He lost the war and destroyed his own country…some genius?
Discussion
Genius is just a trait it doesn’t guarantee results. Like having a big dick doesn’t mean someone knows how to fuck.
made my day 😂
😂 Like having a huge ego doesn’t mean someone is a genius. You’re using ‘genius’ to mean like his cognitive capacity?
Genius is anyone over 140 IQ
A world view where everyone you hate must be stupid is retarded.
I didn’t call anyone stupid. I’m talking about definitions.
We’re using different definitions.
Mine is the correct definition though
So you’re just ignoring the primary and secondary definitions? Wild, IQ doesn’t show up in my dictionary at all. The only one that fits him in mine is the ‘evil genius’ sense, which is explicitly about influence, not intelligence, he100% qualifies there.
No I’m not ignoring it. Putting aside the moralilty. Taking over all of Europe definitely shows intellectual power.
Einstein was a socialist and a genius, some bitcoin developer are also a bit like that.
so, why not?
Einstein’s ‘genius’ is obvious because his work still explains the universe…as far as I’m aware? Hitler’s work was politics and war, and that ended in total collapse. I can’t see why people see him as a ‘genius’? Words are so fucking confusing. If outcomes don’t matter then surely everyone with potential is a ‘genius’?
i don't understand why you are writing "see him", there is a standard test for it, it's not a matter of opinion.
And in the Einstein example i just made the point that
"he was a genius and still fell for socialism."
i also don't see why outcomes should be relevant in this question.
😅 I can’t tell if you’re taking the piss? You previously said he wasn’t a genius?
So as far as I’m aware IQ is a measure of cognitive capacity (no mention of genius).
And ‘Genius’ is a label we give in retrospect, not a measurable trait. (That’s why I said “see him”.)
They are the definitions I adhere to.
I agree one can be a genius (Einstein E = mc²) and make bad choices, that’s innately human.
