  • I think that today’s world makes it harder to stand out as a genius, even with more opportunity. Most modern composers with any public name recognition are movie composers, like Hans Zimmer, Howard Shore, and John Williams. Absolutely incredible scores without their movies, but are any Mozart level? I bet the Mozart level ones are probably well known in the orchestral world, but none of them are probably very well known outside of it.

    And as far as scientists and mathematics, those roles have been pretty much entirely commercialized and corporatized. Even stuff for the public good is largely funded through grants and private investors, so the geniuses are always beholden to others who will take the real credit.

    All of the recognized “geniuses” that I can think of are business-savvy grifters like musk and bozos and Zuck, all riding the coattails of the real innovators. Plus, these three specifically, if you look at their vanity projects and shit, they’re all pretty insane.

    Thats a real team-based solution focused attitude lol. Nowhere did I say “do it for them”. I said help them. Because hey guess what, sometimes people can’t do things by themselves. Like I said, standing behind someone and going “just do it” doesn’t work. If they need help they need help. And yeah, at some point if they can’t do it, they can’t do it, and you need someone else to do it.

    The key is finding responsibilities and roles that fit the disability. I struggle with the day to day chores, but I also have no problem with scheuled big, non-daily projects like deep cleaning or yard work or whatnot that i can hyperfocus on for 6 hours. It’s all about strengths and weaknesses and finding people and jobs that are compatible.

    Nothing you’ve said I inherently disagree with, your tone is just so aggressively dismissive and accusatory.



  • Competent at what specifically? Basic daily life like chores and dishes? External motivators are way better than internal. I never clean “for myself”. I clean because my wife needs it for her emotional well-being, and I clean because it would be embarrassing for guest or maintenance to see it.

    Other potential options are therapy and medication, but I acknowledge the privelage of having them and that many people dont have that as an option. And obviously I’m just some dude so take it all as anecdotal evidence.

    But for me it comes down to I will rarely do things for myself, so mentally framing them as for other people makes it easier
