My dear SRS, Let me take Mr. Bonilla's side here. I am a fellow high IQ person (I was on the Mensa Bangalore committee for a while), and can understand where he is coming from (though I must confess that I still haven't fully figured it out, other than some vague Hegelian concepts of Big Picture). To take two examples from Western pop culture:
*1. Hamlet: "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy!"* This is obviously self-explanatory, but for those who haven't got it, this means that Mr. Bonilla's actions may seem bizarre, but there is surely a greater logic here. 2. Dilbert's Garbage Man The Garbage Man in Dilbert is the world's most intelligent human. When people wonder why he is a garbage man, they do so without pausing to think that if someone is smarter than them, his decisions may seem incomprehensible to them, but will seem logical to a higher intelligence. Anyway, I look forward to Mr. Bonilla's posts with considerable interest.
