Nice! LE! You only get a few seconds at the top, look around, see the new, then your journey continues. Perhaps you come back a genius, or a prick, or start over.
> In art, there are always two sides: the artist and the audience.
Yeah but if the audience is too fucking stupid to recognize a scam then don't they kinda deserve to get scammed anyway?
> And if the artist flies too high, the audience may lose sight of them.
That sounds like the sort of expression a bottom feeder would use.
> What I mean is, if you’re too much of a genius, your audience may get lost.
Not to season moldy bread or anything but I guess you could always dumb down the script.
> Let’s suppose what you’re doing is so complex and revolutionary that no one else in the world is capable of understanding it. Then chances are, no one else in the world is capable of enjoying it either.
Well yeah I mean don't you think those hermit guys are a little creepy like they might be into kids or something like that?
> Victor Hugo’s point was that once you become a genius on the level of Dante, you can be as great as he was, but not greater.
Well since third floor would be higher than second but neither of those is really high enough to provide a lethal fall impact.
> Now, I don’t know if you’re a Dante-level genius, but if you are, I’d say you run the risk of losing your audience.
Good thing I'm not.

The high rule of communication is that the listener understands what you are saying. If you are a genius, you may need someone to translate what you say. Some things require some thought and a prolonged thinking about, because it challenges you.
People are not much into being challenged now.
Back to the high rule. If you are not communicating, then you need to change something. Not the audience,
My thought on this is that through the work of the genius, the thoughts and minds of the majority are opened and lifted up, allowing the next genius and his contemporaries to soar ever higher. Just a thought.
That's a really interesting take. My artist friend was really frustrated about the response he got once and I said, "I think, sometimes, you may be too smart for your own good." He appreciated it haha.
Think different, that's it.
There are real geniuses. There are self-proclaimed geniuses. And there are geniuses by accident.
I love geniuses by accident.
We all have a chance.
Ha! I can imagine your friend replying "thanks a lot, motherfucker."
I wouldn't lose faith.
Never thought I’d be relieved that I am not as genius as Dante or Milton or Tolkien. But now I kinda am.
You’re welcome, man.
Much appreciated! 🫡

Yeah, life is short.
The greatest of genius isn't in the leaving behind, that comes quite quickly even at lower levels.
The true wonder and terror is in the genius taking others along.
Never to be as they are, to see as they see, think as they think...
But such sights to show, like a shining star!
Undoubtedly greater than a pretentious midwit who doesn't understand that it isn't that he is high, but that people are lowly.
Though, woe to any man who can't find fun in the "lowly".
Absolutely.
I feel seen...
Thanks, Randall.

This metaphor is semitic.

you the writer.
You communicate well to me,
genius or not.
Thanks, Linda!

Sounds reasonable.

While I agree that generally this is true, is it wrong to dream of a world where someone understands my vision. Is it truly to much to hope for.😔
Genius is just other way of saying that guy thinks differently. So if you want to be Genius think in a different perspectives .
Loved the read….
Thanks, Frederick.
