FischerTal Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 it can extend to any field (science, economics, law,social work, etc) State your top 5 geniuses who have contributed vastly to humanity and advanced it in a positive manner whether by their research, intellectual wisdom, etc. State their profession. Also, if you want to, give a reason why you picked them. i am a science and economics/law lover so for me it would have to be 1)Richard Epstein-law professor :hail: :hail: 2) Milton Friedman (RIP)- economic thinker :hail: :hail: i consider him modern 3) Peter Higgs- physicist :hail: 4) J Craig Venter- biologist :hail: 5) Grigori Perelman-mathematician even though i still dont understand Riemannian geometry :(( special mention to Gary Kasparov and Bobby Fischer
FischerTal Posted May 25, 2013 Author Posted May 25, 2013 dennis ritchie :dontknow: yea sorry as i said only 5. i picked from fields i am most interested about. :two_thumbs_up:
FischerTal Posted May 25, 2013 Author Posted May 25, 2013 so you think these 3 are not geniuses :headshake: see OP, geniuses who contributed to humanity in positive manner.
Sachin=GOD Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 see OP' date=' geniuses who contributed to humanity in positive manner.[/quote'] and they have also contributed positively. Only thing is the definition of "humanity" - its quite vague so in their case it means immediate family and close friends.
FischerTal Posted May 25, 2013 Author Posted May 25, 2013 and they have also contributed positively. Only thing is the definition of "humanity" - its quite vague so in their case it means immediate family and close friends. i consider humanity to be the general welfare of the people. by your definition, even hitler was a genius.....for germans. i dont believe that :winky:

Detonator Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 Steve jobs - marketing. Steve jobs had flawless products to market. Surely he is genius in various fields. What he did with Pixar was absolutely one of the best decisions of that decade. No offence to him, but I would prefer someone who succeeded great with an ordinary product.
