Iq !?
"What makes the genius ?"
What is it with this word, you love so much about it?
Genius is a renaissance term. And as pathetic as the period when it comes to the concepts of solving problems in contemporary sense.
It doesn't have a place in this age in any science. It shouldn't.
It is something like wishing there were/are heros. Which would simply be a great sign of a poor civilisation depends on leaders in such an archaic sense that cannot go by a sufficent progress.
There are so much threads about IQ or being a genius here.
It looks like most of the people like to toy with the idea of 'being superior' or at least feeling like it by talking about it.
When I -as an outsider- read generally these threads, it is hard not to think that most of the people posting here is feeling that themselves are among some superiors. I am not writing this to provoke anybody.
It is just, based on one culture. One sided.

Only those which possesses insight are geniuses imo.
I don't think much of people who can do math or solve physics problems faster than anyone. I just find them having greater "intelligence".

I actually had a long discussion with a close friend on this exact subject, she believes that there is no such thing as genius.. that people can be smart but genius is just based on the fact that you don't know ennough about the subject, I brought up Einstein and Newton but she said she could see people coming up with that... apparently she started thinking about basics of calclus when she was little but didn't know what it was... she was trying to find the slope on a point on a circle with algerbra for a long time and found pleasure in the deritive this year in Calc BC.

- Way doesn’t we need Heroes in our time?
- Honour as an no materialistic value is also in our time useful.
- We need Geniuses and the acceptance that there are differences.
- Einstein’s brain is physically different. (They have stolen and measured it a view years ago)
