      1. most of the cast of Arrested Development
      2. the movie: Idiocracy
      3. lots of examples, let’s go with Alan Turing or Richard Feynman

        1. I somewhat disagree, I think a lot of real smart people overestimate idiots.
        2. Yup
        3. Alan Turing is my guy! Always remember the British government did him dirty for being gay. Shame on you, British gov.

        i’d nominate Ramanujan as the geniuses’ genius: he had basically no formal education on mathematics, and yet he solved problems that the rest of the world collectively couldn’t crack.
