When did we all start to believe that to be brilliant means you must be unbearable, and that kindness is “mediocrity in disguise?” Yet another brilliant piece from @Daojoan, who looks at the myth of the tortured genius and the real damage they leave in their wake.

@Flipboard @Daojoan Actually I'd peg the start of the "asshole = genius" meme to the first "bad boys" of art aka the impressionists, quickly followed by the robber barons of the Gilded Age, to which the MAGAt in Chief aspires as a paragon of American "greatness." Jobs & Musk are just Johnny-Come-Late-lies.
