EXPOSURE TO HUMAN GENIUS
Do you remember what your phone number was when you were seven years old? If you do, then do you make that information proudly known to others? If you do, then you have been gifted with a brain of uncommon dimensions and power. That little clue is enough to allow me to reach that conclusion. But you are not a genius. A genius will have remembered the same data. But will never tell anyone, having learned quickly enough that the revelation of such information so separates him or her from the great mass of society around that exclusionary treatment will almost certainly follow.
High intellect is not all about measurable tests. Those tests are usually written, which lends a skewed advantage to those who have a better understanding of the language the test is given in. High intellect does not have to translate into numbers or musical usage or understanding. High intellect is about observation and perception. What we can give out is a direct factor of what we can take in plus the processing we bring to that presentation, even if such a presentation is never made public. A successful person of high intellect, acting as an agent, enters the personal office of an executive target, or maybe the executive target is already there. The agent looks at the small library the executive keeps in his office. The agent, with merely a passing glance, memorizes every volume in the executive’s library. Later that agent ‘downloads’ the information to a hard copy for analysis. A tremendous amount can be learned just by knowing what the executive reads and where in the library his or her books might be located.
That agent is gifted to be able to do that. The genius agent, as opposed to merely gifted, might relate such a story to describe what it was like to work in the world of cutting-edge field intelligence. At some later date, the person he told about the work might enter the former agent’s home and be left in his or her library. That person might take in as much of the library as possible, to use such information in a manner as the agent related. But a genius agent has already thought of that and has the library set up for exactly such perusal. The information learned by the visitor is skewed in whatever way the former agent chooses.
Dealing with human genius is mostly not to know who you may be dealing with it. They are among us, but they are disguised, like proverbial (and nonexistent) vampires. To reveal themselves, or the truth of how they think is to also know that one day soon, from the time of such revelation, a wooden stake is being prepared for them.
So, how would you know one of these people of extreme intellect if you ran into them? Not by playing chess or poker with them as they are smart enough to lose most games. Not by listening to them lecture on Quantum Theory or advanced scientific treatises. No, you’d have to watch for them using simpler quantifiers. Look for the ‘glint of intellect.’ When you look into an intensely intelligent person’s eyes, they give off a glint. That sparkle comes from the intensity of analysis they just put you through, like the sweep of a probe on Star Trek. That feeling you get that they know what you know and your secrets. It follows the glint. So, when you run into one of these rare humans either prepare yourself to encounter adventure or…. get to work sharpening a stake.
