Strange is a very, very proud man.
Even proud to the point of being annoying, Strange is even more annoying than Tony in life. 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, which often produce a morbid performance different from ordinary people. If you don't believe it, then after reading the experiences of the following dozen geniuses, you will definitely be convinced.
Extremely smart people are extremely crazy.
In the early 20th century, psychologist Havelock Ellis analyzed the life histories of 1030 outstanding people in British history and found that these people had a high prevalence of affective disorders: 4.2% of them showed manic symptoms at some point in their lives, and 8.3% showed depressive tendencies. (Note: affective disorders mainly include "depression" and "depression + mania" bipolar disorder.)
Clinical psychologist Nancy C. Anderson tracked 70 outstanding writers for 80 years in the 30s and 15s. During these years, 24 of them suffered from at least one emotional disorder (80%), and even their relatives were more likely to suffer from emotional disorders than the normal population. Other researchers interviewed 47 top British artists and writers, and found that their probability of suffering from emotional disorders was 5 to 6 times that of the general population. A large sample study of 117 million people in Sweden found that people working 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 was Van Gogh.
Van Gogh did many strange things in his life that were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, such as cutting off his left ear and locking himself up 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 had strange personalities and abnormal behaviors.
Beethoven was a typical patient with bipolar disorder, and his manic episodes injected a 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 is almost an idiot in language and social skills.
Tolstoy was more normal, but his paternal family had a history of mental illness. He himself began to show some symptoms of depression in his middle and late years and attempted suicide.
Both American 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 praises from newspapers 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: Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Dazai Osamu, Mishima Yukio, Kawabata Yasunari, etc. Most of their works reveal obvious depression tendencies. (These people really like suicide...)
Andersen, who wrote fairy tales, suffered from generalized anxiety disorder and lived in anxiety all the time. He was worried that he would get sick, that there would be a sudden fire or shipwreck, that he would miss the train, that he would lose important documents, that he would not take the medicine according to the dosage, and that he would put the letter in the wrong envelope.
Andersen's good friend Dickens was an obsessive-compulsive disorder patient. He combed his hair no less than 100 times a day, moved the furniture in his home countless times, and the bed had to be placed in the right direction. The unkempt Andersen's long stay in his home almost drove the obsessive-compulsive disorder patient to death. 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 house.
Scientists are naturally no exception.
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 a very serious agoraphobia and moved because of it.
Mathematician Kurt Gödel had severe paranoia before his death. He always suspected that someone was poisoning him. Because he did not trust others to take care of him, 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 people in the literary and artistic circles more prone to mental disorders, especially emotional disorders? There is a hypothesis in current psychiatric research: the human brain has two modes, rational and emotional, and individuals with balanced development of the two modes can show better adaptability. When reason is very strong and completely suppresses emotions, a person may have strong systematic thinking ability, but when processing emotional or social information, they will have difficulties and show emotional indifference and social avoidance. This is the case with autistic patients. They prefer to get along with objects and have strong thinking and analytical abilities, but they dare not look people in the eye because the complex information conveyed by human expressions will confuse them and make them feel scared.
When emotions suppress reason, a person becomes more sensitive to emotions and social information, has stronger language and social skills, but has poor systematic thinking, is prone to losing control of emotions, and is more likely to exhibit emotional behavior. Extreme emotionality is called emotional disorder.
In fact, Strange is not bad, he is just extremely picky and has a strong obsession with cleanliness.
But this is no longer intolerable.
Of course the most important thing is his mouth... This guy's mouth is more poisonous than Tony's. Although Tony has a poisonous mouth, generally speaking, he will only tell people some jokes that he thinks are funny, making everyone embarrassed, or despise other people's IQ, or even do some self-proclaimed humorous pranks with a bad taste.
But Strange is different, he is the Viper.
Many interns regard joining Strange's team as going to hell... This guy hates unprofessional people, but according to his professional standards, basically more than 90% of qualified doctors will be eliminated, so so far, except for two senior nurses and an anesthesiologist, the turnover rate of other positions in his team is frighteningly high.
They were all scolded.
He would say the most vicious words in the most calm tone...
