How are geniuses created anyway?
By properly educating them and allowing them to grow into what they are capable of.
Case in point, if Einstein had been born in the 1920's-30's Germany before his "genius" was exposed, what probably would have been his fate?
How many geniuses did Jim Crow and slavery deny the US? Genocide and marginalization of the native Americans whose land we stole and currently live on?
What about the various religions which attack science at it's core, how many geniuses do they stifle in dogmatic obedience to ancient fallacies.
Want very smart people who can help solve very hard problems, put the growth of them ahead of profits, and it will happen here. Instead we monetize/politicize education and lose how many people who have the capability but were denied the opportunity by either out right bigoted prejudice (whether religious or racist) or just greed over intelligence in education.
