Being surprised that an expert in dishonesty is dishonest is like being surprised that a lot of pyromaniacs become firemen or that a lot of pedos become teacher

Being surprised that an expert in dishonesty is dishonest is like being surprised that a lot of pyromaniacs become firemen or that a lot of pedos become teachers and priests - it's something they spend a lot of time doing and thinking about, it makes sense that they'd want to do it for a job if they can. No, I don't think spotting this pattern makes me smarter than everyone else.
- xdavidliu 3y agodo experts in criminals commit crimes? Are experts in autism autistic? Are experts in military history bellicose?
- hsjqllzlfkf 3y ago"are" betrays a very black and white view of the world. I think they're all overrepresented, yes.
- xdavidliu 3y agoyou're implying that an expert in criminology is more likely than non-experts in criminology to commit crimes, and similarly "more likely" for the other two examples?
