You can roughly measure genius by looking at the (domain-relative) complexity of toolchain a person needs to have impact of a given scale

So by this notional math, and factoring in toolchain complexity, he would weigh in at at least million times more genius. I'd be 1 μR.

I dunno, I'd say the British empire is at least as complex as the Internet. The Internet is perhaps a net simplification.

Tools are good measure because they are output agnostic in sense of "talent hits what others can't hit/genius hits what others can't see"

You could compare the genius levels of an archer versus a sniper without the tool complexity confounding the comparison

Does "baseline" rise over time? Distribution on 'net > paper, but you compete w/contemporaries who use the same tools for distribution.

Ramanujan's ideas are distributed via web today—even playing ground? Might not be important if measure of genius is "initial" impact.
