Who do you rate as a genius?

What defines "genius" in your words?

Are you planning to become a genius?
If so,.why?

I personally feel that people who've outdid thinking others
.on a certain theory with massive change in the process may
be labeled a genius.

Wheter that is musically (Bach ,Aphex Twin etc) Or musically
Genius (member of the Wu tang clan) for stating in their
second cd inlay, between all the members huge amounts of
shout outs / big ups & wassups :

Fuck a shout out!

Leonardo Da Vinci was a genious in my books.
He was so inteligent its almost spooky.
I mean designing robots and helicopters!!
His theories on robots are used in studies today!
He was a true renasance man.(duh!)

Some geniuses:
- Einstein
- All great composers of old times (Mozart, Beethoven, Bach,
Haydn, Händel etc.)
- All great composers of new times (RDJ, Dylan J. Nathan
(=Jega), Sean & Rob, Ben Watkins (=Juno Reactor)
- All great picture artists of old times who knew how to
draw portraits almost photo-realistically

Leonardo Da Vinci, yes true genius!

why aren't there millions/bilions people similar (in other
ways) like him. Life is he constant struggle between
oposits. Nobody is fighting anymore in my opinion,.......

The ones that get through are geniusses

Why do I feel I'm being pushed around in a direction by
everything surrounding me?

or:

I choose my own direction ,

surrounding? fuck you!

I always really liked da vince's drawings. I guess a major
theme in his thinking was that the earth was a "macrocosm of
the human body as a microcosm".

"leonardo's mountain of clams and the diet of worms" is a
book describing it.

Shigeru IS a fucking genious, right on! You'd think the guy
that pioneered everything in the early 80's would be out of
touch or something 2 decades later, but the fucker is STILL
making the most innovative games!

But I can't believe nobody's listed John Lennon... the most
genious of them all.

Richard exagerates things. Ask your self what music do you
like? exagerate it further than you dare. You'll be afx. Be
more ambient, be mare D'n'B be more micro.....It's fun, you
can do some interesting things too...
