A true genius doesn\u2019t think of themselves as a genius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we think of people worthy of the title \u201cgenius,\u201d we conjure images of Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla<\/a>, Jane Goodall<\/a>, Marie Curie, Mozart, or Brian Wilson<\/a>: people whose incredible talent, unique insights, and dogged work ethic opened our eyes to experiencing and understanding the world<\/a> in ways no one had before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their brilliance appears to exist in the stratosphere of human achievement, completely unattainable to the average person. However, according to philosophy expert Julian de Medeiros<\/a>, with a slight change in how you approach your work, you can take the first steps toward being a genius. De Medeiros is popular on TikTok<\/a> and Substack<\/a>, where he shares his thoughts on philosophy, focusing on intelligence, relationships, and freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to be a genius<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

First, de Medeiros outlines the common ideas of how people see genius, quoting Arthur Schopenhauer<\/a>\u2018s definition of genius: \u201cTalent hits a target no one else can hit. Genius hits a target no one else can see.\u201d As Marcel Proust<\/a> said, \u201cA genius creates his own posterity,\u201d meaning geniuses are often misunderstood in their lifetimes, but later appreciated for their achievements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The type of genius we can find within ourselves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the second class of genius, de Medeiros believes they have a mindset we can all tap into, one discussed by the 17th-century Dutch-Jewish philosopher Baruch Spinoza<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo my mind, genius is therefore a form of the Spinozian idea of conceived necessity. Someone who does what they were born to do; they can\u2019t do it otherwise,\u201d de Medeiros said in a TikTok video<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To put it simply, true genius exists in the deepest part of ourselves, compelling us to create something that no one else can. These ideas stem from the core of an individual and can\u2019t be replicated by anyone else. But to bring them to light requires you to stop caring about how others judge your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLike Camus<\/a> said, a genius, like, is someone who is so free that their very existence is a kind of rebellion,\u201d de Medeiros said. \u201cThey do something without caring what other people think or how it will be received.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He adds that we should be suspicious of people who call themselves geniuses or use that label as an excuse for erratic behavior: \u201cWhereas a true genius, and this is very important, doesn\u2019t think of themselves as a genius. They don\u2019t worry about that at all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding your inner genius<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No two people see the world in the same way. There is no one else who has had the same realizations, joys, sorrows, triumphs, and disappointments as you. Your inner voice and feelings are unique, and sharing them with the world is your first step on the path to genius. The key is creating without caring whether your work makes money, gets a lot of likes on social media, or fits the current fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your unique ideas, mixed with passion and courage, are the formula that can put you on the narrow path that few have trod before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA genius is someone who doesn\u2019t even care about how their work is perceived,\u201d de Medeiros said. \u201cThey live for their work. The work is its own reward. And in so doing, they can achieve something monumental. That is the mark of a true genius. And if you wanna be one, that\u2019s how you should work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
