The founder of Mensa, the society for geniuses, recently died in London at the age of 85. A curious society this. “The great idea of the Mensa organisation was that if only it were possible to get together all the most intelligent people in the community, they could have an overwhelming influence for good and social welfare. It has discovered the hard way that high intelligence correlates in no way with good character, emotional stability, personal charisma or understanding of other people. There are just as many nasty as nice intelligent people.” – Sydney Morning Herald
