This comment thread is frustrating to read. You said: >You seem to think that geniuses are made by their upbringing. From the comment you are replying to: >There's absolutely a genetic component, and they are born that way, but in the wrong environment, they fail to launch. You seem more focused on disagreeing than on actually engaging with the point being made which is that "no discernible environmental or cultural factors at play" (your words) isn't strictly true, because (your words) "a genius can be destroyed by his environment."
