With rather extraordinary powers...

which are the result of education. Marvelous. IMO, of course.

Normal old human beings do things like carry plates to folks in a restaurant, and driver street sweepers, and empty garbage cans, and bag your groceries, and sell insurance- very important jobs, to be sure, but most people can do them. Not all normal old human beings have the minds to be good at science, and most people on the planet who live now or who ever lived don't have the minds to be an Oppenheimer an Einstein a Newton or a Hawking. That's just the way it is. Normal the greatest scientists are not, and scientists in general don't strike me as much like the "normal" population- if you measured their IQ's I bet you'd find they deviate a bit from the "average" (normal) IQ of 100. That in itself would make them different from normal.
