  2. the movie: Idiocracy
  3. lots of examples, let's go with Alan Turing or Richard Feynman

i'd nominate Ramanujan as the geniuses' genius: he had basically no formal education on mathematics, and yet he solved problems that the rest of the world collectively couldn't crack.

Ah true I haven't heard of him! Love to hear about autodidact geniuses.

  1. I somewhat disagree, I think a lot of real smart people overestimate idiots.
  2. Yup
  3. Alan Turing is my guy! Always remember the British government did him dirty for being gay. Shame on you, British gov.

A genius wouldn’t post something this pointless and idiotic in the first place. If they felt inclined to, they would likely not think it worth the time.
