Say you are the smartest person ever. You know of how tiny possibility of finding life in space; nature would eventually win or die vs human input (tampering with natural selection); how many in the world are starving; how little we still actually know about everything. Would the value of bettering your species be worth the stress of knowledge?

you can be dumb and happy, but can you be smart and really happy?

It would really depend on the person on being happy. I like reading, and learning and I'm happy because I am learning, but that just me.

Talking about super IQ like 300! Go to wikipedia, searh for young prodigy, They have IQ 200+, can speak more than 50 languages, professor before their 20's but I don't know if they are happy or not, I never met them.

Why? You deserve it? perhaps you don't like the 'aparazzi effect'?
Yep, it is your choice to become
