an example of a lawyer that wasnt very smart is alexei navalny
he almost got killed by the russian goverment and he returned to russia afterwards
thats the most stupid decision i have seen in my entire life
was it even surprising that he ended in a 'gulag' and killed there?

And he could have lived safely in exile after the assassination attempt on him in 2020 — which nearly killed him, I might add. And — but he — he was traveling outside the country at the time. Instead, he returned to Russia. He returned to Russia knowing he’d likely be imprisoned or even killed if he continued his work. But he did it anyway, because he believed so deeply in his country — in Russia.
so he could live in exile and he returns to russia by his own goddamn self
and he was a sophisticated lawyer
people idealize lawyers and doctors but you dont need to be very smart
you need a lot of willpower to memorize a lot of boring stuff
also becoming a lawyer or a doctor for money & prestige while not liking it much is fucking stupid, emotions are much more important than money & prestige
