Genius is a comparative word, standing on the shoulders of idiots. Seriously. An Individual/Action/Creation is Genius when compared to a large number of poor quality/outcome actions. Without the LARGE number of failures, Genius label won't apply. #philsky

David Treuer wrote enjoyable comedy. "Reservations" are 'known' as a place Indian's live off Gov't handouts. As a young adult, David announces he's from a Reservation, and is then surprised when people assume he is only 'alive' due to the effort of others, rather than his own hard work.

"The idea that the mind plays an active role in structuring reality is so familiar to us now that it is difficult for us to see what a pivotal insight this was for Kant." Hilariously false. Few people truly 'know' the mind plays an active role in structuring reality. #philpsy

Thinking more on Anscombe's concept of Injustice, there's a language problem. The word has 2 definitions. Morality and the Legal System. By Def 2, the Legal System can never be injust. By Def 1, a man could be convinced of breaking a law he technically didn't break #philsky #moralphilosophy
