Good stuff Ruby, thank you.

[@rezadaneshi]

There is a hairline between genius and insanity. It's when we spot our own insanity, is when we're geniuses and then take it too far and spot our own insanity again. We are the chaos lost in the trigger of our own meaning making machine.

Genius by definition is exceedingly rare. Narcissism, on the other hand, is very common.

[@rezadaneshi]

@@lkae4Perhaps confusion and chaos is the omission that all geniuses and insane are narcissist by definition. By definition, looking up definitions might be your genius moment, but just like my comment, it was definitely narcissistic.

[@Tao_Tology]
