My God, how does such an ignorant, sophomoric, and patently ignorant take have so many upvotes on Lemmy? Some of the most intelligent and kind people I know have gone into politics, but mostly have just been local.
But even at the top, without even thinking I can point to Obama who went to Harvard law.
Granted, I agree that politics does not select specifically for intelligence, as mtg among many others prove, but the idea that smart and mentally stable people don’t go into politics is just ridiculously stupid.
I see your point, but can’t square it.
If he had said “I didn’t think it mattered so I didn’t think to tell her” that would make sense, but the fact that he said he deliberately hid it (ie harmless secret) means he knew she wouldn’t like it. Which makes sense because I think it would be pretty common to get “no” for an answer when you ask your spouse if you can name your kid after a bug.
There’s nothing wrong with bugs. It’s all about intent, and he clearly intended to hide this from her because he knew (correctly) it would be a problem for her. So it was a lie by withholding relevant information. About their daughters name. Its messed up. It’s also dumb because it’s so easy to look up the origin of a name that this “secret” isn’t really one at all.
Usually for me it’s I have to check with my wife about the question…and then forget about it I’ll never think of it again until it’s far too late.
