This will make you smarter > Defining “genius”. (Video)

I often revisit this conversation between Malcolm Gladwell and television journalist, Robert Krulwich where they discuss what defines a “genius”.

This conversation looks at the following topics and questions:

• Is it “good” to segregate the superstars from the average stars?
• What makes Tiger “Tiger Woods”?
• What if it was a rule that we couldn’t ask one another from which university we graduated?
• What is the “selection effect”?
• Is our education system “…run like a modeling agency”?
