The Common Character Trait of Geniuses | James Gleick | Big Think

Many of these people come from abusive relationships, or brain imbalances, it is after all a Freak in Nature. Genius is Borderline psychotic, found mostly in Redheads.

Their wits disguise how dangerous they are outside of the arts. Can "normal" people manage the discoveries of geniuses? Doesn't look like it.

Passion for abstraction.

What about "Endurance" ? I remember in my General psychology course Athletes (Marathon Runners) & Scientists have don't quiet easily they may work hard for one goal for more than a decade with out any reward we can take example of tomas Edison's effort to discover light bulb also Athlet Abebe bikela who raised in rural area of Ethiopia later break world marathon record with a bare foot even after car accident he lost his ablity to walk but while he was in hospital learn archery & participated on Olympic then he won on archery game despite of he played sitting on his wheelchair. So i believe their endurance is what makes genius different from ordinary people

The difference? Compare these comments with comments on CNN.

Issac Newton stayed single for life, no distractions from women and kids.

He had me at Richard Feynman my Academic hero

Newton probably carried more load than feyman when it comes to access to a knowledge source..

Yeah I’ve had plenty I can’t make sense of it myself I’m not the best looking guy either my genius isi was a good chef maybe 😈👨‍🍳🤷‍♂️🤓😎

I don't know what geniuses have in common

The end result of all genius is a story. Act 1 is the observation. Act 2 is the equation. Act 3 is the expression, the denoument as it were. This applies to all of the so-called STEAM disciplines.

I think his nose is broken

That makes it impossible to replicate or teach.

Bingo!

I think geniuses also suffer while they are alone to breakthrough dimensions and discoveries.

Its funny how someone living in 2023 knows who Isaac Newton was?

Newton did --
With a bird

What you are looking for is we are able to accept the aloneness of the mind, and work with it, not get scared by it and try to run away from it.

Didn’t necessarily prefer to be alone, but work alone
