  1. I somewhat disagree, I think a lot of real smart people overestimate idiots.
  2. Yup
  3. Alan Turing is my guy! Always remember the British government did him dirty for being gay. Shame on you, British gov.

i’d nominate Ramanujan as the geniuses’ genius: he had basically no formal education on mathematics, and yet he solved problems that the rest of the world collectively couldn’t crack.

A genius wouldn’t post something this pointless and idiotic in the first place. If they felt inclined to, they would likely not think it worth the time.
