Ep. 101 | The Problem with Geniuses

I define a genius as someone who effortlessly recognizes patterns that others don't, and can self-check themselves without an ego. They are continuous in their production of novel insights or works of art. They tend to be fluent in verbal and nonverbal languages and can combine them to express themselves or solve problems on the fly. They don't need to consult with other authorities before coming to their own conclusions about reality. The negative side of this is that they tend not to listen to other people, and they often resort to conspiracy theories to justify their beliefs, since no institutions take them seriously due to their poor social skills. It's really interesting that you can be a genius internally, but when you interact with others, they think you're cognitively impaired. Interaction between two people is never as efficient as interaction between you and yourself. Great, now I'm sounding like a maniac.
