Chapter 2039: Being Locked up (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! Please Subscribe!! Please Recommend!)

Strange is a very, very proud person.

He is even so proud that he is annoying. In life, Strange is more annoying than Tony. No one likes him. Really, even though he is a surgical expert and the remuneration for one operation is at least seven figures, no one can stay by his side because he is too annoying. Even his team tries to avoid any private contact with him because they are afraid that they will not be able to help but beat him up... However, most geniuses have some problems. The reason why geniuses are geniuses is that they must be different from ordinary people. Not only in terms of brain, thinking, talent, etc., but also in terms of personality and psychology, they often produce a morbid performance different from ordinary people. If you don't believe it, then you will definitely be convinced after reading the experiences of the following dozen geniuses.

Extremely smart people are extremely crazy.

In the early 20th century, psychologist Havelock Ellis analyzed the life histories of 1,030 outstanding people in British history and found that these people had a higher prevalence of emotional disorders: 4.2% of people showed manic symptoms at some time in their lives, and 8.3% showed depression. (Note: Affective disorders mainly include "depression" and "depression + mania" bipolar disorder.)

Clinical psychologist Nancy C. Anderson tracked 30 outstanding writers for 15 years in the 1970s and 1980s. During these years, 24 of them suffered from at least one affective disorder (80%), and even their relatives were more likely to suffer from affective disorders than the normal population. Other researchers interviewed 47 top British artists and writers, and their probability of suffering from affective disorders was 5 to 6 times that of the general population. A large sample study of 1.17 million people in Sweden found that people in creative industries were significantly more likely to suffer from bipolar disorder than the general population. Moreover, first-degree relatives of patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, as well as brothers and sisters of patients with autism, often perform better in creative industries.

Among them, the most serious and famous genius with mental illness is Van Gogh.

Van Gogh did many weird things in his life that were beyond the understanding of ordinary people, such as cutting off his left ear and locking himself in a mental hospital. Romain Rolland, a famous French writer who won the Nobel Prize for Literature, hand-picked three celebrities: Beethoven, Michelangelo, and Tolstoy, all of whom have eccentric personalities and abnormal behaviors.

Beethoven is a typical patient with bipolar disorder, and his manic episodes inject unique passion into his music.

Michelangelo is a patient with Asperger's syndrome (a high-functioning autism). He is immersed in his own world and admires himself. He is almost an idiot in language and social interaction.

Tolstoy is more normal, but his paternal family has a history of mental illness. He himself began to show some symptoms of depression in his middle and late years and attempted suicide.

Both US President Lincoln and British Prime Minister Churchill suffered from depression. Psychologists believe that their political rationality and accurate judgment of reality are related to depression. Lincoln would make clippings of the words praising him in the newspaper and carry them with him. Whenever he felt frustrated and couldn't hold on, he would take them out and read them to cheer himself up.

Writers are also a high-risk group for mental disorders.

There is a kind of suicide called Japanese writers. Among the outstanding writers in Japan in the 20th century, dozens of them chose to end their lives by suicide, including the leading figures: Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Osamu Dazai, Yukio Mishima, Yasunari Kawabata, etc. Most of their works reveal obvious depression. (These people really like to commit suicide...)

Andersen, who wrote fairy tales, suffered from generalized anxiety disorder and lived in worry all the time. He was worried that he would get sick, worried about a sudden fire or shipwreck, worried about missing the train, worried about losing important documents, worried about not taking the medicine according to the dosage, and worried about putting the letter in the wrong envelope.

Andersen's good friend Dickens was an obsessive-compulsive disorder patient. He combed his hair no less than a hundred times a day, moved the furniture in his home countless times, and the bed had to be placed in the right south and right north. Andersen, who was unkempt, almost killed the obsessive-compulsive disorder by staying in his home for a long time. After the other party left, he breathed a sigh of relief and wrote on the mirror in the guest room: Hans Christian Andersen slept in this room for five weeks, which seems to be as long as the room is old.

Scientists are naturally not immune to this.

Biologist Darwin suffered from severe anxiety and phobia. Since the age of 30, he often had strange physical symptoms such as convulsions, nausea, and crying. Although he knew many doctor friends, no one could diagnose what disease he had. His anxiety led to hypochondriasis, and he also had very serious agoraphobia and moved because of it.

Mathematician Kurt Gödel had serious persecution delusions before his death. He always suspected that there were unruly people who wanted to poison him. Because he did not trust others' care, he eventually died of malnutrition caused by hunger strike. John Nash, who won the Nobel Prize in Economics, also suffered from schizophrenia. His deeds were later adapted into the Oscar-winning film "A Beautiful Mind".

Why are creative talents in the literary and artistic circles more likely to suffer from mental disorders, especially emotional disorders? There is a hypothesis in current psychiatric research: the human brain has two modes, rational and emotional. Only individuals with balanced development of the two modes can show better adaptability. When reason is very strong and emotions are completely suppressed, a person may have strong systematic thinking ability, but will have difficulty processing emotional or social-related information, showing emotional apathy and social avoidance. This is the case for autistic patients. They prefer to get along with objects and have strong thinking and analytical skills, but they are afraid to look at people because the complex information conveyed by human expressions will confuse and frighten them.

When emotions suppress reason, a person is more sensitive to emotional and social information, has stronger language and social skills, but has poor systematic thinking, is prone to losing control of his emotions, and is more prone to emotional behaviors. Emotional disorder manifests itself to the extreme.

In fact, Strange is pretty good, he is just extremely picky and has a strong mysophobia.

But this has become intolerable.

Of course, the most important thing is his mouth... This guy's mouth is even more poisonous than Tony's. Although Tony's mouth is poisonous, generally speaking, he only tells people some jokes that he thinks are funny, to embarrass everyone, or to despise others. IQ, and even do some self-centered humorous pranks in a bad way.

