I am not a superior performer just really good with math, code, design, etc. No genius here.

bitmask and RV Pundit can tell us about superior performance and genius respectively.

My dissertation professor did pot. He was really clever, like almost a genius. Most of the "genius" academic and entrepreneur types do. I just don't like the title as it implies one didn't work hard to accomplish stuff. Most achievers - say my favorite Musk - he's just genuinely creative and passionate. He does  seem off at times. Folks like Nikola Tesla and Tom Edison - if you read up - had psycotic or neurological symptoms like OCD or bipolar - that rather than a handicap are a mental optmization or calibrated efficiencies for superior performance. How I know this is besides these stars my supervisor claimed he had panic disorder so the pot calmed him down. The man is a wizard in applied statistics. We struck a friendship cause he thought I  was "different" and worth his study. As in once I started my MS I discovered the topics were trivial and completed them at once in  2 sems then got on with  the PhD. Whileas I thought he was a lonely cartoon and milked his worth cracking CV, my pet subject.

Thank-you for sharing. I know more non genius in society suffering from drug addiction, pot etc.maybe for geniuses they get mental imbalances from so much concentration so need stimulants to keep calm. But I do know very smart people who are blessed with natural stimulants and can keep calm without pot. I'm happy to hear you don't take adderall & just blessed with natural stimulants.

Veritas,
Excuse my wondering mind - for some time I thought "superior performance" in terms of sexual prowess.
Enjoy your brain performance. :)
