How to Think About Genius (Helen Lewis)

from Pulling The Thread with Elise Loehnen · host Elise Loehnen

In her new book, The Genius Myth, journalist Helen Lewis explores how and why we label certain people geniuses; and the impact this has on said geniuses, us, and culture at large. Today, we talk about our perception of the exceptional, and some of our more pernicious and dark misperceptions.   For the show notes, head over to my Substack.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
