Then to choose the likes of Freud over them is a little stupid

Why is it stupid? It's all good... maybe spiritual enlightenment wasn't Freuds gift, doesn't mean he wasn't gifted in a different way

[Old Soul]

Understood!!

I think the contributions of them all are equally important and on the same level playing field

Freud invented a theory based on all our current problems stemming from sexual problems during our childhood....a theory cannot be proved or disproved...it pretty much ensured his name will never be forgotten in the name of Psychology. But to say hes on the same playing field as Jesus Christ is slightly ..... .

Not that I'm Christian...but then again I did say admire...

All physcology is based on his theory's, thats says a lot!!!, so in terms of impacting the world......... sure it is the same playing field......... No insult to Christ I am sure :-)

Nah some of it is solid evidence, but yes most is theories. Yes totally, haha

Says here, "Tim Berners-Lee is the Director of the World Wide Web Consortium, Senior Researcher at MIT's CSAIL where he leads the Decentralized Information Group (DIG), and Professor of Computer Science at Southampton ECS."

What else has he done to deserve that credit...??? I am not being facetious here... I was just wondering...

Not only did he lay the foundations for hypertext, but he already had the first web browser, first web pages, and first web server, so he basically designed the architecture of the web.

john lennon
ralph nader
martin luther king, jr.

these men are/were social geniuses, using the knowledge and energy of their times to turn society towards a brigher horizon.

i know the geniuses way back in history have probably had more impact, because their work is further back, and therefore more widely and deeply embedded in our cultural landscape.

but the ones above have personally delighted and educated and inspired me more than any other.

william james, the father of william james sidis is a genius in the psychology field. Look what he did with his son. He proved a lot of things with this experiment.

I love all genius, all kind, in music, maths, language, sports, I just love genius, I love them., I understand them.
