Yeah, that's true. I know some geniuses. They're a little dysfunctional.
I worry about my kids sometimes, who have outlandishly high IQs.
Fortunately, neither shows any sign of intending to live up to his intellectual potential (one wants to be a welder, the other seems intent upon leveling the playing field for the rest of us by smoking himself retarded).

In my experience, geniuses have trouble being happy.
