Genius has many Japanese equivalents which you might find interesting. The first, which I think is the Genius that G2K speaks against, is the conception of Kisai, the wizard genius, or shunsai, the born and gifted genius, super-human in his capacity. Reserved for deities and glorifying politicians and influential humans. Then there is sousakuryoku. Creative Power, Originality, Genius. My favorite, though, and I believe yours: kuoryou. The hidden talent. Why do you love this word so? Because it is also the word for a rain dragon. You can find the connection, I am sure, and make a more worthy post to the lists than I can. _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list Nettime-bold@nettime.org http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
