Ha. I guarantee if smart people were put in solitary confinement they wouldn't enjoy it. I agree gifted people socialize less, and my partner is one of them, but he still socializes with me and his family. I have adhd and struggle to pay attention unless the conversation is stimulating, so I grasp parts of the intention of the essay :)

My partner definitely doesn't work more. He develops methods to make his job easier and tasks more efficient, and then plays video games. Ha
