I think what set them apart is the ability to think hard on an original problem. So they don't have to be alone, just their pursuits are a little unique.

This is the best thing I've watched in my life . I'm a solitary person N I think every genius do there own discovery by themselves without anybody help .

The network of people stay behind the genius to apply what the genius says, it takes MANY to accomplish what ONE can see. ONE can conceive, plan and realise a whole lot more than can be done with 2 hands.

Right. Going through the comprehensive biographies helps with this.

I don't get what you are trying to say, they were smart enough to work with other people, but the accomplishments that mark them as geniuses they did completely alone. No other mind than Einstein's could have accomplished what he did, meaning you could remove Einstein from history and take some other different human from that time and insert them into Einstein's life, the same predecessors, influences, and contemporary collogues and there is a solid argument that the world today in 2023 wouldn't look much different than it did in the 1950's.

Nice, solitary geniuses aren't really a term as you proved. Anyways love your content, Ali, keep the work up, I'm a fan!

Hey Ali.
I really appreciate your shorts and newsletter as they are though provoking but I disagree with what you said in this short.
I think the statement about solitary genius is more about flow state and I totally believe that it's a flow state in which we have an unmatched output.
