I have had the privilege of raising a hill builder and I'm having fun watching no matter whether failure or success is the outcome each time. One thing I didn't realize would be important that has turned out to be was ignoring social climbing or wealth competition. As in, just because you could hang out with X crowd doesn't mean you should or that you even want to. I wonder what makes some people impervious to those trappings. Laziness or just an aversion to fakery? One thing I'll say about genius level humans that seems to be a condition for a high iq is a bit of madness. Anxiety, depression, bipolar mania - these seem to be the price to pay.
