When kids do linear algebra or they rise to the level of GM in chess within the first two decades of their lives, such people are obviously geniuses. Their intelligence is undeniable.

But it’s like moral/spiritual geniuses aren’t recognized in the same way, if at all. How come their intuitive expertise isn’t recognized so easily ?

    I think with art it’s not so much the result but the process that make a genius. For example there is this guy that just has to look at some landscape for a minute … and then he can paint it from memory in increadible detail. That’s objectivly something that most humans just can’t do, that’s why it’s impressive.
