Step two: create experiences that allow people to become successful.

  There's a huge difference between brilliance and success, however. Brilliant people often have tragic flaws, which render them ultimate failures; and make them fabulously unhappy.

    While you are correct, everyone has flaws at a similar rate (although I think shortsightedness is related to IQ for whatever reason); the brilliant people are just able to compensate better. I think the tragedy is that people recognize their potential (especially as children) and expect them to perform as if they had none (especially if they develop flaws later in life or are inconsistent and excel in only some circumstances.)

    Non-brilliant people also have those flaws. It's called being human. Nevertheless, brilliant people can and do find success and happiness. This isn't a Homeric myth!
