That has nothing to do with being a genius how good your grades are.
Many autistic people have the genius gene and can solve problems that the likes of me and you could not even comprehend.
Leonardo da Vinci was also genius level but didn’t even have academic training but he is considered a genius.
As for me being a genius in English grammar forget about that , but I’m a good speller , my geography is top notch , I can build you a house from scratch , I’m a brilliant DJ who has played in many good clubs , I can speak Portuguese , I boxed for 10 years and got to a
Very good level and I’ve travelled all over the world , and will challenge anybody on boxing knowledge from 1980 up to present day.
But writing forget it lol

- -What do you know about the claim his wife co-created the relativity concept?

BTW, got two lengthy bios on another genii, Douglas MacArthur wh alternately awed and infuriated his superiors. Both he and his father awarded Medal of Honors, achieved top general rank though Macs ultimate rank was as the Grand Poohbah of all the Pacific Islands and Asia, a kingdom dwarfing that of even the Kublai Khan.

Both he and pop relieved from duties for insubordination when their intelligence became humiliatingly insufferable for their superiors, ie Truman, a high school grad of common peasant stock.

Anyway, it's 1890 or so and Kid Macs learning to play poker from granddad, a Scottish immigrant and retired Federal Judge.

Mac has something akin to a full house and throws in all his chips before the ol guy *****s him with a higher hand.

Crestfallen, his granddad soothes him with a everything in life is relative to the moment and to move on.

That struck me as a high use of a "relatively" obscure word concept more commonly associated with family genealogy for turn of the 19th century.

Love to know what became of his heirs .

The "wife" argument got legs under back in the '70s when the feminists needed to tell us that women were better than men at everything.

I think it is unrealistic to think in extremes, i.e. that she had no input whatsoever or that she was a co author of the theory.

By his own admission his experiments were 'thought experiments' and one has to assume he spent much time bouncing ideas off her as he worked it out. (I believe she was a physicists as well.) So I suspect she must have played some role in its development, but as I said I would avoid the extreme conclusion in either direction.

I am not a fan of MacArthur.

What I am about to say I blame FDR and George Marshall for . . . many American soldiers (and many more Filipinos) died because of that man's ego.

The Philippine Islands should have been left to "whiter on the vine" as we were doing with many of the Pacific islands. Okinawa was close enough for our bombers to annihilate Tokyo. The Philippines was ground of no value except to MacArthur's ego.

I also feel the same way about the disaster in Korea, again he cost the lives of many American soldiers (and many more Koreans) with his arrogance.

I disagree with your assessment of Truman. I do not believe it was out of jealousy that he removed what I perceive as a man made grossly incompetent by arrogance.

The only in dept work I have read on MacArthur is Manchester's American Caesar. It was forced on me in grad school.

- -in Korea, he took a North Korea rout of the south pre UN TROOPS on the fly to have saved uncounted tens of thousands with his brilliant Inchon operation to have the North survivors fleeing across the Northern border of China within a couple weeks, a figure of 300,000 North POWs was mentioned.

It was only when hamstrung by Truman and UN political correctness of limiting strategy when the Chinese Reds invaded that the American and UN causualties spike. I'm starting Manchesters classic that covers the Philippines where he spent half his youth.

He was instrumental in the Japanese surrender starting when he flew his personal plane and staff into an airfield outside of Tokyo surrounded by two dug in divisions awaiting the American invasion steaming their way. Kamikaze pilots had been give last death rites. Churchill not one given lavish praise said it was the single bravest act he knew of.

The generals were so impressed his party was accorded obeisance limited for their emperor.

He is doubtless the most beloved American in Japanese history for his generous peace terms and in a few intense days wrote their constitution that gave women and workers legal protections, the modern Japan of today. Half the child bearing women of age wrote to him requesting he sire their children even as he was 70ish and happily married.

This from HWBrands modern update The General and The President where in falls in on the Truman side regarding the sacking that effective made him a premature lame duck Prez that birthed the I Like Ike takeover.
