🚨 MODERN DAY GENIUSES AND THE CURSE OF HIGH INTELLIGENCE


High intelligence can make it difficult to fit in socially, leading to loneliness and a sense of being misunderstood.

Geniuses like Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein, and Isaac Newton often faced unique challenges, from over-analysis and high standards to social isolation.

Today's industry leaders, such as Elon, Bezos, Zuckerberg, and even Jobs before he passed, have also reportedly grappled with the high expectations and pressures that come with exceptional intelligence.

Their sharp minds can lead to stress and psychological issues, including depression and anxiety.

Despite their success, many struggle with perfectionism and unrealistic expectations.

Marilyn vos Savant, renowned for her high IQ:

"Intelligence has its advantages, but it also has its burdens, including fitting in socially and living up to high expectations."

The average American's IQ is around 98, highlighting the stark difference and potential isolation experienced by those with much higher IQs.

Ernest Hemingway:
"Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know."
