Well, I’m sorry .. but I don’t agree.
You can be dilusional plus certifiably insane, and still be brilliant - insofar as calculating against someone or something.
How on earth do mass murderers or theives (who plot to kill or steal from others) get by for so long ..?? They’re brilliant at deception!!!
I rest my case .. because we absolutely have a deceiver-in-chief.
AGREE. We must not make the mistake of confusing a lack of integrity and morals with a lack of intelligence or determination. We must not make the mistake of confusing evil intent with mental illness, either. That may or may not be true, but in any case, there’s nothing at all “stupid” about very many of these very highly functional people...would that it was that easy!
