You have a bunch of important psychological terms flipped there. Psychopathy is not unstoppable racing thoughts, but compulsive antisocial behaviour. Genius is disciplined rich inspiration. Whether genius is or is not accompanied with antisocial behaviour is secondary.

I have faint hope you are genius... (Not touching lobotomy for now.)

I've heard genius may correlate with schizophrenia, though.
I have a hypothesis. The mind's overall capacity is somewhat more or less the same throughout the humans - in terms of "CPU" of sorts. Also memory cells in use or such stuff.
But the use may differ. Within most of people, their "unified" capacity is used for, say, practical needs; but always, in any set of similar but complex things there are plains, there are peaks, margins - such usual stuff, if you remember statistics.
So, it goes that there's a "main sequence" (with various and ubiquitous minor fluctuations), and there are deviations. The latter can be seen as for good, indifferent or for the bad.
Thus, the "common people" more or less use their "same volume" capacity for those practical needs - as they're able to.
The deviants are those guys whose abilities are shifted - as if their Central Processor can't handle all of it with the same power. So they can do something that the average guys cannot and at the same time cannot do what the common guys can do easily.
So, if you have a talent - then maybe you lack something that "common guys" believe to be "granted". And they usually can not understand a genius -- not their "relativities" - they can't understand why in the f..'s sake "that wise guy can't do such simple things!".

The inventor of lobotomy was a Portuguese doctor, Egas Moniz, he even got a medicine Nobel prize (the real one, not the Peace "Nobel" prize) for that.
He was killed by one of his patients with two shots.
I suppose it was not a too much deep lobotomy, the patient could still pull the trigger...
