I know a ton of smart people who get nothing done, not due to being surrounded by idiots but rather due to depression and anxiety(which anecdotally seems to hit harder when the person is smart for some reason).
- mmargerum 5y agoSmart people are also very lazy. I've always been an underachiever and am just as happy writing emacs lisp to do cool things as I am to reengineering some mess at work. Still get paid the same amount. I do good work but I don't overextend myself. This is how i've avoided burning out after 30 years.
