Then you should have commented on Yvain's post. :)

I've repeatedly heard you say (correct me if this is a misinterpretation) that very smart people are dysfunctional more often than average people. How do you reconcile these views? Does "rationality" default to "rational life behavior" rather than "rational problem-solving"? Would you describe these people as very smart but irrational?

The people we're talking about have partitioned their lives into things they're rational about, and things that they're not. But we all do that to some extent. I think you're saying something like, "Rationality in life decisions improves life performance more than rationality in life decisions improves job performance."
