Have you noticed that people who are really intelligent with code and math are among the most most ignorant and bereft of common sense on the planet?

Hmm. If we used the words 'socially' in front of 'ignorant', I would have to agree. It appears to me to be so with the common sense aspect as well. My father produced this aura of lacking common sense, and he was a super genius. I think this phenomena has a lot to do with what many super intelligent individuals choose to do with their time, since their abilities of their minds open them up to a different world than the average one. I am pretty sure that not all super intelligent folks choose to code, but I am positive that only the super intelligent should make the choice to go that route.. What seems 'fun' to one IQ range, will not seem fun to another. 'Socialization' is very 'fun' and 'necessary' to the masses...and why is that? I think it is because the masses fall into the extreme majority of 'average IQ' range. Everything that those masses do, seems 'normal', to them. Anything 'abnormal' to them, is 'weird' or 'awkward' as a result. The Cognitive Bias of the masses therefore overrules the minor blips from the super minority on either side of the spectrum. Therefore anything coming from the extreme low, or extreme high of the IQ bell curve, is considered 'ridiculous' to the masses in the middle, who all pat each other on the backs for repeating what their 'authority figure' taught them.

But yeah, I know what you mean about the awkwardness... Imagine what those super geek coders think of the general public.
I try to view both sides from the outside..not sure if I am doing it right :D
