Great insight.

16:30 he/she doesn't actually give us an answer correct?
Am I wrong for thinking that was neither transparent or collaborative?

[@bakerkawesa]

There's some smart people out there. But most of us are simply lucky. I never mistake my luck for genius.

[@suramyasingh4529]

[@Zerradable]

Regardless of economical system.

[@shadotunga5529]

Oh, I fell in love with that young lady. She conquered my soul!

[@GS-ee5if]

22:26 "But you can also be really miserable making a lot of money. So that's not something I actually consider." She just confirmed that she is, in fact, a Genius.

[@PerspectiveEngineer]

[@Gaurav-cy5lu]

If you have some common sense, think logically and could have a nice conversation. You are a genius.

[@prdamico]

It means I am both blessed and cursed at the same time, it is a lonely existence, lol, but never boring.

[@100c0c]

You're not a genius.

[@michaelblankenau6598]

Pretty sure you're not even close to genius .

[@adventurousloner]

Geniuses can always seem to have a dark side because nothing will stop them from achieving their goal(s). But, I don't think any real perceived genius has ever self proclaimed themselves as such. Just like being enlightened.

[@corruptsociety9146]

The homie Trump be a genius no cap. Trump 2024

[@clydecmcelroy4638]

Well at least we know you're not a genius

[@michaelblankenau6598]
