Albert Hoffman is #1 on Top 100 living geniuses list

I hope this hasn't been posted yet.

British geniuses feature heavily in a recent list that notes the greatest living thinkers of our time - proportionately more than any other country.

The top 100 living geniuses was compiled by a panel of six experts in creativity and innovation from Creators Synectics, a global consultants firm.

The company emailed 4,000 Britons this summer and asked them to nominate up to 10 living people who they considered geniuses.

Each genius was then awarded scores out of ten against criteria which included: paradigm shifting; popular acclaim; intellectual power; achievement and cultural importance.

"British geniuses feature heavily in a recent list that notes the greatest living thinkers of our time - proportionately more than any other country."

ooh, thats interesting. I wonder. Why were there so many Britons on the list? (reading on...)


"The company emailed 4,000 Britons this summer and asked them to nominate up to 10 living people who they considered geniuses."

C'mon...Give me a break. This is why I hate statistics and polls. Could it be that British people are likely to be more familiar with Brits than any other nationality? :banghead:

That list is bullshit. Its based more on notoriety than intellect.... I'd at least expect to see michio kaku on there. thats one smart mofo.

Can the critics still deny that the geometry of matter is directly related to the harmonic interweaving of light itself? There is no substance, in the absolute sense. We live in a reality of un-reality; all is an illusion and the stuff that dreams are made of. Our physical world is nothing more than a resonating ball of light and shade."

"America touts itself as the land of the free, but the number one freedom that you and I have is the freedom to enter into a subservient role in the workplace. Once you exercise this freedom you've lost all control over what you do, what is produced, and how it is produced. And in the end, the product doesn't belong to you. The only way you can avoid bosses and jobs is if you don't care about making a living. Which leads to the second freedom: the freedom to starve."
