The free sharing and teaching of open source is incompatible with the notion of the solitary genius.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The accomplishment of open source is that it is the back end of the web, the invisible part, the part that you don't see as a user.
No one can arrive from being talented alone, work transforms talent into genius.
Genius is never understood in its own time.
I think open source is an evolutionary idea for humanity, this idea of transparency. It played out for us in the technology world, but it also played out with the idea of a truth and reconciliation commission and Wikipedia.
Genius without education is like silver in the mine.
Genius must be born, and never can be taught.
Genius is not a possession of the limited few, but exists in some degree in everyone. Where there is natural growth, a full and free play of faculties, genius will manifest itself.
Open source is a beautiful way of collaborating; but what's happening on the free Internet is more akin to the 'crowdsourcing' of journalists and other content creators by advertisers who no longer have to pay them - only the search engines that parse their articles.
Genius is independent of situation.
Conversation enriches the understanding, but solitude is the school of genius.
