Functionality.
Highly-regarded television and radio physician/addiction medicine specialist calls "true genius" the ability to not only conceptualize brilliance, but to carry it out. Apparently he's never seen Se7en. Sometimes true genius lies huddled in the corner of studio flats in France cutting his own ear off. Sometimes true genius sits alone in her big, dark, cobwebbed house sobbing and writing poetry. Sometimes true genius is found in the gutteriest, stankiest, stickiest bars in New York city playing to a crowd of eleven, including staff. Sometimes true genius is found on pages and pages of scrawled personal journal entries after its owner has taken a shotgun to his face. Sometimes true genius does not have the ability to carry itself out. Sometimes it is up to you to find it.
