" ... just random see, and where anything is possible"

Might as well start with a repost from elsewhere then...

"...I have met some remarkable people in my time and have to agree with Aristotle's claim that "there is no great genius without a mixture of madness". Many of his contemporaries as well as psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, and psychologists today agree with his statement and have argued that genius and madness are indeed linked to underlying degenerative neurological disorders. Amongst other notable studies, researchers at the Stanford University Medical Centre in 2002, ran a series of personality, temperament, and creativity tests to students studying creative or fine arts, design, and mechanical engineering. The test results showed that individuals in this group, were more likely to be moody and neurotic than a healthy control group. Moodiness and neuroticism were part of a group of characteristics these researchers used to identify mild, non-clinical forms of depression and bipolar disorder. So..." concludes the chameleon "... is there a danger of being too smart for your own good.?" Meanwhile, the Jatsman is happily passing on his inferior wisdom, in the shadow and relative ignorance of such higher things, and has just again, showed the boys that little trick of gathering some toilet paper, wiping around the bowl, after they have been for a shite, then washing their hands, and so, women will love them forever.

So..." concludes the chameleon "... is there a danger of being too smart for your own good.?"

Imo, yes. I don't have any facts to back me up, just observations. I have seen brilliant people who couldn't function in normal society. They seem to have traded in their social skills for more brain power. Without social skills they are just smart, walking, poop factories...
With knowledge comes power. Over the years mankind has created technologies that have benifited us, but has been detrimental to our races progress. In a sense the smart people have hindered the lives of those who have average intelligence.

"Well if you throw enough shit some of it sticks..." comments the chameleon, remembering now to turn the notify me of replies on, a repost from elsewhere then...

"...that reminds me of my time when briefly I worked in a zoo, each morning we would walk through the ape house and see them all inside their glass houses, and greet Pepe the head chimp who was mad as a box of frogs, and then returning most lunchtimes, sitting at the top of the coliseum type concrete steps of the outside viewing area comprising from left to right the orang-utans, the chimps, and the gorrillas, who were separated by a high concrete wall, and from the public by a hand rail and a moat. We would sit and watch them quietly, eating our sandwiches, and as per usual at this time the school kids would ariive in their crocodile lines, naturally heading to the front, shouting and screaming excitedly, but before too long it would degenerate, and several would start throwing things at them, and Pepe would come and sit at the edge of the other side of the moat, naturally protecting his pack, displaying his dominance, not taking kindly to being pelted with peanuts no matter how tasty, and when the kids would start throwing small stones at him instead. He would repsond by casually shitting in his hand, to howls of disgust, and then throwing it all over them, splattering them in shit, then seemingly laughing his head off. Hence why we always sat at the back".
