Einstein’s ‘genius’ is obvious because his work still explains the universe…as far as I’m aware? Hitler’s work was politics and war, and that ended in total collapse. I can’t see why people see him as a ‘genius’? Words are so fucking confusing. If outcomes don’t matter then surely everyone with potential is a ‘genius’?
😅 I can’t tell if you’re taking the piss? You previously said he wasn’t a genius? So as far as I’m aware IQ is a measure of cognitive capacity (no mention of genius). And ‘Genius’ is a label we give in retrospect, not a measurable trait. (That’s why I said “see him”.) They are the definitions I adhere to. I agree one can be a genius (Einstein E = mc²) and make bad choices, that’s innately human.
This claim is false. Hitler's rise to power was the result of a complex interplay of factors, including economic instability, political maneuvering, propaganda, and the exploitation of democratic processes—not because he was the only one speaking the truth on many subjects. Historians widely agree that Hitler was not infallible and that his rule was marked by deception, manipulation, and catastrophic decisions. The idea that "all serious historians agree" Hitler was a genius is also false; most historians describe him as a demagogue with certain rhetorical and propagandistic skills, but not as a genius in any meaningful or positive sense. You can verify this by checking academic sources on Hitler's rise to power and the consensus among historians regarding his abilities. https://historum.com/t/was-hitler-a-militay-genius.89854/ Confidence Level: 95% Verdict: False Warning: This tool is still in beta and may produce inaccurate results.
