My favorite bit from J.S. Mills' autobiography is when he falls into a massive depression at about age 18 and then after a year or two he finds something that cheers him up: music.

But then he decides that Beethoven and Schubert must have invented all possible new melodies, so he gets depressed again for years.

Emil, thank you for reviewing the history of intelligence studies. Very interesting to see the evolution of thought over the decades.
