The most troublesome part about my 178 IQ is the almost daily reminder that not everyone has been gifted with such a high IQ. Watching people fail to learn from their mistakes, notwithstanding that these same people often seek my help and advice, yet fail to apply that advice.

This is not an issue limited to only those with a high IQ – people with extremely low IQ’s might have a logical brain and have that one friend with a high IQ who never learns. It’s not the Intelligence Quotient that’s the issue – it’s the logic centers of the brain – you can be a genius and have absolutely no logic in your brain. It’s just life.
“Being a genius has its challenges, but the greatest challenge of all is raising one.”
