    I’ll say feed, house, and educated a thousand people in hopes that one of them generates something innovative

      it’s so tragic how much genius we have lost due to poverty, how many people smarter than Einstein have never had the opportunity to get an education?

        I would argue even further that genius is something that is cultivated in a person by placing them in an environment that encourages their creativity and is tailored to their strengths.

          it’s a bit of both. everyone should have access to quality education. if we don’t give the best education to the very select few who have access to it. the chances of getting a truly unique genius are minimal, give that to everyone and see humanity advance
