THE GENIUS FAMINE: WHY WE NEED GENIUSES, WHY THEY’RE DYING OUT, WHY WE MUST RESCUE THEM
Book ID/图书代码： 07869919C00022
English Summary/英文概要： Geniuses are rare and exceptional people; but the great ideas, discoveries and inventions of human history, which have allowed the development of civilization itself, were the products of geniuses. The Genius Famine finds that a genius combines extremely high intelligence with a unworldly, intuitive personality. Geniuses will seldom fit-into normal society, they will seldom want to. And we shouldn’t want them to, because it is their unusual and socially-difficult nature which drives geniuses to come up with original ideas, and solutions to otherwise unsolvable problems. But modern society has been hit by a genius famine. There are ever-fewer geniuses and, to make matters worse, modern society has become actively hostile to those few geniuses we still have. The Genius Famine explores the nature of genius, why the genius famine has happened, how the famine will lead to the decline of civilization, and what we can and should do to overcome it.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 天才是稀有而杰出的人；但是，人类历史上那些使文明得以发展的伟大思想、发现和发明，都是天才的产物。天才饥荒发现，一个天才具有极高的智商和超凡脱俗、直觉敏锐的个性。天才很少能融入正常的社会，他们也很少想要融入。我们不应该希望他们这样做，因为正是他们的不寻常和社交困难的天性，促使天才们想出原创的想法，并解决无法解决的问题。但现代社会却遭受了天才饥荒的打击。天才越来越少，更糟糕的是，现代社会对我们仍然拥有的少数天才充满敌意。《天才饥荒》探讨了天才的本质，为什么会发生天才饥荒，饥荒将如何导致文明的衰落，以及我们可以和应该做些什么来克服它。（WYL）
