    I know a few people closely that I’d consider a genius. I only know one that went into a field where their genius mattered. He changed fundamentals of microbiology. One high school dropout, one just surviving and making decent money doing whatever they try.

      That’d be one more than I know, if we don’t count relatives.

      One high school dropout,

      My tribe.

      That actually sounds nice.
