My father, who was a republican (he died, not that he recovered from political conservativism), really liked that Schneider was one of the few conservatives in Hollywood and liked what he stood for, politically.

Except that he detested anyone who held anti-lgbt views and only judged people buy their skin or gender in regards to being excited about seeing more representation in media. He frequently gave to charity and supported public education. But he was a firm believer in bootstraps and all that “no such thing as a free lunch,” and was ridiculously judgemental about laziness. He also was a pioneer of technology and held numerous patents.

Three point is that genius and idiocy come in a countless number of flavors. My dad was the smartest man I’ve ever known and he was a bit of a moron.

Hyperspecialisation also doesn't help.

Wouldn't be the first time a renowned doctor thinks they know better than their accountant or lawyer, and fucks themselves over with their stupidity.
