Genius is, and has historically been recorded, due to long periods of isolation from a curated narrative. Isolation from the influence of others to change, remove focus and or distract you away from thinking about fundamental truth.
If you unpack what you refer to as being caused by 'Equality' you will see the same.
On of the fundamental features of Bitcoin is Equality, so that alone makes what you say counterfactual.
It doesn't even require genius. It just requires independent thought. The notion of scientific consensus is oxymoronic.
