’s this thrift store owner in my town who donates a ton of his earnings to a disability charity and runs a food bank in his store and everything, but he’s also been convinced by the internet that the moon landings were fake and a bunch of protests were staged by the government
Oh gods, that reminds me of Ben Carson. Incredibly brilliant neurosurgeon who IIRC invented new techniques, but also believed the pyramids were biblical grain silos. Some people are just intelligent/empathetic in extremely different and weird ways.
I’ve said before that doctors are the engineers of the human body, and Ben Carson is my go-to example of what that means.
