Gilbert's Exegesis of Genius


TED Talks 09 featured this inspired and deeply personal talk by author Elizabeth Gilbert on the nature of genius. From the site:
Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses -- and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person "being" a genius, all of us "have" a genius. It's a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk.
Bill Gates gave a rousing speech, and this bit from Bill Gross on genetic algorithms (from 2003) used to combine solar technology with the sterling engine made me really wonder how much potential there is yet to be discovered in utilizing the power of the sun.
