For starters, smart peeople seem like crazy people to dumb people and you can easily see that a career in psychology/psichiatry would be more appealing to a dumb person than anyone else, so...

The brain is constantly analyzing inputs, attempting to make connections between things and trying to find danger to increase chances of survival. IQ measures the ability to analyze and make connections quickly, so high IQ brains are primed to look for more and increasingly abstract negatives at a faster pace, which leads to a poorer mood. Even when all your physical needs are accounted for, the brain is still in overdrive trying to find something that is wrong

People who self identify as being fantastically intelligent, but who are unable to fulfill the promises of their self-identified superiority are bound to suffer a lot of frustration. Blame for the lack success proportional to the magnificent size of their imagined enormous brains inevitably falls irrationally on those with "lesser intelligence" who should be able to be outwitted and manipulated easily by any true gigabrain

you're a person with a diseased brain, who irrationally presumes that having a mental disease does not impair mental function.
if you had a damaged or ill leg, would it reduce your running ability? same goes for ill brains, mental processes are retarded by the disease or injury.

Reality is maddening and painful, the more you try to know about it, the more traumatized it makes you, the less you know about it, the more pain you are likely to encounter.

Because it's incredibly lonely being smart unless you live in a big city surrounded by other smart people. People are boring and have dog shit opinions. Nobody is actually interested in anything. So you do plasma physics alone in your garage.