But Strange is different, he is a venomous snake.

Many intern doctors regard joining Strange's team as going to hell... This guy hates unprofessional people very much, but according to his professional standards, basically more than 90% of qualified doctors will be eliminated, so So far, with the exception of two senior nurses and an anesthetist, the turnover in other positions on his team is frighteningly high.

They were all scolded.

He will say the most vicious words in the calmest tone...

In fact, generally speaking, intern doctors who work under an attending physician or a doctor with a higher professional title will be scolded and made things difficult... After all, being a doctor is not an easy job, and people's lives are at stake. Who is willing to play with a bunch of rookies? ?

So many formal doctors are impatient with intern doctors. Any intern doctor will be prepared for this in advance.

There are a lot of things for an intern doctor. You need to do everything you should and should not do. If you don't be active, how can you learn real things? You also need to memorize and prepare for the exam. In short, intern doctors are already under a lot of pressure.

But Strange... it was too much.

So his popularity is not good, and of course Strange doesn't care. In his opinion, as long as he has good skills, that's enough! Nothing else matters.

That's why Strange was hit so hard after the car accident.

Others encountered such serious car accidents and were thankful to God for surviving. It was just that their hands were not flexible and they could tremble uncontrollably. It didn't matter. It doesn't even affect daily life. But for Strange, this is worse than killing him. After all, what he is most proud of and cares about in his life is his own skills.

Of course, since studying under Karma Taj, Strange has cultivated his moral character and become less venomous, but he is still as proud as ever. There is no way, genius is a genius everywhere.

There is nothing a true genius cannot learn as long as he wants to learn.

Strange's decision to abandon medicine and follow law is also resounding.

While the other mages went to fight against the monsters from another dimension, he hid in his nest like a quail... He didn't want to.

It's not that he likes fighting with monsters from other dimensions... he's not a fighting maniac. If possible, he would rather be peaceful. But you can't treat them differently. Everyone went to work hard and left me alone at home... This is something only a coward would like.

Strange asked himself if he was a coward.

Although he is not a saint, as a member of Kama Taj, it is his responsibility, and he has never thought of escaping.

Being treated differently made him very uncomfortable.

"The temple is very important. If the temple is destroyed again... even Teacher Gu Yi will suffer."

Mordo is a very stubborn and rigid person, and no one except Gu Yi can make him change his mind. The Supreme Mage is very important, both to the earth and to Kamal Taj. Without a qualified helmsman, it will be a disaster.

Therefore, every Supreme Mage will be very, very careful in choosing people. Even if he suffers to death, he will not choose people casually.

In Modu's opinion, Strange's talent is extremely outstanding, at least better than his own. He is the best candidate to succeed the Supreme Mage. If something unexpected happens, then Gu Yi really doesn't know when he will be relieved from his suffering.

Of course Modu doesn't want Gu Yi to die... But the problem is that for a long time, it is definitely the most terrible torture for the Supreme Mage.

Others wish they could live longer, but for the Supreme Mage, it is best to live as short a time as possible. After all, taking on a great guardianship and fighting against demons from other dimensions are not easy tasks. Everything will be tortured all the time. With the Supreme Master himself.

The Great Guardian can protect the entire earth, so you can imagine how terrifying its power is.

And when such power is exerted on a person... most people can't even imagine how much pressure this person needs to bear.

Modu didn't know it before.

It wasn't until Gu Yi fully explained some things that Modu realized that the Supreme Mage was not a position that represented glory and power, but a responsibility that could crush people.

Death is the best reward.

It was also from this moment that Mordo had a different understanding of the term Supreme Sorcerer.

"Anyway, you just need to guard this place. I'm leaving first."

Mordo knew that he would never be Strange's opponent in his life in terms of talking. So he just ran away.

When he left, he did not forget to lock up the entire temple space.

In this way, Strange could not run away.

Of course, if Strange could run out, it means that he does not need protection. At least Strange is much stronger than Mordo, so he does not need protection.

"Damn it!!!"

Strange has no choice. He is really not Mordo's opponent now.

Yes, Mordo has been with Ancient One for at least a hundred years. If Strange can catch up with him in a few years... then Mordo might as well return to the secular world and be a rich man, why bother learning magic!

Strange can only wander around in this huge New York Temple... The New York Temple is very big, very big.

It is about the same size as the Metropolitan Museum of Art. There are many strange magic items on display, some of which are even artifacts. Some of these magic items were made by Kamar-Taj over the years. They have various functions. You can never guess how many brain holes these wizards have opened up over the years.

Some are collected from all over the world.

In addition to being made by wizards, the biggest source of magic items is self-generation.

This world is very strange. Although the extraordinary is not obvious, sometimes accidents always happen.

For example, there is an electric chair here, which comes from Sing Sing Prison. Sing Sing Prison, a state prison in New York State, is one of the first three prisons in the United States to use electric chairs to execute people. Since 1890, a total of 200 prisoners have been executed on this electric chair, so it has some kind of superpowers. It allows people to experience death, sit on it, and then be electrocuted, and your soul can leave your body. Of course, if no one saves you, then you really die. Then you become a ghost... Yes, the kind of ghost you imagine.

This thing is not man-made at all... At least not intentionally man-made, but because of killing too many people, this thing has magical powers.

This thing is useless to the wizard, but it cannot be ignored. After all, the souls of people who died in the electric chair are immortal and will become ghosts, endangering ordinary people. The Star Prison was a famous spiritual holy place in the past. Many people have seen ghosts, and many people died inexplicably. In order to avoid causing more trouble, Kamar-Taj recovered this thing.

There are many similar things.
