The article is behind a paywall so I didn't get to read the whole thing, but the little I did read suggests that Godel's accomplishment is intertwined with his mental illness. It is tempting to romanticize people's mental illness and make it out as a strength that allowed to them to accomplish great intellectual feats, but as far as all evidence goes, mental illness absolutely hinders one's mental capacity and works against it, rather than something that assists it. Please show me this evidence. What I know is that great things often require someone working obsessively hard. Which mental illness can lead to. For example people with Asperger's can often work much harder, and have successfully lead teams. Examples include Alan Turing during the Enigma Project, and Elon Musk today. Bipolar is often nicknamed "the CEO disease" because so many leaders have it. Ted Turner and Winston Churchill are examples. In a UK survey, fully 40% of entrepreneurs suffered from dyslexia, with Richard Branson being the best known example. No, mental illness does not make you magically smart. Yes, it is a disadvantage. But there is no reason to believe that having to work with a team will stop people with mental illness from rising to the pinnacle of intellectual performance.
