Observations and Reflections of a Genius
Not a good choice of word "genius" to begin with.
I think the word genius is ambiguous to begin with.
It's a term often used by mediocre to maintain self-respect by isolation with a label saying "that's heterogeneous".
Well, it's better than them coming to kill me.

An ordinary man killing a genius
Attacking the unfamiliar without looking at it properly.

The fact that you want to prefix the word "sort of" means that it is a different concept than the default "intelligence".

The Learning Cycle of an engineer's intellectual production
学びのサイクル.icon
Normal learning process
1: Collect information and arrange it at the bottom
2: Think about it and pile it up on the top step.
3: Apply and learn from the results

That genius is spinning the learning cycle at high speed, or is it?
Well, you could say that and you could say that they don't.
I get the feeling that you're jumping to the easy explanation that "the learning is greater because we're running the learning cycle at a higher speed."
That doesn't explain the existence of a "certain kind" of "cleverness."
Learning by turning the cycle of learning is the high road.
I feel we're taking the not-so-high road.
