    a) climb out
    b) keep digging.

    b is the answer only an idiot would take and that is exactly what you are doing.

    I think one can be academically bright but stupid in other ways yes. Would you rather be a Nobel laureate who had no common sense or a street wise sharp as a tack, toilet cleaner?

    See Cipolla's Laws of Stupidity.

    Whenever I analyzed the blue-collar workers I found that the fraction s of them were stupid. As s's value was higher that I expected (First Law), paying my tribute to fashion I thought at first that segregation, poverty, lack of education were to be blamed. But moving up the social ladder I found that the same ratio was prevalent among the white collar employees and among the students. More impressive still were the results among the professors. Whether I considered a large university or a small college, a famous institution or an obscure one, I found that the same fraction s of the professors are stupid. So bewildered was I by the results, that I made a special point to extend my research to a specially selected group, to a real elite, the Nobel laureates. The result confirmed Nature's supreme powers: s fraction of the Nobel Laureates are stupid.

    If you have such a high IQ why don't you understand why everyone thinks you're an idiot?
