GENIUS IS INNATE IN EXISTENCE
Genius is all around us. In the sun moon stars. In water soil life. For genius to be naturally around, but not naturally within, us is ludicrous!
This fact liberates and confounds . For, we wonder why this , why not that, or one thing or another daily .
Of course, many do not wonder ; have no need for such ; concern themselves with maximizing what is! In the same sense, this focus on the self trumps focusing on others.
I do not decry either perspective, nor lift one up above the other. On occasions each one of us are, or has been, all of these to succeed.
To the extent that there is a normal standard for man to adhere to, it is surely dynamic like nature, while at the same time it is constant like the circumpolar stars that are perfect, permanent, always visible, regular constant, fixed. From these stars and from allied astral phenomenon, man anciently deduced the notion , the ingenious ideas of the Creator-Gods (or God) existing before and creating the circumpolar stars and all else in the infrastructure of the oval heaven and earth, including mankind , especially mankind!
It was this same human genius that yielded names, languages, regular social rituals like hunting, planting , harvesting, preserving; number-letter-ideographic symbolism systems that produced: religion, philosophy, music, astronomy, art, geometry, arithmetic, all. It was not one natural fact, but both that brought these on--"both" being dynamism-constancy, the frictions!
Genius is innate in man and nature.
