You’ve mistaken what your brain is good at for the totality of reality.

This is especially true for brilliant people. When your brain is exceptionally good at a certain set of things, or when your brain is remarkable at focus or detail, then you lose perspective on all the things that your brain doesn’t want to focus on.

Brilliant people are rarely “wrong”, but they are often too narrow.
