I don't think it's necessarily unhealthy. Much of the benefits of modern society have been reaped by much smarter, albeit atypical, people than yourself. The interesting part, I think, is our shift to a technological society might be changing the basis of sexual selection. Women want men who can provide security for them. Today that equals ability to make money. Ability to make money now is very different from the physical attributes which would have represented security to our species thousands of years ago. We may be inadvertently strengthening the selection for the autistic spectrum. The term sperglord could have a much more literal meaning in the future.
