Default The case for and against genius

P(n[IQ] q) = k for all C(g1,g2) where k - 0 when q - max(IQ
t=infinite)

The probability of there being more than one great intelligence
(genius) during a generation is near zero, and of course the
probability that two ro more intelligences coincide in time and place
out of an university is near impossibility. All instances of multi
genius generation can be explained sociologically by envy. For
instance, Voltaire writing the Encyclopedia, Bacon writing
Shakespeare, Mendelssohn giving away compositions/themes to his
friends, Hegel (Kant? Fichte?) giving away ideas to other
philosophers, Heisenberg (Bohr?) in the quantum mechanics generation,
etc.

We can envision each generation as a hyperplane in the space of human
possibility where there is (at some moments in time, with certain
frequency) a high peak, global macimum, followed by other minor peaks
and a continuum varying about an average, (for the intelligence
measure, whatever it is taken).

That the works of genius get distributed, voluntarily or forcefully,
would be an expression of th euniversal motive of envy...

(The equation is just to impress! Easy way to take notes, though I
guess it can be expressed more formally in a model of gene trait
distribution along whole populations).

Uncle Al You are very modest(small ego) you surely could sit in the
same room with Witten,wilczek,Connes,and let me add Brian Greene. For
myself I would like to be a fly on the wall,and listen to you all. Bert

Hyperplanes in affine space are flat.

Sorry, don`t know them save Feynman. How many scientific or
technological revolutions are they starting? (not personal, for the
sake of argumentation 8)
And if you read in lines (not inbetween the lines), the argument says
`out of an university`. We have to take into account the increasing
size of wrold population...
Stupid is writeen with u.

Who does not speaketh is not heard... my dire straits are precisely to
have time to post, instead of writing formally in a comfortable home.
And my time I am being told is running out, at which point I start
going hysteric...

Hopeless ignorant idiot. You are empirically disproven. Have the
good taste to shut up.

And this kind of little traps I have been experiencing the whole
year... But it was not an insult, it was a statement of fact...

And the fact is that if I don`t post, then who would care if I am in dire straits?
