Yes, probably. But I think it's more than that. It's the idea that unique experiences provide unique insights-- a value that is very much in disrepute these days. I'm not a big fan of being asked to accept and act on ideas that are considered "woo" these days. However, much of my life is enriched by the people who hold those ideas: artists, musicians, poets, etc.

I also knew a schizophrenic guy who had (I'm guessing) about a 160 IQ. Talk about challenging assumptions. Smile
