My depression is harsh right now, so I will answer the questions when I can think properly.

If you are depressed, avoid this forum for a while (I'm really not trying to sound mean). Go to Christian forum, watch cute kittens on youtube, fap, pray, do whatever to recharge your batteries and then come back Wink

Yes, I am aware of that. I think we've diverged into another topic. In THIS post, my main point is that rational language is limited in terms of communicating knowledge from one person to another. Even if I concede the point that genius cannot be learned, there is no getting away from the fact that Mozart had incomprehensibly advanced knowledge of classical music theory. Because Mozart's knowledge of classical music theory was several orders of magnitude more advanced than his contemporaries, even if he tried to communicate his music theory knowledge using language, most people would not know what the hell he is talking about because it would be beyond their comprehension.
