re: #55 Obdicut
Well, most of the world-class scientists I’ve met have also been perfectly competent in ordinary life.
The cliche of a scientist who can’t do anything else really is just noticeable because otherwise, those kind of people would be unremarkable.
It could also be that as a creative person, I attract those people into my life.
I’m often the most function person in the group and the least intelligent or accomplished.
