Witten is so smart, like inexplicably smart. he’s been called a “Martian” for his super-human abilities. seriously.

i realize his dad was a physics prof and so forth but still… how can someone be so fucking smart? like i hoped all humans would be in the same gaussian distribution and the chances of Witten being alive today would be negligible; but lo and behold, there he is to make us all look like retards.

should i just give up?
