The burden of being a person with high intelligence:
“I’ve got to figure stuff out because it’s not like there are other people out there who are going to figure all this stuff out.”
Advice from Steve Jobs for naming a product: Take the generic word of the product and romanticize it
Measuring how smart people are is somewhat pointless – intelligence is categorical. Somebody can be super good at analytical ‘figuring out stuff,’ and super useless at conceptualizing what to do next.
“People tell me, ‘You’re so smart about this or that thing.’ To me, that’s not what it feels like. I’m always trying to figure out things that are difficult for me to figure out. Maybe some of those things are really difficult for other people to figure out, but I’m always struggling to figure stuff out.” – Stephen Wolfram
