Do environments foster geniuses or intellect?

RE: Do environments foster geniuses or intellect?
It's definitely easier to express yourself now if you're a genius than any other time in history I would imagine.

There's more opportunity, better communication, better education.

Even just taking into consideration that it's easier to live without dying in your childhood than any other time in history, if you live in a first world country i mean.

It might be less obvious to a standard person who are the geniuses of this time and what they're working on because they're not a part of history yet and what they're working on might not be done.

And with an abundance of geniuses, or at least more of them, it's bound to be more difficult to notice any individual person.

I can't see a genius being distracted by computer games, they'd either get bored or you might get a few of them becoming youtubers and providing entertainment. I can't imagine an ambitious, driven intelligent, individual being satisfied with playing Minecraft in a basement with their life.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
