Title
The difficulties of being gifted: An insider's view
Abstract
In a profound reflection, today, at the age of 50 and in all sincerity, I am convinced that my entire life I have only focused on one thing that has been in the least bit useful or transcendental to me, and that one thing is consciousness. I consider that I spent at least 40 years of my life in an unconscious state, before I discovered that intelligence is not equivalent to consciousness, and that intelligence, like science and technology, is innocuous in its essence. Rather, it is the level of consciousness of those who possess such intelligence that makes them virtuous or perverse, as is the case for those influenced by them.
