It's hard to be the smartest person in the room
CONTENT：
If ignorance is bliss, does a high IQ equal misery? Popular opinion would have it so. We tend to think of geniuses as being plagued by existential angst, frustration, and loneliness. Think of Virginia Woolf, Alan Turing, or Lisa Simpson – lone stars, isolated even as they burn their brightest. As Ernest Hemingway wrote: “Happiness in intelligentpeople is the rarest thing I know.”
The question may seem like a trivial matter concerning a select few – but the insights it offers could have ramifications for many. Much of our education system is aimed at improving academic intelligence; although its limits are well known, IQ is still the primary way of measuring cognitive abilities, and we spend millions on brain training and cognitive enhancers that try to improve those scores. But what if the quest for genius is itself a fool’s errand?
译文：
如果无知就是幸福，高智商是不是等于痛苦?按照当下流行的观点似乎是如此。我们往往认为天才都被存在性焦虑，沮丧和孤独所折磨。想想弗吉尼亚·伍尔芙，阿兰·图灵，丽莎·辛普森这些孤星，在燃烧他们智慧的同时也是与世隔绝的。正如欧内斯特·海明威说的：''我很少看到聪明的人快乐。''
问题似乎只是就少数人来说的小事——但是它提供的见解可能会带来许多分歧。我们的教育制度大部分旨在增强学术智慧;即使它的局限性广为人知，智商仍然是衡量认知能力的主要方式，我们花费了上百万在脑力训练和认知增强药上，试着提高智商上的分数。但是如果我们所追求的天才到头来不过是傻子呢?
