In my opinion, there are two reasons for this, and you have to really know someone or pay attention to figure out which one applies. The curse of intelligence leads to two possible outcomes: you see that the world is a miserable, dysfunctional nightmare but are able to will yourself forward and use all of your abilities to pursue a goal you think is important, or you see that the world is a miserable, dysfunctional nightmare and are overcome by this, unable to rally the motivation and overcome the forces arrayed against you to do something.

Smart people realize that even our "best" societies are built around the lowest common denominator. People are fucking idiots, everywhere, in every profession, and you're just lucky if you find one that isn't. Modern civilization has gone out of its way to accommodate these fucking idiots, and it's become the fuel that powers everything. Then on top of this, right beneath the brain-dead McDonald's surface level of society, there is endless suffering, misery, falsity, and injustice, so much that to even try and comprehend its' scale can drive someone fucking mad.
The curse of the high IQ is real, and living for yourself and getting money as OP's pathetic pseudo-intellectual pajeet post said, is a lie.

Real men are faced with a world so thoroughly corrupted that they have no idea how to fight back, if they even see the truth of it in the first place. It's deliberately designed this way.
