When we consider it at all, we're inclined to deny it,
deconstruct it, or explain it away as an "ideology of
genius." Geniuses of the past seem to have been perched on
their pedestals so that we might drag them down. "People

Rihanna, Jay-Z and Serena Williams all make me squirm. When I consider them at all, I'm inclined to deny her or reconstruct her. When I read her twitter account about the Indonesian sex show or the illegal photo shoot in front of the Taj Mahal I'm inclined to deny him/her or explain them away as an "ideology of genius". Geniuses of the past seem to have been perched on their pedestals so that we might drag them down. "People love to come up with reasons for saying Rihanna was not a genius,"
