General Science / What happened to all the genius???
« on: 16/09/2005 02:10:35 »
I've heard that there are about as many people alive today as have ever lived in the whole history of mankind (and not just recorded history - all of it). Given this fact, we should have living among us just about as many overwhelming geniuses as have ever graced the planet, people like Newton, Galeleio, the guy that invented the wheel, the guy that discovered a campfire, Einstein. So my question is WHERE ARE THEY?
Locked up in evil corporate cubicles, forced to shovel their ideas into the black hole of the legal department?
Worse yet, shoveling their original ideas into the morass of "peer review" (with the idea of "peer" being grossly overstated)?
I'm just curious.
