“I think I think harder, think more than other people do, than other scientists.”

Context: I've been asked from time to time, "How does it happen that you have made so many discoveries? Are you smarter than other scientists?" And my answer has been that I am sure that I am not smarter than other scientists. I don't have any precise evaluation of my IQ, but to the extent that psychologists have said that my IQ is about 160, I recognize that there are one hundred thousand or more people in the United States that have IQs higher than that. So I have said that I think I think harder, think more than other people do, than other scientists. That is, for years, almost all of my thinking was about science and scientific problems that I was interested in.

“"I don't want to! Why should I?"
"Because more people will be happier if you do than if you don't."

"You should."
"But why?"
"Because more people will be happier if you do than if you don't."”
