My uncle was labeled with a genius IQ back in school.
He's now an alcoholic and substance abuse user. I don't even know what he does for money.
I asked him once why he chose this path and he claimed that the substances were the only way he could fit in with society.
But I believe he self medicates himself to either dumb-down, control or manage his gift. |
I think you correctly identified what's going on here. Actually your uncle told us the answer, "right from the horses mouth" as they say. So now we know.
These people are different. Genius IQ is 4 standard deviations, that's 1 in 30,000 rarity. What I learned from working at a high IQ company (basically the company "does intelligence" as their business) is that these people are in fact different from the mean. They get along with themselves because they are the same. They love each other and become super social sharing all their fascinating ideas.
But the avg homo sapien is 100 and they are 160, and that's a big difference. There's really no way for them to communicate with the average person without REALLY dumbing things down, to the point where the point of what they are saying is lost. I'm 2 standard deviations out (in the right direction) and I even sensed frustration from them when they were trying to explain concepts to me. How would you feel if you had nobody to talk to except retards all day every day? How long could you keep it together? They feel they are normal, and that we are the weird ones.
And its totally impossible for an 85 and a 160 to communicate in any way whatsoever. An 85er just thinks the 160 is "weird", they don't even perceive them as being intelligent.
So people who can't relate to their own species take drugs, drink, and become depressed...not really that difficult to understand. The solution I think is hanging out with "your own kind", but the higher your IQ the more rare "your kind" is...there is no companion on Earth for a 200 IQ person (its 1 in 76B rarity, perhaps 1 is born every 200 years). |
