Peoples' treatment of others, peoples' talent are two independent variables... mostly:
- don't assume that if someone is sarcastic and a jerk, they're talented (the snarkist-is-smart antipattern)
- don't assume that if someone is talented, they must treat other people well... you'll be surprised how often this is untrue
- HOWEVER: it's important that talented people *SHOULD* be kind, treat their peers well, because many good things come from *communities*.
