When we think of people worthy of the title “genius,” we conjure images of Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, Jane Goodall, Marie Curie, Mozart, or Brian Wilson: people whose incredible talent, unique insights, and dogged work ethic opened our eyes to experiencing and understanding the world in ways no one had before.

Their brilliance appears to exist in the stratosphere of human achievement, completely unattainable to the average person. However, according to philosophy expert Julian de Medeiros, with a slight change in how you approach your work, you can take the first steps toward being a genius. De Medeiros is popular on TikTok and Substack, where he shares his thoughts on philosophy, focusing on intelligence, relationships, and freedom.
