    i like her, many scientists get frustrated when "idiotic" theories are thrown at them but she's so calm and nice.

      Not totally true, a fact is a fact. You are talking about subjectives.

      ***** You sort of are. The way in which you wrote your second comment suggests that while they may be considered idiotic now, they could have been factual in the past. This doesn't apply the modifier of "considered" to the section of your statement wherein you say they were factual. And whether or not something is a fact exists independently of contemporary consideration.

      ***** Well... that really is my perspective on it. You can say whatever you want, but when it comes to trying to be accurate, all you can do is use the most probable (but likely soon to be disproven) theory

    I think a lot of genius also has to do with environment. There could be millions of potential geniuses walking around who simply had a poor education or a lack of encouragement. Then there's the motivation factor. A person is more likely to be innovative if they have a need for it or a financial incentive.

    I'm surprised by how patient she is when dealing with this guy.

    The fact the he is using "definitely not" means that in his mind he believes he can't.

    We all think differently. That's the truth, nobody thinks "better" and no one is "average" we classify individuals as "average" because they think similarly relative to the majority of those around them. Being "average" is about not wanting to branch out and think in your own way. Basically, it is conformity. For example, someone who gets D's and F's in school may be able to solve a very complex math problem, by thinking in their own way. I believe that this should be a valid explanation. Albert Einstein was correct, we judge "genius" mainly on mathematical and scientific or even academic ability, however, there is more than one kind.

    I disagree with all human beings, being pioneers. We started as tribal communal animals, driven to diversify by environmental pressure as with all life forms that exist. We all have some imagination, but it's psychotic to venture far from the familiarity in a world that can and will kill you. Many great scientific discoveries such as penicillin happened in a serendipitous fashion, because we aren't naturally prone to explore, usually it's only a small percentile that is you could see it as psychopathy, but it is ultimately genius. People are imaginative, curious, and creative, but we're not all pioneers eager to explore life or death terrain.

    I think the environment someone grew in, the education received and the overall experience someone have in life is what create geniuses. Especially in young child, when the brain is still developing and adapting to its environment and needs, but adults can become genius from experience and passion. Most of the population have that potential. I don't think that looking at the structure of a genius brain can help much, but DNA might help. That is only my grain of salt and an opinion.

    Something about the interviewer is really off, I've noticed it in the other videos too. Creepy.

      Sebastian Richards I don't think so, I think he's just quite interested but tries not to get too excited and make claims and ask questions that he has no understanding of. He's just careful, but curious, what can come across as creepy sometimes, especially if you're trying to hide it :P

    Yes. Continuum of communication is collective. If you can share it with others you are Genius. Derp, derp I didn't go to high school.

    You are or your not... Unfortunately most "intellectuals" think it has to do with having your nose in a book all day,.... "You know what the sad part is? You have doing this your whole life" happy gilmore.. Some are naturally gifted

    I see UFO's. too. Derp. They wake me up with vibration & I go outside and see "halos" around planets and 🌟. Red rays are the color of ice crystals entering the atmosphere. The morning after it looks like diamonds have fallen from the sky.
