How to define genius? Dean Keith Simonton takes us on a historical tour of its ever-changing meaning. From its humble beginnings as a measure of potential we all have within us, to a solely artistic gift-as described by Immanuel Kant-to a testable measure of intelligence governed by an IQ score. But can something that transcends the status quo really be defined within the limits of it? What follows is a lively discussion on the making of a genius.

a genius is someone capable of complex thought

Dear, this is curiosity. And if you can't respect scientist how come you think to be blessed by the god. Because if God is the creator then scientist is a detector.

@@indogreek5565 “if god is a creator then scientist is the detector” We have conformists and we have truth seekers, and then we have people who combine them both, I question sometimes why my biochemistry teacher is religious on a daily basis, I’m very curious and then science is interconnected with reality as we see it or perceive.

Genius has to do specifically with Problem solving or creation, Creation is the build of data and counter to that is Problem solving which is the breakdown of pre-existing equations, Genius is otherwise just an individual who can perform the same amount as a a collective group or generation that needs many revisions in order to solve for or create

Only Art is genius But Can't Science Be Art and Art Be Science ?

@yashwanthv25 3 года назад

Actually both are interlinked..Science is a form of an art and An art is a form of science.

To me, genius is "the ability to simplify the impossible"

@taopaille-paille4992 Год назад

Restricted but a bit true

@arna664 Год назад

Nothing is impossible... Tht seems impossible makes more sense

"Talent hits a target no one else can hit, genius hits a target no one else can see." I believe genius is, more or less, a way of thinking, and you don't need to have a extraordinarily high iq to be one. A genius is curious, filled with awestruck wonder, and is always learning. They squeeze out every bit of information from every experience, to gain knowledge and wisdom. They know that there is always a better, and more efficient way to do everything. If they're inspired to do something, they will create a way to do it. While everybody else believes something is impossible, or they can't directly perceive the solution, a genius perseveres. With only the goal in mind, they create the roads to it. "Genius abhors consensus, because once consensus is reached, thinking stops." -Albert Einstein

The history of the meaning is very interesting but this question goes way beyond the view topics they talked about.

@calicoesblue4703 Год назад

Not really, he spoke about the words Origins & spoke about how the meaning has changed to having a High I.Q. 🤷🤷🤷

@francescakray233 Год назад

Thank you. I/Francesca, have always considered myself, a genius. In, so much as I am blessed with original ideas. Also genius's are eccentric and by nature loners. I, thank God for his goodness. Thank you God. 🙄
