Intelligence correlates highly with virginity. Most NPCs are dull and follow biological instinct. This is why the average person is intellectually dull. Eventually you'll get the odd genius that is smart enough and breaks through biological instinct but in doing so fails to pass on his genius genes. Life effectively filters out intelligence for unquestioning automata.

actually it's another case of the midwit phenomenon. Retards follow instinct and have lots of children (although many of them died before the welfare state was established). Successful men are able to control themselves and they want to leave a legacy, so they also have many children. It's the midwits who have some flaw which prevents them from mastering themselves who are unable or too afraid to have children. They convince themselves that they can't breed, so they don't.

It's only the extreme autists like tesla and newton who often don't have children because they are so wrapped up in their work.

Opportunity and extreme persistence, the kind of work ethic most people don't have.
There was a pandemic of the plague back then so he had to the opportunity to study math during the 2 year lockdown from Descartes La Geometrie w/commentary by Van Schooten which was an enormous two volume book.

One of his analysis inventions was by mistake, he misunderstood Descartes thinking the answer to something could be found using a method in the book so tried it himself and couldn't figure it out, stayed with the problem for weeks and developed an entire analysis that answered that problem using math 200 years ahead of the book he developed.
He also panicked when publishing the Principia that the analysis relied on infinitesimals which were unproven at the time, so invented the idea of a limit using geometry and proved everything in the book that way. He accomplished this working all day everyday and hardly ever taking a break to eat or even bathe.

>Die a virgin
This is unlikely because Newton later became a multi millionaire while running the London Mint he probably got some discreet pussy but wouldn't be the type to write about this in any of his notebooks and most of his friends were scientists he corresponded with remotely so they wouldn't know either. His religious views were considered heretical being that he denounced the trinity and he dabbled in alchemy, both these things were kept hidden in his real life and even after for decades so no reason to believe he didn't have a secret life of banging 17th century thots

He did lose money https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsnr.2018.0018 but he died super rich anyway even after getting fleeced. It's prob impossible for us to understand just how rich he was, in his century the yearly wage of an East India Company sailor was 12 pounds, a lucrative job, and he died with 30,000 pounds or the combined yearly wages of 2500 sailors.

He was 78 years old when the south sea bubble collapsed, by which point he was likely mercury poisoned from experiments in chemistry. The fact that you are trying to exaggerate such a trivial sidenote from the end of his life is pretty hilarious. He was one of the greatest geniuses in history, while you are coping midwit.
