Calling someone a “genius” is like a frog in a well saying its friend is the greatest swimmer—without ever seeing the ocean. 1% reality comprehending "genius," but genius as to what? Relative to who? In comparison to where?
Humans love throwing around the word "genius," but genius as to what?
Relative to who?
In comparison to where?
Let’s face it—our greatest minds are only impressive to us.
We see less than 1% of light, hear about 1% of sound, and can’t even comprehend most of what’s happening in the universe.
Einstein? Sure, he’s a genius among earthlings—but, cosmic scale, it’s like a chimp solving a toddler picture, [ over colored for obvious purposes # enlarged exaggerated puzzle and calling it groundbreaking.
Maybe the better title is, "A Genius Among Us Earthlings"—at least that’s honest.
Because when life beyond Earth becomes undeniable (and let’s be real, it’s only a matter of time), we’ll need a dose of humility to stay reasonable and '' prove '' - I repeat, '' prove '' real McCoy sentience beyond Enlil's cosmetician's cosmic trickery.
The universe is far too vast for our little fishbowl egos.

To call anyone a “genius” based on human achievements alone is like fish in a pond calling one of their own an explorer while ignoring the ocean
Humans can only see less than 1% of the electromagnetic spectrum, hear about 1% of the sound frequencies around us, and detect an extremely narrow range of smells and tastes compared to what exists. Our brains, despite their complexity, operate at a fraction of their potential, limited by our biology. Even the best minds, like Einstein, were working within these constraints.
Now consider this: the observable universe spans 93 billion light-years, and that’s just what we can detect. The multiverse, if it exists, could be infinitely larger. To call anyone a “genius” based on human achievements alone is like fish in a pond calling one of their own an explorer while ignoring the ocean—and the cosmos beyond.
What we celebrate as intelligence is impressive only within our tiny, limited frame of existence. To think otherwise is to shrink our potential and close our minds to the vastness of possibilities beyond Earth and humanity.
Calling someone a “genius” is like a frog in a well saying its friend is the greatest swimmer—without ever seeing the ocean.
Humans think we’re so smart, but here’s the truth: we only see less than 1% of all light, hear just 1% of sounds, and smell a tiny fraction of what’s actually out there. Our brains? They work at a small percentage of their potential, like running the world's fastest car in first gear. Even Einstein, as brilliant as he was, was only a genius by human standards.
Now think bigger. The universe we can see is 93 billion light-years wide, and that’s just the stuff we know about. If there are other universes (and scientists say there might be), we’re talking about endless possibilities we can’t even imagine. Calling someone a “genius” is like a frog in a well saying its friend is the greatest swimmer—without ever seeing the ocean.
When you look at the universe, our achievements are tiny. Let’s stop acting like Earth is the only place that matters and start thinking beyond our little fishbowl.
Maybe the better title is, "A Genius Among Us Earthlings"—at least that’s honest.
Because when life beyond Earth becomes undeniable (and let’s be real, it’s only a matter of time), we’ll need a dose of humility to stay reasonable and '' prove '' - I repeat, '' prove '' real McCoy sentience beyond Enlil's cosmetician's cosmic trickery.
