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
yeah i get it
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
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
well maybe I'm using the wrong word. dedicated is better
my problem is Charlton has already surpassed and consolidated anything I could say
but at the same time
just linking a book doesn't end well
so I end up quoting or summarizing him with a smattering of my own ideas
Chapter 9 is called The Shaman versus the Head Girl
