Slashdot Comments | Depression May Provide Cognitive Advantages
"I agree with this. In terms of getting pure enjoyment and satisfaction out of life I think it's much better be a little dim and therefore not be able to see all the problems. I see a ton of people like this in my day to day work and since they have a narrower view of the world (who knows if this is actually less intelligence or not though I often interpret it that way) they are much happier. They have their huge house, they love mowing their yard, they have a cusshy job doing very little somewhere, everything is OK with them so the world must be great. (Too bad they are also the ones in charge most of the time.)"
I agree! Last time we met, I was thinking that I wish I were as dumb as you. Sure, you're smarter than a lot of people (and therefore moderately happy) but if I had your meager intelligence, I would be so much happier than I am now.
