People who have intellectually based skills think it makes them an intellectual.

They fail to understand that their skill doesn't generalise.

That and the hyperglazing and platforming they get for having said skill makes them a prime candidate for exposing how average they are.

Referring to this or what? Reddit post is gone, but Yahoo has something.

> "I do not believe that humans have an attribute called gender," Shazeer wrote, news site the Information reported Friday. "I do not believe that G-d puts people in the wrong bodies. I do not believe that it is okay to sterilize children. You have the right to your beliefs. I do not share them."

It's not dumb, and it's ridiculous if Google really has a problem with this. But it also says he kept accusing coworkers of being antisemitic, which clearly crosses the line into disrupting work.
