met way too many people who thought they were genius ... their lives fell off and reality hit them in the face
lol at yall naming people who work for other people's companies and shyt... only that one dude on first page said the person started his own shyt and develops it for NYSE
even then, inventing shyt doesnt make you genius... you can invent shyt that makes millions and is basic as fukk... like those "people counters" when you walk into bodegas, sensors on a car that can automate etc.
kanye calls himself a genius and his music is stolen, he doesnt write it... his clothing is copied, his stem player is just an MP3 with Dj software on it
genius as a term is too loose
"a person who is exceptionally intelligent or creative, either generally or in some particular respect."
intelligent or creative is two separate things
alot of times intelligence lacks creativity
and most times being creative comes from minimal intelligence
