Observations and Reflections of a Genius

Not a good choice of word "genius" to begin with.

• I think the word genius is ambiguous to begin with. - It's a term often used by mediocre to maintain self-respect by isolation with a label saying "that's heterogeneous". - Well, it's better than them coming to kill me. - relevance - An ordinary man killing a genius - Attacking the unfamiliar without looking at it properly.

I feel "[Some kind of smarts.

• What is this "certain cleverness"?
  • The fact that you want to prefix the word "sort of" means that it is a different concept than the default "intelligence".

  • @shogochiai: this ability is not [IQ

  • We need metrics that can measure this capability.

    • @shogochiai: metagame strength

The Learning Cycle of an engineer's intellectual production

• Normal learning process
• 1: Collect information and arrange it at the bottom
• 2: Think about it and pile it up on the top step.
• 3: Apply and learn from the results - Learning Cycle (old) is more well written. - I'm suspicious of anything that looks neatly put together.
• Some people see study as classroom learning and overlook the importance of 3

That genius is spinning the learning cycle at high speed, or is it?

• Well, you could say that and you could say that they don't.
• I get the feeling that you're jumping to the easy explanation that "the learning is greater because we're running the learning cycle at a higher speed."
• That doesn't explain the existence of a "certain kind" of "cleverness."

Learning by turning the cycle of learning is the high road.

• I feel we're taking the not-so-high road.
