These can show you the influence upon motivation by early conditioning. They probably had cerebral parents that impressed upon them the desire or rather the style of deep thought. Although these people are ill equipped for 5ness, they cannot get out of this method of going through life. I knew a retarded person who came from an educated and cultured background. His father was a highly regarded judge and his mother an educator. this poor guy wanted to learn everything and actually came up with some brilliant ideas of his own.
