What Is Genius? -

In this video, Matthew King reacts to discussion from a video published by The Institute of Art and Ideas (youtube.com/watch?v=offwTo91F7g) between the philosopher Victoria Trumbull and the British Academic, Tony Sampson. Do human beings have original ideas and creativity, or are we merely subject to "social contagions" and the influence of digital media? Is the idea of human genius hopelessly patriarchal and outmoded, or does it still have validity?
For further thoughts about the nature of genius and musical creativity, check out this older video on the channel: youtu.be/BBUv8sPgQpY?si=7xqGZ-xHdMRStfce
