@Math_files No one called einstein the next anyone before relativity. There won't be a next Einstein, there will just be a new person and they will be called themselves for what they do.

Harvard believes the next Einstein is already among us.
Meet Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski, a quiet theoretical physicist and one of the brightest minds of her generation.
At 14, she built a real airplane.
At 16, she flew it alone.
When MIT rejected her, she sent them a video of the plane she built instead.
Their reply: "Start next semester."
She later graduated with a perfect GPA, was cited by Stephen Hawking, and turned down offers from Google, Facebook, and Jeff Bezos.
Instead of chasing money and fame, she chose to focus on understanding the universe.

Tbh this is why I don't like modern art. It feels selfish/narcissistic when I look at it. I feel confused by and disconnected from it. Post impressionist is my favorite because it's about impact and messaging, but it's also experimental and creative. Something is being communicated, and it's unique.

@TiMonkey33 @Rainmaker1973 This is the most uncalled for and insecure comment I've ever seen on the internet.

Caught on the shoulders of all the men that built and invented modern day boats and all modern fishing equipment so that she didn't have to pull this thing in with handmade cordage and her hands on a hand made boat.
Women like to think they're on even playing field but they forget that men built literally the entire fucking world that they live in. And if you don't realize that you're fucking idiot.

I came across a quote that said:
"You can seem like a millionaire to one person and a homeless person to the next. The ants think you are a giant, and the trees don't even notice you. You think you have a boring life, but the next person might be striving for your lifestyle. Comparison is the thief of joy, so stay kind and keep loving life. Life is all just a big game of perspective."

Interesting take on how polymathy can effect productivity. The goal is not necessarily completion but experience and experimentation.

I think art will always be more true/transformational than science when it comes to enlightening the human experience. Science might be able to identify patterns that can generally apply to a lot of people, but art has an impact and a representation that is fully unique to everyone who comes across it. It might not land as intended by the artist, but when it does, you know it and it's just for you.
Maybe that seems obvious, but I think a lot of people use systems-based thinking to orient themselves in very unique/subjective conflicts. I'm guilty of that often as someone who tends to rationalize and measure what I'm experiencing or feeling - as if I need to set it beside something else, or understand how someone else is experiencing it to know what it is.
It's hard to become comfortable with the idea that you are actually alone in your experience. But that's really what's happening.
That's why art is so neccesary. It leaves freedom to interpret what it means, and that allows it to change you without bias. But systems/comparisons don't allow that. They're strict. People aren't like that. Systems don't have room for all of us. To some degree, they lie to us.
Ultimately, we are incomprehensible to each other, and our relatability is just an approximation.
