This chapter is called "The Trouble With Geniuses, Part 2." Chris Langan had a bad childhood. He went to Reed University with a scholarship but lose it when his mom forgot to sign a paper. Then, he went to Montana State but dropped out. He had trouble with school and society. Then, the author compares Chris with Robert Oppenheimer. They both had trouble in school. Oppenheimer tried to poison his tutor. However, Oppenheimer was discovered. Intelligence is 50% inherited. Also, poor kids are more shy. Chris and Oppenheimer both grew up poor. Not all geniuses become big shots. Some are just awkward.
To be honest, I didn't like this chapter. It was boring.
