Nearly all of us have the people in our lives against whom we hold ourselves, who are better than us, who achieve more that we do, who are just a little bit more inspired. As Isaac Butler reminds us 'Talent, or inspiration, or genius, appears to flow from outside of us, and cannot be explained. It has, at its best, the force of the divine, terrifying and thrilling at once'.
A genius is essentially any person who is widely or unanimously acclaimed for an extraordinary, soaring talent, or for brilliance—such as Shakespeare, Einstein, Mozart , Michelangelo to name a few.
Marvin Minsky was a founding father of the field of artificial intelligence and an innovative explorer of the mysteries of the human mind.To my mind he was a genius. he died in 2016.
Seymour Papert took Piaget's theory of constructivism and developed constructionism. This was not so much “learning by doing” as “learning by making”. Papert said: “Learning is most effective when part of an activity the learner experiences as constructing a meaningful product.” To my mind he was a genius. Papert died in 2016.
Zaha Hadid was widely regarded to be the greatest female architect in the world today.Among architects emerging in the last few decades, no one had any more impact than she did. She fought her way through as a woman. She was the first woman to win the Pritzker prize. To my mind she was a genius. Hadid died in 2016.
Amadeus was Peter Shaffer's portrait of a genius. It won eight Oscars.To many people Shaffer was a genius.Shaffer died in 2016.
But let's leave the last word to Prince. A musical genius, introverted, eccentric, iconoclastic, and autonomous in his decision-making.Prince died in 2016.
Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
To get through this thing called life
We are gathered here today
To get through this thing called life
Electric word life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you
There's something else
The after world
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you
There's something else
The after world
A world of never ending happiness
You can always see the sun, day or night
You can always see the sun, day or night
A genius is eternal.
