In Praise Of Genius


In Praise Of Genius
“I remember once having read in a news paper something like this, you know?” So said Opa Johan to his wife.
At 5 he got his PhD summa cum laude, at 7 he lectured post graduates of Oxford at 10 he had written a thousand scientific books, he had more than 12 disciples. Hailed, praised, so adored, worshipped by the whole world, professors kneeled before him, he was so famous, so well known, more than the Bible. Ha. Ha.
“Would you adore, marry him?” Opa Johan whispered ,“or me?”
“What? Marry him? Who would? He is a computer, a caricature. He awfully stinks after his intellect and fame but don’t you get conceited, you Scarecrow.” So she said.
