"Most of the allure of the information age is that ideas can be shared among huge groups of people. But among the superintelligent, that’s often not the case – they’re speaking a different language."
I've found this to be true. There's an art to taking extremely complex ideas and distilling them down into something simple. In this, Feynman was a virtuoso.
