Thread for geniuses


Posts: 100

This thread is solely reserved for minds considered to be genius. If your not sure what that is, then you probably shouldn't post in this thread. I'm also not claiming that I'm a genius. Maybe near genius, but definitely not one.

I am interested in people who confidently consider them selves to be one though. To hear the types of things that you think, the things you enjoy doing, and what you like to create. Just simple things like that and of course this thread is open to any discussions about psychology and philosophy.

I like this site because most people spend there times making overly sarcastic comments. But I know in a midst all this child like behavior lies intelligence. Also, I'll have to check out that site. It just seems like there's a difference between a group of people who believe there geniuses and those that actually are. This whole thread seems quite ironic now.

Why here and not somewhere like Mensa?

Edit: Here's a "Genius" forum. Their posting style seems to have a pretentious theme to it.

I spend most my time in the history books, comparing what was, and what will be.

http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=genius

genius (n.)
late 14c., "tutelary or moral spirit" who guides and governs an individual through life, from Latin genius "guardian deity or spirit which watches over each person from birth; spirit, incarnation; wit, talent;" also "prophetic skill," originally "generative power" (or "inborn nature"), from PIE gen(e)-yo-, from root gene- "to produce, give birth, beget" (see genus). Sense of "characteristic disposition" of a person is from 1580s. Meaning "person of natural intelligence or talent" and that of "exalted natural mental ability" are first recorded 1640s.

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genius

A genius is a person who displays exceptionally superior intellectual ability, creativity, or originality, typically to a degree that is associated with the achievement of new advances in a domain of knowledge. A scholar in many subjects or a scholar in a single subject may be referred to as a genius.[1] There is no scientifically precise definition of genius, and the question of whether the notion itself has any real meaning has long been a subject of debate, although psychologists are converging on a definition that emphasizes creativity and eminent achievement.

Okay, I don't really do that, but it seems to me, that after a few thousand years (okay, 500 or so, if you are anal about it), nobody has the slightest clue as to what a genius is. I was "gifted" in kindergarden, but I genuinely have no clue what that is supposed to be in relevance to anything that matters.

 

We could guess, that perhaps there is a spiritual world, and that perhaps, this plane of existence is simply a sparring ground for souls, who believe in free will temporarily on this plane, and that genius is a demon or angel of sorts battling some bizarre game of life. That's more exciting than touting our own horns, and patting each others back, right?

I'm sure they are not useless or unimportant,(in reference to your case relative to the ability of them to judge others) maybe you are unsatisfied with the result and want a scapegoat.

I could solve complex physics problems mentally and deconstruct einstein's theories while high on benzos but if you ask me to tie my shoes properly or name you a wild animal besides the most obvious you're up for a disappointment. I attempted to play football a few times and once managed to send the ball behind me while trying to kick it away. It's almost like all my khinestetic and naturalist intelligence points were transferred to logical / mathematical and spatial. I have to consciously convert my thoughts into words because I think in flashes of abstractions and impressions that fly 200 per second and sometimes i have so many thoughts at once i just shut up or ask my conversation partner about themselves so I can slow down enough to form a proper sentence lol. Despite all that I seem to be conversating really well so I dodged a bullet in that area
