1. ?? You do realize there are self-appointed geniuses who actually make this kind of arguments, right?
2. That snake-oil AI paper guy, right though he may be here, you know he's jealous of Bitcoin, right? Wrote a whole academic paper trying to justify how Bitcoin wouldn't exist w/o academia. If he was so smart, why didn't he write Bitcoin himself?
3. If this was so obvious and you're so smart, why didn't you write it yourself?
- yowlingcat 7y agoAre you seriously asking me why I didn't write something which I just told you is a worthless thing to spend time writing about? Probably because I think it's a worthless thing to spend time writing about. I'm not sure what you're trying to prove here. Look, just because I don't buy your argument doesn't mean I buy the premise that "genius" exists the way it's constructed in society. I find that pretty fallacious too, but for different reasons. I don't think you're going to get to the core of why genius is a flawed concept with a strained analogy to computational complexity (which doesn't work) rather than by digging into historical context. I think if you focus on that, you'll probably make more progress on coming up with something interesting to say.
