>>13705535Highly intelligent people are more likely to realise what a fucked up reality we are living in.
When they are young they try to cope with it by doing what they are good at, and if they are actually intelligent, they often succed, whether it's science, chess or anything else.
But eventually they snap, since any cope is eventually bound to be shatered by reality, and having held everything they knew to be true within them for so long, they eventually go insane.
