Edison was not truly educated. He was more of a trial and error person. Not exactly genius.

Does being a "trial and error" person make him less of a genius? Are there people that get everything they set out to do at the first attempt?

99 times shows that you don't know what you're doing, but you're learning as you go along. It means you lack skills or genius. That's why it's called trial and error.

That is only a problem if you've had access to prior knowledge yet you keep fumbling around for the right answer.

For example, if you're able to reverse engineer something successfully after multiple attempts based on little to no information, how do you describe that?

Trial and error will never be genius.

The world celebrates the genius of Einstein and the doggedness of Edison.

Reverse engineering doesn't take genius, but rather good observation. It takes genius to engineer.

He made mistakes but in a good direction.
He kept approaching the point.
Will you tell me someone like Astro Teller isn't a genius to believe in the principle of Killing projects and endorsing the statement
Enthusiatics skepticism is not an enemy of boundless optimism but it's perfect partner

Making mistake is easy

But very difficult to make good mistakes

Nikola Tesla sufferred worse

Einstein even said that the smartest man on earth is Nikolai Tesla.


though I disagree

I'm not even speaking about any individual right now, I'm talking generally.

But even the Einstein you're praising sef, do you know how much work he put in before he came up will all the stuff he did? If you have detailed reports about how he came up with them on a whim, then you may be onto something...however marginally concrete.

Everybody puts in work, but a genius will do it faster and technically better.

Sorry, but I must take us back to Edison and Tesla. Even Tesla said Edison wasn't a genius.

History has it that way and it's pointless equating hard work to genius. Hard work is found in every human. But genius is not.
