Man Rain

This phenomenon is quite amazing and sad at the same time. On the one hand he has so much brain capacity and power that he can crunch numbers and memorizations in seconds. On the other hand, he cannot perform simple functions like dressing himself or fixing himself breakfast. It makes you wonder whether you would want to be blessed with such analytic abilities if you had to pay the price of not being able to perform simple, everyday tasks? What do you think?

No, I would never be willing to sacrifice doing the simple things in life like brushing my own teeth and feeding my self. I would love to have that kind of brain capacity, but its not worth being reliant on someone else for the rest of my life. It is sad to see that he probably doesn't even know that he is so intelligent either. He just knows he has to crunch numbers, he even feels compelled according to the research.
