I'm curious to 1 - the music and 2 - the funny spherical moving things in the background

Plus they missed the bad handwriting thing - one of my teachers always said that people with really bad handwriting who are academic are geniuses because their brain works too fast for them to get it all down on paper :erm:

I have really bad handwriting too for that reason. Also, chocolate is a superfood. Cocoa beans are good for your heart, brain, blood, skin, liver, and more. It has been shown that those who eat chocolate perform better on academic tests.

Anyway :lol: the best dosage of chocolate is 30g a day. The only food that even comes close to chocolate is tomato :smile:

there was this great french dish my host family cooked once, they used the shell of a tomato to fill it with a sort of pork meat and then cooked that in the oven
that was good
other than that ketchup, tomato soup (rarely), beans and pizza (some casseroles as well) are the only times that I eat tomato :erm:
How are your academics?
Me too!

This is a question that's asked to gifted individuals and there is only one correct answer to it. What came first, the chicken or the egg? (Explanation required).

The egg. Before there were chickens there were dinosaurs, and they laid eggs.
Literally everything in this video could be applied to just about everyone. Let's be honest, the entire point of the video is to make averagish, perhaps slightly above average people, feel as though they're geniuses. Although some of these traits might contribute to being a genius, the video is largely irrelevant :7

This.

True geniuses don't seek approval.

I can't tell you any more than the video can. There's so many different types of genius imo that the current definition of genius, and the connotations attached to it, are way too linear to be representative of all the types of genii (geniuses?)
