So you consider it a flash of genius because it led you to produce a paper that trivializes the relevance of scarcity (to greatly simplify)? Without commenting on the merit of the thesis, people get flashes of insight all the time that seem totally genius to them. Regardless of what you wrote, I would wait until it's actually validated by further scientific consensus before calling that any kind of vindication of the phenomenon of sudden genius. And your other example is that ... you produced art? As in, the famously capricious, easily duped community? That may not be the slam dunk you think it is. With that said, you definitely were productive in some sense, and I don't mean to trivialize that in anyway -- it's certainly more than I accomplished over the same time! It's just ... "genius" is a stretch. By the same token, I could claim I unconvered something major with my "fish would be bad swimming instructors" idea: http://blog.tyrannyofthemouse.com/2023/05/chatgpt4-refines-my-argument-about-fish.html http://blog.tyrannyofthemouse.com/2023/05/chatgpt4-refines-m...
