Well, first of all, one doofus doesn't mean they are all doofus. Secondly, that person is an ethicist, not an engineer, even though Futurism calls him both, they are distinct and this guy was always making it seem like he was more than he was. Thirdly, smart people can do idiotic things, but that didn't make them idiotic, maybe if they are habitually doing idiotic things, then sure then they are idiotic, but one idiotic thing does not make an idiot, just like I've misspelling does not make someone not fluent.
Even if this one ethicist was an engineer, that doesn't mean all engineers are idiotic, that my friend would be idiotic to assert such a thing. I contend that, by and large, engineers are not idiotic. Does that mean they're aren't idiots? No, don't be silly.
Finally, I don't think that this was idiotic, so...
