/sci/ - Science & Math

Hello fellow /v/iking. Would you kindly tell the mods over there to go fuck themselves? Apparently creating non-trolling vidya threads is now a bannable offense.

/sci/, how do you deal with people that are a lot smarter than you? I'm not an idiot, I went to uni and got a decent job doing programming. My best friend works at a hedge fund, and he is(i'd only admit this online) extremely clever. Sometimes I think people like that are working on another level. Is the difference between people really that big? I know some of you guys are really smart, maybe you can shine some light on this.
