NASA scientists: People are born “creative geniuses” but get dumbed down by the U.S. education system

Monday, February 05, 2018 by: David Williams   


(Natural News) Would you consider yourself a creative genius? If you asked other people that question, perhaps some might answer in the affirmative. But the vast majority of individuals, when confronted with that question, might say no. It’s not that they don’t really think they are the type of person to be considered creative or a genius. It’s just that they no longer see themselves as creative individuals. The older the person, the higher the chance that they would answer no to the question. This is based on the results of a shocking new study that posits that all people are creative geniuses at birth. It’s just that the system of education ends up dumbing them down as they move through it.

"Genius" is by definition highly unusual, and not "normal". 

One issue I have with this article is the idea that everyone has to be above average, special, a genius.  Nope, most of us are normal.  And, that's fine.  Absolutely nothing wrong with being "normal".

What is normal can vary quite a bit. Historically, 'genius' societies become 'dumass' societies and vice versa. Greece, Italy and Germany have shown quite a variance over time.

total and complete bovine fecal matter.  Some people have it, some don't. Virtually everybody is born with a certain talents that can be expanded and worked on.
But if everybody is a genius at birth and only bad schools make them stupid, why do so many Asian immigrants shine at "awful" schools? Bad students make bad schools. Read Robert Weissberg.

No, think of what "genius" actually means in a population.  It's abnormal.  By definition.

Mass stupidity, on the other hand, can seem quite normal.

I'm pretty sure most of them were born stupid.  Thus this threads major thesis is null and void.

Yup. And I’d make one up, too, if I weren’t too old to be a “creative genius” anymore.

While I don't buy the people are born creative geniuses crap, they are definitely alot more creative until the modern education system gets ahold of them and dumbs them down.

I agree that schooling and culture tends to destroy some of the creative juices in kids.   

My grandson is a genius (as Sheldon would say, "my Mommy had me tested".)  He certainly is NOT like the other little boys his age.  He sometimes feels the need to "dumb it down" in a social situation.
