Welcome back! In this episode of Applied Curiosity Lab Radio we chomp on a Curiosity Bite exploring how we define and identify genius.
Are you a genius? How do you know?
What is the biggest barrier to becoming a genius? Hint: It's not lack of intellect.
 
Discuss, debate, and dissect with us!
The lens is – and always will be – curiosity. Each week, fun informal conversations center around one delectable Curiosity Bite designed to give your brain the time and ideas to think about thinking, to flex your curiosity muscle… and maybe even… revolutionize the way you think.
This week's Curiosity Bite:
 
How do you define genius?
 
In this episode...Curious Questions asked and answered:
How do you become a genius?

What are the "ingredients" necessary to be considered a genius?

Why are there gender differences in who we consider genius?

Why did Wolfgang become a "genius" while his talented sister "Nanner" Mozart did not?

Why are children an external and internal obstacle to genius?

How often do you consider the difference between what you're uninterested in versus what you're disinterested in?
