I agree that every society can produce geniuses (although the rate and level of production is the real issue), and also that intelligence needs to be applied. Perhaps the most important ingredient to genius is actually creativity, something that does not appear to be directly heritable. I also agree that eq is generally more important for success in society and that most jobs, even well paying ones, don't actually require a high degree of intelligence at all. Still, society is carried forward by geniuses, so their importance can't be underestimated.


How do you believe creativity is linked to genius/intelligence?    Then there must be some real geniuses operating in the gaming industries ;-p creating costumes, scenarios, towns and detailed landscape, characters, art style, battle systems, basically creating a new dimension from scratch ;-p 

but exactly what creativity is though is another question.

Intelligence in the arts and creativity is attributed to having strong amounts of right brained activity. I would know, I play  Sing, play guitar and sometimes play Piano. I was pre juliard and learned to play most by ear. 

What I lack is skill. Creativity and adeptness is a gift...Skill is what I need to strive for. Same goes for anyone who is adept at anything.
