AQATSA cover, and a rant about dumbass "geniuses"

Apr 18, 2011 23:39

So, Dilbert-creator Scott Adams is an asshole and he's also a genius.

Scott Adams exemplifies the smug Internet "genius" who whips out an IQ score in lieu of a penis. It ain't that impressive, dude, even if it is bigger. And guess what? It's probably not.

Wow, nice. I really like the coloring, and how the wolves turned out. The title should be the icing.

Is there some reason why I should not delete the essay above and ask you to simply post a link to your journal for those who are interested in reading it?

Re: Genius - end of the passage fpb April 19 2011, 14:59:05 UTC

That it has directly to do with what you said. I would not have posted it otherwise.

I'd rather you post a link rather than reposting entire essays in a series of comments.

For those who are interested, fpb's essays are here and here.

I did not read another prominent poster, intentionally.

From what I've seen, genius in the vein of Edison, Da Vinci, Michelanglo, Mozart, Einstein, Benjamin Franklin etc and what is backed by the experts seems to be tied to an ability to make connections between many different threads that are not readily apparent to others.

Salieri could never in million years make the links of insight and connections that Mozart could, no matter how hard he tried nor could the hard working, organized, well trained John Adams be the genius that Franklin was. In Potter terms, that lack of outside the box thinking and tolerance of it is what I believe kept Hermione out of Ravenclaw.

What I find intriguing about this is how these same traits underling genius are linked to things like Aspergers and ADHD. Good book on the subject is The Edison Gene by Thom Hartman.

Also, the picture finally looks 'right'.

Personally, I still think there is something odd about her head -- maybe a little too large compared to the rest of her body or something. No idea. Then again, it's about lightyears better than what I could do so there you go :)

Yeah, her face looks a little too fleshy, and I always sorta imagined her as having her hair pulled/tied back. It looks like she's having an allergic reaction or something. I always thought of her face as being thinner than that.
