Genius and autism are closely linked. Several in this video sounded as if they were on the autistic spectrum. I recognise the symptoms as many match my own character.
I also have a very high IQ, a concept that I feel is overrated. Thankfully, my parents allowed me to live a reasonably normal life, encouraging if I showed an interest, but they never pushed me where I did not want to go. Intelligence can be a burden.
I can, therefore, relate to these people who disappeared or went into hiding because I have always found it difficult to deal with others. These days, there are times when I do not unlock my front door for a week, and then only to take in my grocery delivery. I think that retirement saved my sanity, but I can equally understand the need to escape completely. The older that I get, the less tolerant I have become of others.

Interesting story for you.
My father had an uncle who was exceedingly brilliant. At the age of about 5 he had taught himself how to speak French by listening to the radio (they lived in northern Canada) and also figured out how the language would be written (male and female, verbs, etc) He would also baffle the teacher at his one room school house by looking at the blackboard, and being able to tell the teacher exactly what was written on it after only a quick glance (memorizing whole paragraphs in seconds)
Sadly he grew up in a small isolated community and never got to realize his full potential. He ended up being a recluse without any friends, or wife and eventually died in his early 20s from a likely heart condition.

It isn't an unusual thing for highly intelligent people to want to break from academics! I had a classmate friend of mine I knew from kindergarten all the way through the end of high school and everyone knew he was going to be a major scientist or something like it! Several years later I met him by chance and at that time he was installing linoleum in houses and said he was perfectly happy when I asked him what everyone else had about higher academics! But about ten years later I saw an article about him and got in touch via email and in the last bit of our conversation he excused himself and said he was working on completion of some sort of doctorate!

At some point every genius looks objectively at the mass of idiots they must crawl and share air with upon this happy mud ball, and gets the inevitable existential dread, and must escape it somehow. The mass of idiots of course has no idea. Ewe.
You can bet at least one of them is secretly inventing a button to push that ends all organic life on Earth.
Bwa-ha-ha! maniacal laughter

I can't remember exactly. it was in a science magazine, but there was a scientist (can't remember of what) who went missing because she supposedly discovered something related to cancer and allergies (or some else entirely. This was years ago, so I can't really remember. It might have been Margie Profet but I don't think so.

I always felt Salinger was one of the most overrated authors in American writing. He had one coming of age story that was edgy for the time, but probably wouldn't even be considered by a publisher today because it's just kind of boring. Be honest, he was more known for being a recluse than he was for being an author.

As someone who was forced to endure a Christian home school correspondence course in high school, the only book that was required reading was the Buy-bull. thankfully, it didn't take. I don't view christian mythology any different than any other religious mythology. but I never had to read Catcher In The Rye.

The reason Michelin stars exist was because of their travel guides that encouraged people to drive further than normal to try out different restaurants, wearing down the tires in the process and prompting people to have to replace them more often.

How could you not mention Doctor Gregory House, M. D? He's a board certified diagnostician with a double specialty of infectious disease and nephrology.
He's a world renowned doctor that disappeared under questionable circumstances.

The people ive known who were incredibly intelligent ended up unaliving themselves, thats two people to clarify. I think when you are that incredibly intelligent trying to be around typical humans is nearly impossible to be frank.

The Barbara Follett and Nick Gill cases are my favorite mysterious cases of the video.
In reference to Nick Gill, what would a runway chef even do? Does he have underground ceremonies fit for a king?

Interesting. I'll add French lawyer Jacques Verges 1970 - 1978. He even commented I find it highly amusing that no one, in our modern police state, can figure out where I was for almost 10 years.

Follett was cute. Damn shame. And Profett is absolutely right about periods, they're designed to prepare women for child birth
