That may explain the stereotype that Jews are so miserable. Smart people aren’t the happiest people around.
I've always thought that Jewish intellectuals picked up their angst from gentile Europeans. If you want dark and brooding, try much of the literature, music, and philosophy from Germany, the Scandinavian countries, and Russia.
That being said, you may have a point. It's certainly true that the happiest people I know are also some of the most stupid.
