Scott Kaufman & Helen Lewis I ascribe to the words of Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter who famously opined that he could not define #pornogaphy, but he knew it when he saw it. To me the same is true of #GENIUS. Perhaps it cannot be readily defined but most of us recognize it when we observe it.

Every time I push the plug into the outlet ,I feel grateful to GENIUS engineer Nikola Tesla who investigated devises which made it possible the safe use of AC for humans.Every time I swallow the B12 pill I feel grateful for the Nobel Prize Winner Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin who investigated it's structure by X-ray analysis which made it possible the wide scale production of this vitamin.Using X-ray spectrometer cost her severe pain due to arthritis and disability yet she did not stop her research of bio molecules including antibiotics and sterols. She was a devoted scientist struggling to help to improve healthcare, altruist and GENIUS.

GENIUS is not the object to observe, it is the object for gratitude for innovations which brought more safety and comfort in our everyday activity.GENIUS is praised for his deeds, not just for fun

or as a strange unusual creature. We could observe such wonders as an elephant man or a man with two heads, but could not name them GENIUS until they invent something useful/extraordinary.
