Can you really be a "genius?"

[Kagerou]

I know we've all seen the top student in our class getting A+'s, 100%'s in all their Test's, Exams and Quizzes..But the real thing is, can a person really be an absolute genius? In non-fiction it may have more of an increased chance, but what about the real world itself?

It's a weird question to ask, but It's been floating in my head for awhile .-.

Einstein for example, its really all I could think of on top of my head haha. There's tons of more we just have to look into it.

A 0.01% chance.

Yep... watch santos bonacci. Hes a genius and he talks about other geniuses that he studied

Grades mean nothing. Genius is a subjective term.

An absolute genius is literally impossible. That would be mean he/she would have to be a considered a "genius" in every aspect from book smart to even in the sense of anime. But if you're talking about school (just book smart), yeah it's possible but highly unlikely.

Also look up edward scalene. Hes a f***in genius. Hes dead but he knew how our ancestors built the pyramids. Crazy how people today with this great technology cant seem ti figure out the secret behind the pyramids. He has his own museum in florida that he made out of big ass limestones( 2 tons and over each).

People are shaped, and made by what they have experienced, and what they perceive.

We all see the same things, some just see them more clearly.

There's no such thing as a genius. Just people better than others at certain things.

Best answer you're going to get.

In the theory of multiple intelligences thereare 9 different types of intelligence (look up for more detail). One can be a genius in one or perhaps a few of these intelligences but no one can really master them all.

Einstein didn't even believe in the Uncertainty Principle of QM and thought the Universe was static until LeMaitre made the Big Bang Theory, not to mention that he was dependent on the works of his predecessors like Newton, Riemann Geometry and Minkowski Space to formulate his Theory of Relativity.

There is no such thing as "absolute genius" Faraday was a genius in experimentation but was practically clueless in Mathematics, Sheldon Cooper is a genius in Physics but is completely clueless in driving (and sarcasm) Lol

It really depends upon what you classify as "Genius."

The key perspective of most highly intelligent people is a lack of fear of the unknown. 'Geniuses' tend to love the unknown and tend to approach learning from a cause-effect standpoint. You will basically never hear a 'genius' say that he or she is incapable of learning something. They will (or, should) acknowledge when they are not versed in a subject - but it's not an admission of defeat, but of limited human capacity.

A number of the 'absolute geniuses' are somewhat intimidating or awe-inspiring. You can discuss the primitives of a subject of study and you can literally watch them 'build' the more advanced theories and understandings of that subject while you are talking to them. Then they will write a blog post that makes a doctorate level thesis look quaint.

I'm yet undecided if such people are 'born' or if they are cultured into who or what they are. The closest I have come to answering that is: Genetics determines how you develop while your environment provides the reference for your development to be built by your experiences and tempered by your resolve.

lol,from when the grades started determining the level of genius?

it's a subjective term.

1. ARYABHATT(The inventor from India,who gave 0 to the world,invented sin,cos,tan and what not,in 300 B.C.)

2. LEONARDO DA' VINCI

3. GALILIO

4. EINSTEIN

5. BILL GATES(in a way)

etc.

i think being a genius is a wrong thing to aspire to be. none of the "geniuses" you read about did what they did because they wanted people to think they are smart or special. scientists are curious, not smart. the people i would call smart are probably the rich people, and grades are really not why i think they are smart.
