Stuart J. Whitmore on Nostr: The concept of "genius" (to mean a person, not an idea) is as stupid as the concept ...
The concept of "genius" (to mean a person, not an idea) is as stupid as the concept of IQ. Dumbing-down human intelligence, how ironic can you get?
Ooh, let's assign a positive integer in a trivially-limited range (a low "whole number") to represent complex human intelligence. Yeah, that's a great idea.
"You're a genius if your IQ is above..." Uh, no.
I envision intelligence as more like a malleable 4D heatmap, and no simple number or word could ever mean anything useful.
Genius? Bah.
