There's no line. Most "geniuses" are fucking insane, they just happen to be right about one thing.

  Is this really true? Maybe they're not 'geniuses' but the most capable people I've met have generally seemed quite sane? Often idiosyncratic, sure, but not wildly decoupled from reality. That matches what I've generally read about famous geniuses too.

    It's because genius and lunacy aren't mutually exclusive, and any intelligence sufficiently advanced to be labeled as such is separated from normal intelligence by a wide gulf of differences.

    I don't have any hard data on this, that's just my experience / opinion =)
