trq212 vs tszzl: is 'courage is in greater supply than genius' even truer now?
trq212 · x · 2026-10-13
tszzl says his old tweet "courage is in greater supply than genius" was for its time: the culture has changed over 4 years, the credentialed TV-expert class is fake, but many things are designed by people smarter than the median reader — real experts exist. trq212 replies that he was reacting mainly to the courage-vs-genius line, which is probably more true now.
