PModVancouver - are you saying that until 1969(ish), there was no intelligence in music? no intellectuals? that's a pile of shit. chapman, my IQ is over 150, don't make me a genius - the IQ system is mostly redundant and discredited anyway! |

Genius, according to Mensa, is one who scores better than 98% of the population on a standardized IQ test. Thus, one in fifty people are geniuses. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
reducing the level of genius to an arbitrary figure is bullshit - like the statistic that 10% of the population is homosexual...since when did mensa decide the definition of a word? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, but genius comes in many different forms, I think its too hard to gauge |

Brian Eno: "truly an authority on how life and society works, thats why hes constantly being asked by even governments for info on this and that, and gives lectures about the cybernetics and dynamics of life as we know it" huh?? |

Eno is a very clever guy... Check out his book A Year (with Swollen Apendices) ... ISBN 0-571-17995-9 ... ... Lovely diary format detailing what's he up to (more exciting that it sounds) & lots of his Essays/Writing as the Swollen Appendices of the title... Highly recommended...my copy is a bit tatty now as I've re-read it so many times... Cool thread BTW... |

yea i've heard of that book - i have liked eno's music for about 10 years - i like the way he has his special cards to throw some unpredictability into some of his works |

is the term 'gay' overused? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll tell you one word that's overused: SEXY !!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just because you REALLY like a musical artist doesnt make him a genious..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, when I was 12 it was, almost everything was 'gay' ah those were the days, when even if you weren't gay you'd get a cartel of kids coming to find you to kick your head in. |

its only shit,, |

There is potential "genius" in ever single being. To say somebody is genius is only to recognize the genius within them. When I hear a piece of music that blows me away, moves me, or sends me into ecstatic release, I may exclaim "that's genius!" This does not necessarily mean that the artist is an example of pure genius, just means that I recognized their genius in that moment. Some people, artists, scientists, philosphers, whatever, take greater holf of their personal genius and let shine throught more than other's. I am pure genius; I just haven't figured out how to let it out yet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can't let it out coz it don't exist in you sucker! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
yes it is as 'genius' implies perfection and no one is perfect unfortunately (that is if youre refering to someone being a 'genus'. da vinci was heraled as a genius, because of his inventions. did you know he invented/came up with a design for the helicopter? except he intended for it to be built out of solid mahogany. genious smenious. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think everyone knows he invented a helicopter, KEN - it is lauded about most times da vinci is mentioned on the television! anyways, the pure meaning of genius is unconnected with the physical being - it applies to a separate entity - as in, a piece may be a work of genius, but the human writer/recepticle isn't a genius, even if they are 'touched' by genius. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
In my case yes. People are always lauding me as a genius, especially at work. They stand in awe at the way I input register marks into our database. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i think you're a genius jonesy - honest! |

Marlowe: the term genius is connected with persons, not their products, and it implies that this person has the ability of making those "mental links" that the rest of us aren't |
||||||||
|
|

|
|

speak for yourself, meho - i have no problem making a "mental link" with Universe. and actually, the word genius can be connected with a person's product - why not look at some of j s bach's fugues for instance. |
