Essentially everyone I work with is a genius ... None of us take the “Moon landing hoax” conspiracy theories seriously.
I consider it a character flaw in my friend. This fellow did things I consider genius. Self taught, mostly. No college.
I suspect that allowed him to think outside the box more than most. But it left gaps in subjects such as physics and orbital mechanics.
It does not change our relationship, except I ignore the obvious blind spots.
Everybody knows we didn’t go to the moon. We had to use the funding to make sure Guam didn’t capsize. /s
