I always believed the more intelligent you are the easier it would be to live a VERY GOOD LIFE. After all being very intelligent should guide you to make VERY INTELLIGENT choices which would lead to VERY INTELLIGENT OUTCOMES which would make any SANE LOGICAL person happy wouldn't it?
Well here's the truth and it shocks me.
There is a higher rate of mental illness among MENSA members. The more intelligent are more excitable, tend to ruminate and worry. Higher rate of allergies. More socially isolated. More drug use, earlier drug use generally less content.
That makes no sense to me. What's the point of being highly intelligent if you don't make BETTER choices BETTER decisions and handle life's slings and arrows BETTER THAN those who are less intellectually gifted?.
I don't get it. I really don't.
