genius

asked 5 years ago

Hello Rabbi
What do you think is genius and who do you think is a genius? If you can give examples,
Do you think Yeshayahu Leibowitz was a genius?
Do you think Aharon Barak is aware of his staggering hypocrisy?

I don’t know how to define genius. This is a question of arbitrary definition and I can’t answer it. There is no doubt that Leibovitz was very talented, and so was Aharon Barak. Aharon Barak, like most of us, went with his own perceptions, and I assume that like the rest of us, he was not always aware of the assumptions implicit in them.

It is easy to see that all the great mathematicians and physicists were space geniuses.

In B”D
If I remember correctly, the rabbi in one of his lessons defined the moment of scientific discovery as a flash of genius (I don't guarantee the exact wording)

Rabbi Michi,
How come you are called Leibowitz but not Steinsaltz?

Genius is measured by IQ. And Akmal”l
