One of the funny things about being a scientific researcher is that, however high your IQ may be, you wind up feeling incredibly stupid on a regular basis. You may find yourself thinkin about the same thing over and over again, for months or years on end, without making any progress at all. Then, when you get the answer, it often seems completely obvious and you can't understand how you could have been so moronic as to not see it earlier. Then you go out into the world of odrinary, non-scientific people, and you realize: "Wait a minute, I'm actually fairly intelligent compared to a lot of other peple! I'm not such and idiot after all! This research is just really, really hard for the measly three-pound human brain."
I'm making my thesis about cyberculture in our nowadays... my career: Communication Sciences. I'm almost done with it.
