The older I am, the more I see that genius and stupidity know no boundaries of time or space.
It is in the fundamental interest of every country to care for and nurture the talents of individuals and to help and support those less fortunate. I cannot prove it. Still, I am convinced that geniuses and fools were, are, and will be born in literally every world’s corner. Undoubtedly, there were empires and countries throughout millennials where geniuses were nurtured and cared for. I can imagine that ancient Egypt, Greece, or the Roman Empire were such countries. Today, I would state that the broadly defined Western countries, with the US, United Kingdom, and Germany at the forefront, are the ones who support young talents.
At the opposite pole, I would say the fucking Putin’s Russia is a country where many geniuses and fools are quickly killed by sending young people to die in Ukraine.
For me, Putin’s Russia represents the civilization of death. I still do not understand why Putin does not invest billions of euros in his people. Those people could help to develop Russia. He prefers to send young men, no matter whether they could be geniuses or fools, to be killed on the Ukrainian fields. The worst things could happen when a fool or psycho starts ruling the country. I believe it happened in Russia. I sometimes think about whether I am a genius or a joke.
Perhaps both personalities live in my mind, heart, and soul. Of course, most people would say that I can be a genius or a fool. Still, perhaps they would be wrong. I do not know and do not have to learn many things happening around me. Still, I am convinced that genius and stupidity do not know the boundaries of time or space.
