In my opinion a genius someone who’s misunderstood. If they’re not that much different from autistic person. Let me explain. Though their minds r brilliant, they tend to look at the world differently and they don’t express themselves as most people would. They understand difficult things, but sometimes overlook simple things, often don't have the common sense, because their minds r 2 complex. Somebody told me I was a genius, then explained that to me, I didn’t know if I should’ve been flatter or offended.

I think being misunderstood could be a sympton of genius, but it doesn't make someone a genius.

true

i think this person was speaking more of my work he read.

Someone who excels above and beyond even the very talented people in any given area. That's pretty much it for me: just falls into a different category.

Some geniuses are fucked up. Some are very normal in all other respects. Most are green.

i think the fucked up ones r the famous ones.

Someone who's talent or skill transcends that of mere creativeness and brilliance. Someone who doesnt have to try hard to be original or innovating. Someone who is effortlessly aesthetic and moves people with their work or art. Someone who universally helps people understand their own life and the world around them.

Whats that line from that Bond flick?

"...the differrence between genius and insanity is measured only by success..."

A genius creates. A talented person mimicks. thats the difference.

4 example, Beyonce mimicks Tina Turner-talent
Prince creates Prince-genius

Me, myself & I.
