But he is important; he is very important. Because the Endogenous personality is the archetypal ‘genius.’ He is the type of a genius – whether a large scale, world historical genius of the highest level achieved by humanity – a Shakespeare, a Beethoven or an Einstein – or a local, tribal, or town genius; a shaman, a sculptor, an inventor whose name is unrecorded (yet who might be the originator of some great but anonymous ballad, folk song, painting -- or a technological breakthrough such as the spade, spear-thrower, arch or stirrup).
Genuine ‘breakthrough’, world-impact creativity is so rare, so difficult (far more difficult than commonly imagined) that it requires a special kind of mind – a mind especially designed for this kind of work (inner work). There need not be many such men – indeed, there should not be too many, since the necessary mind is relatively unfit for the primary, day-to-day, activities of survival and reproduction of the species. But such men are needed – sooner or later, from time to time.
These are the people who (whether we know their names or not) will almost-certainly be behind the scientific and technical breakthroughs that are the motor of civilization, these are people whose can inspire and unite society moving it towards greater things or out of the depths of despair and ennui; these are the people who can rescue a society on the brink of catastrophe.
(I think there are some minor issues with the above, but other than that I can only agree)
post Marxists hate the great man theory
of history
but I'm not sure I've seen anyone else tie it to personality traits like that
its something many realize implicitly
consider the stereotype of the genius
basically, a kook
yeah
wait
so what happened
nothing
they shutdown the former altright server
init?
yeah
the altright.com server
ah i see
this place isn't really connected to that
Genius is a certain personality and certain traits
what are those traits?
The ability to become very good at something (in terms of deep understanding)
which requires higher than average intelligence, and dedication towards a certain field
Then the ability to be creative and innovate
partially that requires high IQ as well, but only up to the depth of understanding point
real creativity is psychoticism
clinical psychoses are the extreme end of a line that has genius and artist on it somewhere
this is easily proven, artists tend to have a preponderance of schizophrenia
it is my belief that there is no categorical difference between the artistic and scientific genius
nothing that divides them beyond just being involved in arts vs. sciences
Really? I would agree, depending on who you count as artistic geniuses. I think think "raw" creative genius often lacks the sort of Conscientious personality that seems necessary for other geniuses
but for someone like Bach or whoever, they seem to line up
ah but geniuses are often dedicated
but almost never conscientous
certainly no genius is more conscientous than the average person
usually the successful people have other figures in their life
or some environment
that allows them to live comfortably and sensibly
