What is a genius? Not doubting the extent to which teaching practices are related to producing "geniuses", I think an issue with the topic is also framing (and therefore identifying) what defines a "genius". Taking into account the examples mentioned in the article, they all come from (understandably) "classical" (and broad) categories. I'd wager that there are more geniuses out there in the world, being that the landscape is much greater as there are far more niches to dive into. In my opinion the larger problem and why there's a decline in the "classical" genius is that it's being applied to a completely different frame, which are the present times. The definition of genius needs different criteria in order to make sense in today's world.
