The discussion revolves around the idea that genius is not visibly identifiable, as illustrated by the character Salieri in the film "Amadeus," who realizes that Mozart does not fit the stereotype of a genius. Participants express that many renowned physicists appear ordinary, challenging the notion that intelligence or genius can be discerned from physical appearance. There is debate about the implications of labeling people as "stupid" based on their looks, with some arguing that such judgments are politically and logically incorrect. The conversation touches on societal perceptions of intelligence, the fallacies in making generalizations about people based on appearance, and the complexities of human behavior and intelligence. Additionally, there are humorous asides about creating composite images of geniuses and discussions about the cultural expectations surrounding intelligence. Overall, the thread critiques the superficial judgments often made about intelligence and the inherent biases in societal perceptions.

I must say that why am not a big fan of Tim McGraw's music, he's going to get some big kudos from me and others. During his upcoming "Brothers of the Sun" tour, he is going to give away a free house to poor or wounded veterans on each of the 25 stops of his tour. This a big deal to people who have served and need a hand up.
