What ever happened to the kids in your class that were "scary smart"?

We had 3-ish in my high school class and as far as I know, they all went into super nerd science and&#x2F;or developed&#x2F;expressed psychiatric issues.<p>Considering that some fellow classmates (who were smart enough to be in class with the scary smart) and I regularly gritch to each other that people want to engage in discussion but refuse to read long emails or otherwise educate themselves about the topics at hand, I can only imagine how annoying it must be for the scary-smart to slow down to deal with an average life or professional conversation about meaty topics where facts and reasoning are involved.
