Genious
In the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer, a genius is a person in whom intellect predominates over "will" much more than within the average person. In Schopenhauer's aesthetics, this predominance of the intellect over the will allows the genius to create artistic or academic works that are objects of pure, disinterested contemplation, the chief criterion of the aesthetic experience for Schopenhauer. Their remoteness from mundane concerns means that Schopenhauer's geniuses often display maladaptive traits in more mundane concerns; in Schopenhauer's words, they fall into the mire while gazing at the stars.
"Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see."
— Arthur Schopenhauer
just a quote to get the thread started, i do not agree with Schopenhauer
the thread is.. what does genius mean to you? is genius important? im not asking if you think it has been important because it HAS been, but rather IS it important to have such instances FOR the future? is it hypothetically possible for a world to be entirely geniuses? what are the conditions necessary for genius? and any other 'genius' related question marks you want to pose or address.
