You can still find yourself ostracized. The world's smartest man has far fewer potential conversational partners than the world's averagest man or many of its dumber men. If he's also the world's most emotionally intelligent, he has neither conversation partners, nor people who can understand and connect on the level he can, etc...

It just gets more and more isolating, at some point.
