He was obviously a really smart guy and was ambitious and put his smarts to work.
Just being smart is useless unless you use it.

Just because someone has a college degree does not mean they have any common sense.
Ben Franklin had a lot of common sense and was a master at dealing with people. His autobiography is a book that gives a lot of insight into how he dealt with people.

The dude had his own mint, how badass is that?!!
He invented lightning, discovered the electoral college, and wrote about climate change in his almanac. And, he flew kites for fun while working as a founding member of HX.
I also heard he was transgender and woke and taught lesbian dance before moving to France to hang out with King Luo.
Wow, what a life!!!

Raw intelligence is wasted if it isn’t honed. Going to top schools affords students the ability to learn how to think and interact with other smart people (which helps develop one’s ability to problem solve and think analytically).
Anyhow, the book Daily Rituals has short one or two page snippets that describe what famous people did each day to come up with their ideas. Apparently Benjamin Franklin liked being nude in the cold every day to refresh himself. By the way, cold baths have recently been proven to increase testosterone and help the body heal from injuries (athletes now take ice baths after games), so they were onto something even back then.
Excerpt From
Daily Rituals How Artists Work
Mason Currey
Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
... Franklin adopted a favorite habit of his later years—his daily “air bath.” At the time, baths in cold water were considered a tonic, but Franklin believed the cold was too much of a shock to the system. He wrote in a letter:
“I have found it much more agreeable to my constitution to bathe in another element, I mean cold air. With this view I rise early almost every morning, and sit in my chamber without any clothes whatever, half an hour or an hour, according to the season, either reading or writing. This practice is not in the least painful, but on the contrary, agreeable; and if I return to bed afterwards, before I dress myself, as sometimes happens, I make a supplement to my night’s rest, of one or two hours of the most pleasing sleep that can be imagined.”

He was far enough ahead of his time that he thought that positive charges moved through electrical wire. It wasn't until many years later that it was learned that it was electrons which carried the charges. That is the reason that polarity is reversed in electrical physics.
