His IQ is average. A stew of money, a learned family real estate construction dealing, celebrity promotion, dirty pals, and tv ratings obsession have been served up as "genius IQ". His advisors are traitors.

The obsession with discipline drives me batty. The reason the free market works is not because everyone is a genius but because NOBODY knows what will work and many people are trying many different things!

This obsession with IP and control, however, is also what made Walt such a genius businessman entrepreneur and marketer, and he was decades ahead of his time in terms of where the economy and the Spectacle were developing

Writing about Musk's DOGE for a chapter in my book about gamer politics -- this man has had a childlike obsession with a meme for over a decade.
That anyone would consider him a genius when I'm fairly certain he could be distracted by YouTube videos of dancing fruit is shocking.

Everyone has figured out that a cheat code to getting him to do what you want is to agree with whatever asinine but ultimately harmless obsession he has at the moment and praise him for his vision and genius

If I believed it was on purpose I would be forced to soberly credit it as an act of genius and fully in keeping with the theme of the original work. The true threat isn't the whale, it's the obsession — even if Ahab wins, his obsession destroys him anyway.

The American people don't want politics focused on trans people. Democrats have never been focused on trans people, while Republicans have made their obsession with trans people central to their messaging and goals.
It doesn't take a political genius to say that.

I have never resolved the contradiction of the house dem obsession with doomed to fail "message bills" and their expressed belief that you shouldn't fight battles you can't win. Fake trying is genius politics, actual trying is loser shit

Convicted Felon Donald Trump - vile piece of trash.
You've heard him: "straight out of central casting," "beautiful woman," "low IQ individual," "I'm a very stable genius."
He's garbage.
