The transferability of brilliance

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Brilliance is the thinking that causes our most extraordinary performance. Enhancing one’s brilliance and adopting brilliance from others is hard to do reliably. The transfer of brilliance from one person to another is often difficult; it most often happens in a family context where there is frequent and intense contact between brilliant people and someone with the desire to acquire that brilliance. In the search for what kind of thinking constitutes brilliance, we identify seven themes of brilliance. Our goal is to bring clarity to what brilliant thinking is and outline ways that brilliance can be documented, shared, and studied.
