{"product_id":"the-genius-famine-9781908684608","title":"The Genius Famine","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe live in a society where, for whatever reason, genius tends to be unacknowledged, denied, ignored or even (usually for 'politically correct' reasons) actively persecuted. For the past four hundred years, geniuses have been common to all the major humanities and sciences, art, literature, medicine, law, politics, the military and religion - yet today they have almost disappeared.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA genius combines extremely high intelligence with an unworldly, intuitive personality. Geniuses will seldom fit into normal society; they will seldom want to. Nor should they, since it is their unusual and socially-difficult nature which drives geniuses to come up with original ideas, make breakthrough discoveries or solve unyielding problems by intuitive insight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut modern society has been hit by a genius famine. There are ever fewer geniuses and modern society has become actively hostile to those we still have. \u003cem\u003eThe Genius Famine\u003c\/em\u003e explores the nature of genius, why the genius famine has happened, how it threatens civilization and what we can and should do to overcome it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10824893\"\u003eEdward Dutton\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-13003328\"\u003eBruce G.
