Talentierte Menschen werden diskriminiert

Je intelligenter ein Individuum ist, desto unterschiedlicher ist er charakterlich im Vergleich zu anderen.

In simple terms, the more limited the mental capacity or the lower the IQ, the more similarities will be apparent between individuals. It's easy to understand why this is so. In the normal range of intelligence (into which approximately 90% of the population falls) there are many different mental abilities widely and variously distributed. Consequently, within the broad limits of "normality" there are many and obvious individual variations. Most of the individual differences between people are therefore taken as just that -- individual differences -- unrelated to mental capacity.

Many gifted adults seem to know very little about their minds and how
they differ from more "ordinary" minds. The result of this lack of
self-knowledge is often low, sometimes cripplingly low self esteem. Most
have never been formally identified as gifted, and even those who have
may disbelieve the identification or have difficulty incorporating it
into their sense of themselves.

Though women are particularly hard-pressed in our culture to recognize
and fully utilize unusual intelligence, uncertainty about gifts can
affect both males and females, especially those who are not recognized
as intellectual achievers. Strangely, even among men and women who are
recognized achievers, the "impostor-syndrome" is widely reported. These
people go along routinely doing what few others can do, all the while
dreading the moment when the world will find them out and discover that
they are the fakes they believe themselves to be.

In unserer Gesellschaft werden Intelligente Menschen jedoch nicht als "talentiert" o.ä. angesehen, sondern vielmehr nur als "anders", da sie sich aus der dumpfen Masse hervorragen. Idiokratie.
