We see here the evolution of the word genius, and how it has been radicalized to associate with star status.
Michael Jackson - a musical genius (even though half of his songs suck).
Albert Einstein - a science genius (even though half of his theories are wrong) .
Michio Kaku - a “super” genus (even though he doesn’t even believe 911 conspiracy.)
Genius= Someone who thinks of or does a task we’re too lazy to think of our do ourselves.
Genie 4 us.
MasterChief is a prime example of this, a combat genius.
