Haha, that reminds me a lot of this quote from an Atlantic article on Freeman Dyson: I asked him whether as a boy he had speculated much about his gift. Had he asked himself why he had this special power? Why he was so bright? Dyson is almost infallibly a modest and self-effacing man, but tonight his eyes were blank with fatigue, and his answer was uncharacteristic. “That’s not how the question phrases itself,” he said. “The question is: why is everyone else so stupid?” |
