>>13149589There is literally no such thing as a scientific genius. Notice how every great discovery is made around the same time as somebody else making the great discovery? Sometimes knowingly, sometimes independently from each other? Understand why?
Scientists are organic tools that the new evolutionary entity known as civilization employs in order to advance its functions. There is nothing transcendent or genius about its work, therefore never unique, never a pure expression of the human. It is a vocational tool. Like how the human body evolves in order to adapt to some changing environment, the scientist is the cell or organ performing this advancement with no awareness.
If it is "objective" and based on tests as defined by "objective" measurements, it is not genius. Scientist are just really good machines. Promoting the opposite has been used by civilization in order to accelerate its control over the earth and humanity by subverting the emotional parts of the human brain that are drawn to the idea of genius into becoming scientists. It has devalued true genius, that of the non objective.
