Genius a word thrown around like pollen in the wind. A word once uttered indiscriminately, occasionally, infrequently from time to time when it actually meant something, a creative mind and intelligence. One who spent a career accomplishing something profound and significant. The relativity of gravity, the creation of electricity, flight, transportation and on.
People just doing what was intrinsically inherently because of passion without context of praise and glory. Just the satisfaction derived from the activity itself.
Now it’s a word used in propaganda to push a political narrative. Marketing and promoting ignorance to the increasingly growing masses of unintelligent who eat it up like oxygen from a splintered wooden bucket.
A word that would take one years and decades to be considered after an incredible accomplishment is now designated to a composer of a pop song, an actor, or a social media influencer by the younger generation.
The concept of genius usually involves a broader and deeper impact across various aspects of knowledge, intellect and creativity. An accomplishment that has made the advancement of life better for the masses.
Some may say language evolves and shifts with societal norms and cultural changes. Grunting was once the norm thousands of years ago. However, we have evolved into linguistic richness, that’s being tossed asides for asinine objectives.
Babies speak gibberish to communicate and continue to advance and push themselves towards betterment in semantics. Over a short time they strive to refine their lexical skills innately. The synapses are firing. Learning and intelligence continues to improve when challenged.
Facing challenges often stimulates cognitive growth, problem-solving skills, and adaptability, contributing to ongoing improvement in one’s capacity to learn and display intelligence. The footing and foundation of creating genius.
But what do I know, I’m just a genius.
