为什么美国如此富裕和强大？心理学家John Gartner认为，答案就隐藏在我们的基因之中。轻度狂躁症（Hypomania）是一种基于遗传的轻型躁狂状态，它赋予了我们当中许多人非同寻常的精力、创造力、热情以及冒险倾向。美国拥有数量极其庞大的轻躁狂者——他们是雄心勃勃的空想家，会扑向自己想出的每一个古怪念头，并深信其能改变世界。市场泡沫和有失考虑的狂热救世运动或许是其负面代价，但就惊人的创业热情、创新驱动力而言，它所带来的巨大益处也无可估量

……尤其是在艺术领域，且配上超高的语言智商时。比如 Kanye、丘吉尔、Cobain、伍尔夫、海明威、梵高。霍普金斯的心理学家 John Gartner 大约20年前写过一本叫《The Hypomanic Edge》的书。核心论点有点搞笑但颇具说服力：美国有大批处于双向情感障碍谱系的人，经历着轻度轻躁狂（hypomania）。其核心想法是，你必须有点疯癫，才会背井离乡跑到一个……
…esp. in the arts and when paired with high verbal intelligence. Kanye, Churchill, Cobain, Woolf, Hemingway, Van Gogh.
