This is going to be written differently than my other posts. So, let's just start:
Being a genius used to be a rarity. Nowadays, it's more or less like Oxygen. Everyone has it.
I guess, in order for one to be called that, they need to be thinkers first!
Thinker..?
Well, who isn't, when all the information is one click away? Right?
I remember a time when I was on social media. I was just scrolling around, and I saw this online quiz which tells you at the end what type of thinker you are. I seem to forget what type of thinker I was. But, what is hard to forget is that, I was seeing the results of others and there was something that was shocking. No one was a mediocre, everyone is either critical thinker, creative, innovative...etc.
It's like you don't even need to even put an effort. Because, even if you intentionally try do badly. You will end up getting good results. These self-motivation quizzes are all over the web.
Moving on...
Let's change direction here..
"The more you know, the more you realize that the world around you knows little. The less you know, the more confident you are that you know everything and everything you know is correct". ~ Socrates
There is another famous quote in philosophy that goes like this: "Those who know a lot, knows that there are a lot of knowledge out there that they don't know and their circle of uncertainty increases. But, those who know little, are confident that they know a lot and more confident that what they know is correct".
It's like philosophy is trying to teach us that we have to be flexible about what we know as the circle of the unknown is always bigger.
