Genius
Do you know Jorn Barger? Well if you don't, then you should! He's the guy who coined the term weblog. Now that you know that little tidbit, maybe you're interested on more info about him.
W ant more? Turns out the guy has gone incognito for some time and his online fans is still searching for him. Yep, I know, this is eerily similar to one famous American chess player's case. This is Searching for Bobby Fischer Web geeks edition. Bobby has been captured in Japan and had been granted asylum and shipped to Iceland. The latest Barger sighting? He’s been spotted asking for change holding a placard saying “Coined the term weblog. Never earned a dime.”
Whoever said there's a thin line that separates genius and insanity...is a genius. Or maybe he has gone crazy too. We'll never know.

maybe genius is judged as insane by minds too inside the box to comprehend there is no box.

I think if you obsess on one thing, its pretty likely that you won't function normally in society.
