The Equality Act should protect Geniuses.

People with an IQ of 140 or above should be able to demand "protection" from the abuse, prejudice, and hostility they are sometimes subjected to by "lesser mortals". The fact that the "rarefied" mindset of geniuses not infrequently leaves them bewildered by the thought processes of the "Common herd" (unless they have specialised in studying how they function) should not be categorised as a "disability" akin to those who are defined as having "learning difficulties". It was said in the late 80's: "People of high intellect who do not receive support from the government are likely to turn to crime". They have.
