There is a cited link between creativity of genius and genetic mutations linked to psychosis.

It all depends on how that creativity is expressed.
No point in being a manic genius while sitting in your own bedroom.

Says who?

I mean who can define the madness of a genius except another genius. A bunch of trolls in white coats coming to a consensus on a theory or norm is only a definition of their own arrogance laugh

Some people have been seen by his contemporaries as mad or "visionary", but the passing of time has shown that they were simply much more intelligent than their contemporaries.

However I think that perhaps living this situation disordered those "geniuses". It is not easy to live under the taunts of a bunch of idiots

And of course the opposite is also often true. People who are revered as wise and respected and leaders are often later found out to be charlatans and moronic fools.
