I knew a genius once. She would read math books for fun. She did math equations that ran for 12 pages for fun. There wasn't a complex problem she couldn't figure out. She made triple the median wage her entire life working as computer programmer.

Now, retired in her old age, she lives in squalid poverty, flat broke. She is like the crazy cat lady, but with no cats. She is like a herion addict, without the herion.

Greatness means nothing without common sence.

Oh, by the way, she is a rapid leftist & feminist.
