The drive to utter perfection in a single pursuit takes an unusual person. It takes monomania, near obsession, a singular drive. It takes somone unconcerned or even unable to register the disapproval of others.

Which is something the world could probably use more of. I don't see why we have to label it as some kind of condition or social stigma.

Everything has to be a pathology because that requires more state intervention and more pharmacology. They were merely eccentric musical prodigies or scientific geniuses or gifted artists with personality quirks up until a few decades ago. Now it means more money and more control.
