Part 29
In my last blog, I used the word “genius.” That set me to thinking, and I was reminded of something I read that was published in 1980 by the National Enquirer in the United States. The heading read, “24 Qualities That Geniuses Have in Common,” and these qualities were:
- Drive
- Courage
- Devotion to goals
- Knowledge
- Honesty
- Optimism
- Ability to judge
- Enthusiasm
- Willingness to take chances
- Dynamic energy
- Enterprise
- Persuasion
- Outgoingness
- Ability to communicate
- Patience
- Perception
- Perfectionism
- Sense of humour
- Versatility
- Adaptability
- Curiosity
- Individualism
- Idealism
- Imagination
This is quite an impressive list!
But calling someone a genius is not something I do lightly. The term may be something of an arbitrary. There’s no exact measurement which says “You’ve scored X points and now you’re a genius!” However, if you carefully examine the people in your life you most admire for their accomplishments, you’re likely to see that these people share a greater number of genius qualities than those who don’t.
Perhaps those who have the greatest number of qualities from the list, we’d consider to be a genius. There are a handful of people I’ve met in my lifetime who fit that description, and I arrived at those by personal assessment.
One of the people on my list is Peter Warren. I’ve compared what I know about him with the list of 24 qualities listed in the article and ticked most of the boxes. If you know Peter or have even met him briefly, you can judge for yourself. If you haven’t met him, consider what is required to take a look at an invention (the state-of-the-art computer) that has developed along much the same lines over the past 70 years and decide to radically change and improve the fundamentals of its construction. It’s difficult to conceive how a completely new “think” about a well-established technology could occur, and yet it has.
Peter has acquired a team of people who are so enthused by ExoTechnology that they tirelessly devote many man-hours (and woman-hours to be correct!) towards the campaign for the final development and launch of ExoBrain. We plan to hit the marketplace with this new technology like a shock wave. Comparable to a well-intentioned tsunami, this new technology has the power to wash away fake news and corruption and replace them with genuine, ethical and secure computer systems available to virtually anyone on the planet.
I joined the team because, even as a confirmed technophobe, I could see that Peter was one of those rare creatures who probably would have invented the wheel if it didn’t exist, or built a steam engine. But here he is instead in the twenty-first century, with a radical new invention in the world of computers and digital technology.
Frankly, even as a technophobe, there’s one thing about technology that I really do understand…and that’s that it takes a genius to wade through the nonsense of complexity and recognize simplicity for the truth that it is. Hence the development of ExoTech!
Let’s not allow this project to become a missed opportunity. It’s far too important. ExoTech could become the next step in Man’s conquest of the world. It’s important. So, I’ll keep blogging my heart out until we succeed!
An ExoTech Ltd shareholder, Chris is currently authoring two of the four books to be published the day ExoBrain launches and has helped to create ExoBrain’s introductory video to the Confidential Technical Briefing. Chris has spent his working life in the film and television industry, starting with BBC Television in London, then ATV in Birmingham becoming, at the time, the youngest Studio Manager in Britain.
Later, in South Africa, he wrote and directed film and TV commercials, having four South African entries at the Cannes Advertising Festival. After a number of years of writing and directing or producing documentaries (eight international awards) and corporate videos, he concentrated on writing feature film screenplays (five screened) and television series (seven screened). He has a novel, ”Pursuit of Treachery,” with a literary agent and is currently obtaining finance for an action adventure feature film he has written and is co-producing. He is a published poet and has given many readings.
