People throw the word #genius around because they do not know what the qualifications are.

Geniuses are few and rare as rocks in horse manure. Off the top of my head I can only think of von Neuman and Curie. But some #siliconvalley executive?

The amount of narcissism, sycophancy, spiritual co-opting, grifting and golden calf worshipping that goes on in those circles is so far from genius that it makes the intellect curdle.

#SteveJobs was no genius
and #ElonMusk is a moron.

I feel seen!!! My parents, both scientists, didn't like that I spent so much time on painting and photography. The small amount of time I spent on STEM allowed me to learn computer electronics, electrical engineering and physics by the time I turned a teen. I learned them all well enough to get straight As in college without studying. I aced my first college astronomy course in 6th or 7th grade.

I feel sympathy for him.

I am now working on implementing #lyrics into the script, or better to say the script can already get the lyrics thanks to the #genius #API library for python: pypi.org/project/lyricsgenius/
But getting lyrics for all songs is quite slow, I realise. Sure that must be done once, but I really have to implement a way of the #database updating, without indexing and regathering everything from 0 up.
That is something for another day, but shouldn't be too hard.
