Doesn’t make you wonder about humble geniuses that were indifferent about being recognized as exceptional and just wanted to contribute something useful, perhaps to regular folk this is extraordinary, but to “genius” it was just pure good intentions. Perhaps some extraordinary individuals saw their success as our collective success. We might never know.

Meritocracy is required but not the Dynastic Meritocracy. Example in old days British created the Royal Society of London. The kids of original founders became like proprietor of that institute. While those people might be genius in their own right, they completely controlled who had access to knowledge. This is to blame. Meritocracy is what Marie Curie was able to achieve against all odds. So this is still fine.

lol education and iq are two different things

I personally think the extreme desire to re recognized as genius is somewhat narcissistic 🤷 my idea as a scientist is you do things because it's helpful to society and you enjoy it. We all want some recognition and appreciation,yes but when you feel the need to be labeled a genius and given awards and special recognition, I believe your going against the craft itself. You should be working on things that help yourself and others and if recognition comes that's great, if not who cares 🤷

@@Seldomheardabout Well we know that other fields also have immense value to people and for some more value than the results of extraneous scientific endeavors, that’s the point I’m making. I think scientists are more likely to be deemed genius because their work is much less intuitively understood to others and confronts more of the tangible and physical realities of life, which is again less easy to intuitively contribute to, so it’s deemed extraordinary, while artists and people of the like are more likely to be known for the emotional and mental comfort their work does.

Mama always said- stupid is as stupid does.

Success or Ideas or Genius depends on having challenges. You cannot compare different branches of science for the Q factor. This is dumb, of course it is not productivity. The notion that intellect and genius are solely the result of personal effort and challenges is misguided. The identity of a genius is not bound to any specific individual or group, but rather dependent on the nature of the task at hand. In a world where women had equal opportunities to men, it could have been a woman who discovered the theory of relativity, and not Einstein. Moreover, the field of physics has advanced considerably since Einstein's time, and yet we have yet to make any significant breakthroughs. As such, it seems inevitable that we will soon reach certain points in every other branch of knowledge, where further progress becomes increasingly difficult to achieve.

The concept of talent is illusory and ultimately meaningless, as it is simply a byproduct of having intuition for the potential discoveries that lie ahead. The idea that certain individuals are inherently more gifted than others disregards the complex web of social, economic, and environmental factors that shape human potential.

@The-Well

Жыл бұрын

We'd guess Barabasi would heartily agree with you on genius not being solely the result of personal effort, bound to any particular group, that a woman could have made Einstein's discoveries or that a complex web of social, economic and environmental factors determines who is considered a 'genius.' He makes similar points in the video and highlights a woman who made comparable discoveries to Hawking but was never recognized. It's also certainly possible that a Q factor will be hard to compare across different branches of science since they'll inevitably have different characteristics and timelines of discovery. With respect to Einstein being considered a 'peerless genius' or talent an artificial construct, it is worth comparing scientists with contemporaries of similar opportunities and characteristics. Of all the physicists employed at all the institutions worldwide at a given time, if one of them produces an order of magnitude more discoveries in their shared field than others consistently over a lifetiime--is talent not a suitable explanation? If not, what else?

A woman did NOT come up with the theory of relativity. That is a feminist hoax that has nothing to do with ACTUAL historical fact. Mileva Maric, the woman who feminists claim came up with relativity (with no proof by the way), failed her final physics exams TWICE so she couldn't even graduate. And she never published a single scientific work in ANY journal. It is a lie. Albert Einstein, studying the works of Maxwell, derived the theory of relativity from the invariance of light and the indecidability of simultaneity. Stop spreading lies to take credit away from Einstein. It's silly.

Tesla and Newton are my first picks there are so many out there

Stephen Hawkings is like Premier League football players. Everything better than ordinary becomes genius in media through anglophone media and institutions.

Ah yes, I am something of a genius myself.

I've heard a supposed quote . . . I believe it was told to me that a reporter once asked Einstein "What is it like to be the smartest man on earth?" To which Einstein replied "I don't know. You'll have to ask Nikola Tesla." Does anyone reading this know if this exchange actually happened? Thanks!

There is too much politics in Science and its institutions and country it serves. Read a book by Ziman sometime back on "Somebody and Nobody" in Science. As well as, Big sciences versus small science ....how developed world science monopolizes and control what can acheived by third world science or its impact. Not to forget also the "Gate keepers" that destroys the aspirants and ambitions of potential scientist.

Interesting question! There's a lot of debate about what consciousness is. Some theorize that it's our perception of our brain's current state, including energy. In that case you would both need to replicate the exact physical makeup of the brain (which is unique to everyone) as well as the current energy state of all the particles within it--which at least currently is outside the capability of our technology.
