Someone with a high IQ or someone you suspected was a genius by how they do things?

To be a genius you only need 140 IQ... And I have the papers to prove it

Me and my son both are... His is higher than mine tho.. :mjcry:

What is considered a genius outside of a score?

Lotta people assume is how much you know, but I feel like its how efficiently you process information and do new things with it. Like "bulk apperception" in the Westworld tv show

I look at it like internet speed and computers. 56k dont seem smart at all, but fiber speed.... while at the same time, they're both hooked to the very same internet.

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

I met a Black playwright who wrote a really creative play about Black historical figures from different time periods meeting up with each other in one dimension.

To make a long story short, in one scene of the play, George Washington Carver and Kanye West had a heated argument over who was more of a genius and the writing and comedy was brilliant. And the actors who played them had spot on impressions.

I wish I remembered his name because he was skilled in that field. He was a creative genius imho.
