    My MIL is one of these people. It doesn’t matter how many times we explain to her, with evidence, that he’s a moron. It’s like she hits herself with the Men in Black memory eraser after every conversion and next thing you know she’s back to saying “well all geniuses are a little bit eccentric and he’s the smartest man alive so of course he’s a bit strange.” It’s so exhausting.

      “well all geniuses are a little bit eccentric and he’s the smartest man alive so of course he’s a bit strange.”

      I fucking hate the “eccentric genius” cognitohazard that so many Burgerlanders believe in.
