A definition of genius I really like is “talent hits the target others can’t hit, genius hits the target others can’t see”. Partly because it is based on actions rather than personality (do something over be someone) and partly because my actions occasionally qualify. 😎

On days your genius visits you can hit what others can’t see. On other days you can expect to work at showing off your talent at best. And talent is neither necessary, nor sufficient for genius generally. Mediocrities might get higher frequency genius visits by being more open.

One reason I’ve been in a bit of a funk for the last few years is that I haven’t felt like I’m hitting targets others can’t see for a while. I don’t think I’ve hit one since Premium Mediocre (note: once you hit it, everybody has always-already seen it).

I think some of your posts lately have been on topics that deal with more uncertainty. That makes them more relevant to me. I get the impression you are spending more time and words on the "searching for a cheap trick" phase of the double freytag.
