This was an excellent piece. When I was younger I took the IQ test and somewhere along the way I had heard there is an inverse correlation between how high the IQ score is to a person's sanity. You might be interested to see Johnathan Nash's (subject of A Beautiful Mind) thoughts about sanity. Changed my viewpoint on the subject.
I have upvoted this post and will feature it on my hidden gems blog. Excellent content I am looking forward to more.
