Genius + empathy for non genius beings is a very rare combo
3 comments

Being good at many disparate things when you are young is a very rare combo in general. It takes time to become very good at anything. Someone who has had enough time to be both a technical genius's and learnt how to relate to the many and varied personalities out there would be a remarkable find indeed. It's not at all surprising a young person would look around their peers, and decide such a thing is very rare.

But the gift of time comes with age. Coincidently so does the gift of wisdom. Maybe wisdom is merely a word for having had the time to gain a good understanding of many aspects of the human condition.

I’ve met plenty of empathic “geniuses” (as the article defines them), they just aren’t as noticeable.
What are you basing this off of? Rick and Morty? Have you ever met an actual genius?
