Step zero of the Feynman algorithm is always missed:
0. Spent years dismantling every idea or concept and understanding it intimately.
This is almost always done out of sight to maintain the illusion. When people don't see the hard work, they assume you're a genius, not just working hard. I don't think there are any geniuses as such; just people with drive and enough experience and possibly good brain plasticity :)
I can get a stupid high result on an IQ test. That doesn't mean I'm a genius, just that I read up on how they work.
- reikonomusha 11y agoSide note: Critically, IQ test results assume they've not been studied. A psychologist will usually ask the examinee beforehand whether he or she has "studied" or "read up on" the test.
- batou 11y agoDefinitely. Strategic cheating also gets mistaken for genius which is sort of my point.
- jleyank 11y ago"I don't think there are any geniuses as such". Overly facile statement. There are a fair number of people more than 2-3 standard deviations from the norm. In some fields we call them geniuses. In others, NBA centers, ... And then there's Messi.
