“Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect
from artists and geniuses -- and shares the radical idea that, instead of the
rare person "being" a genius, all of us "have" a genius.
It's a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk.”
Her story matches mine. There is mental churn which, in
genii, gives the subjective impression of somebody who has got ‘it’ fixed. But there
is too strong a flavour of magic. In essence the churn rearranges the knowledge, feelings and moods
(KFM) that are interactive in real time).
The only constant thing is change. Fingernails need clipping,
corpses need burying, mountains erode, galaxies flash in and out of ‘existence’.
It takes genius to see that the world is round, that heavier
than air machines can fly, and that a woman’s place is in the home.
One of Shakespeare’s characters reckons “that man thinks too
much, such men are dangerous”. This goes along with the idea of “keeping the
peasants in ignorance”; because ignorance is “bliss”.