In fact, generally speaking, interns working under attending physicians or doctors with higher professional titles will be scolded and bullied... After all, being a doctor is not an easy job, and human lives are at stake. Who the hell would be willing to play with a bunch of rookies?
Therefore, many regular doctors are impatient with interns. Any intern should be prepared for this.
There are a lot of things to do as an intern. You need to do everything, including what you should do and what you shouldn't do. If you are not proactive, how can you learn real things? You also need to memorize and prepare for exams. In short, the pressure on interns is already high.
But Strange...it was really too much.
So his popularity is not good, of course Strange doesn't care, in his opinion, as long as his skills are good, that's enough! Nothing else matters.
That's why Strange was so devastated after the car accident.
Others who were in such a serious car accident would be thankful to survive, just their hands were not flexible and they could not control the shaking, which was nothing. It could not even affect their daily life. But for Strange, this was better than taking his life, after all, what he was most proud of and cared about in his life was his skills.
Of course, since he became a student of Kamar-Taj, Strange has become more self-disciplined and less venomous, but he is still as proud as ever. There is no way around it, a genius is a genius no matter where he is.
A true genius can learn anything as long as he wants to learn.
Strange gave up medicine to pursue law, which is also a well-known fact.
While other wizards went to fight monsters from other dimensions, he hid in his nest like a quail... He didn't want to.
It's not that he likes fighting monsters from other dimensions... He's not a battle maniac. If possible, he would rather be peaceful. But you can't treat them differently. Everyone goes out to fight, leaving me alone at home... This is something that only cowards would like.
Strange asked himself that he was not a coward.
Although he is not a saint, as a member of Kamar-Taj, it is his responsibility and he has never thought of escaping it.
He felt very uncomfortable being treated differently like this.
"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 can change his mind except the Ancient One. The Sorcerer Supreme is very important, both to the Earth and Kamar-Taj. Without a qualified helmsman, it would be a disaster.
Therefore, every Supreme Mage will be very cautious in selecting people, and will not choose anyone casually even if it means suffering for himself.
In Mordo's opinion, Strange's talent is extremely outstanding, at least better than his own. He is the best candidate to inherit the Supreme Sorcerer. If something unexpected happens, then it is really unknown when the suffering of the Ancient One can be relieved.
Of course Mordo doesn't want Ancient One to die...but the problem is that a long period of time is definitely the most terrible torture for the Sorcerer Supreme.
Others would wish to live longer, but for the Sorcerer Supreme, it is best to live as short a time as possible. After all, taking on the great responsibility of guarding and fighting against demons from other dimensions are not easy tasks, and each of them will torture the Sorcerer Supreme himself all the time.
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 cannot even imagine how much pressure this person has to bear.
Mordo didn’t know this before.
It was not until Ancient One explained some things to Mordo completely that he realized that the Sorcerer Supreme was not a position that represented glory and power, but a responsibility that could crush a person.
Death is the best reward.
It was also from this moment that Mordo had a different understanding of the term "Supreme Sorcerer".
"Anyway, just guard this place. I'm leaving first."
Mordo knew that he would never be Strange's opponent in terms of talking, so he simply ran away.
When he left, he did not forget to lock up the entire temple space.
This way Strange can't escape.
Of course, if Strange could get out, it would mean that he didn't need protection. At least Strange was much stronger than Mordo, so he didn't need protection.
"Damn!!!"
Strange was helpless, he was really no match for Mordo right now.
That's right, 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 become a rich man instead of learning magic!
Strange could only wander around in this huge New York Temple... The New York Temple was big, very big.
It is about the same size as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and it displays many strange and bizarre magic items, some of which are even artifacts. Some of these magic items were made by Kamar-Taj himself over the years, and they have various functions. You can never guess how many imaginations these wizards have opened over the years.
Others are collected from all over the world.
Besides being created by mages, the biggest source of magic items is self-generation.
This world is very strange. Although the extraordinary is not obvious, accidents always happen sometimes.
For example, here is an electric chair from Sing Sing Prison. Sing Sing 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, 200 prisoners have been executed in this electric chair, so it has some kind of supernatural power. 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. It's just that too many people have been killed, which has given it 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.
