It's what society wants us to do these days. We are fed lies by the media, brainwashed by many, and reminded that Immediate gratification is the only way to attain things these days. The successors are those who choose to move beyond the boundaries society enforces and actively use their IQ for beneficial means.

True, but most high-IQ types see through that. Their invisibility is emblematic I think of something else: smart people hide from an insane world.

The desire and thirst for knowledge supersedes any potential one may have for attaining such knowledge.

I believe this is the most important trait an individual can have.

If the individual isn't intelligent enough to make sense of that knowledge, they will just get it wrong.
