Do You Personally Know a Transcendental Genius?
Let's say the transcendental genius group is the kind of intellect that is one in 1,000,000 among the population, so there's 7,000 of them alive today.
If so:
What is their field?
What are they working on?
What are their achievements?
What is holding them back?
Alternatively (if you have more time):
Can you share their story?
If you can really keep track of 150 relationships, those 7,000 are close to 1,000,000 other people. If you say that at least 1 in 1,000 of people have delusions of grandeur, you are looking at a population 7 times bigger so that first answer that got voted down is the canonical one.
i have personally known four, and heard of others. probably HN people would not accept them out of atheistic/materialistic bias, so IMO it's not worth saying more.
no, just a few irrational ones.
