That’s the an odd thing to say. Often very intelligent people want to be around other very intelligent people. In the long term, anyway, as friends and partners.

“We need to rediscover a sacred truth that neither conflicts with reason nor oppresses the individual and then to make that understanding the basis of a spiritualized politics. In other words, we need a nonsacerdotal, nonsectarian, nontheological, nontribal religious worldview that is compatible with science and that provides personal orientation, moral guidance, and a framework for public order without imposing dogmas that must be believed or priests who must be obeyed.47 The eventual outcome might be a kind of Confucianism, Taoism, or Stoicism for the postmechanical age.”
Patrick Ophuls, Plato's Revenge: Politics in the Age of Ecology

“We call someone who is not in control of their mind insane. What do we call someone who is not in control of their attention, which is the gateway to the mind?”
Tiago Forte, Design Your Work: Praxis Volume 1

Bob Woodward
“Nobody believes—even the people who believe in him somehow believe in him without believing what he says.”
Bob Woodward, Rage

“He’s the kind of person that would inspire crazy people.”
Bob Woodward, Rage

Albert Camus
“Nonetheless, he knew that the tale he had to tell could not be one of a final victory. It could be only the record of what had had to be done, and what assuredly would have to be done again in the never ending fight against terror and its relentless onslaughts, despite their personal afflictions, by all who, while unable to be saints but refusing to bow down to pestilences, strive their utmost to be healers.”
Albert Camus, The Plague
