Dear all, due to a delayed train, I won’t be able to make it to campus on time for the session today. This is unfortunate since I wanted to discuss the idea of “the genius” today.
However, if you find yourself on campus anyway with other students there, think about the following questions and discuss them:
Who counts as a genius? Give concrete names.
What do they have in common?
What is the genius exempt from that non-geniuses aren’t?
Is this a description of what these people are — or a description of what we have decided to allow them?
If we abandoned the category tomorrow — what would we miss, if anything?
I will write up more on this on the blog.
Until then, see you next week.
Victoria
