I think this is because they spend most of their lives dealing with unnecessary conflict and isolation since most people don&#x27;t understand them. Being a genius doesn&#x27;t remove the need for social acceptance built into human beings.<p>As such many with a genius IQ pretend not to be in order to be accepted. So their talents are wasted.<p>However, if everyone was augmented there would be no need to pretend to be &quot;normal&quot; just to be accepted. So much more could then be accomplished.<p>In fact, I think today&#x27;s &quot;normal&quot; would be tomorrow&#x27;s &quot;intellectual disability.&quot;<p>There are many successful geniuses as well. And those are often <i>wildly</i> successful. Again, if everyone was that way it would be acceptable, rather than odd, to care about real achievements.
