Life its ownself...................

     "What does it all mean?" many wonder while chasing purposes they're told are worthwhile, but which feel empty.  "What is the purpose of this life?" humans have wondered for millennia, contemplating how insignificant we are in the great cosmic symphony.

     Well, as the preeminent mythologist Joseph Campbell said, deep down inside, we don't seek the meaning of life, but the experience of being alive.  And that's what the nature of genius is ultimately about.

     It's about how we can empower ourselves to bring true meaning to our lives and the lives of others in ways most people would consider impossible.  It's about rising above a life of, as Thoreau said, "quiet desperation" that ends with our songs still in our hearts, and experience the rapture of true living.  It's about saying yes to our adventures.

     We rely on geniuses to entertain us, educate us, lead us, and show us all what our species is capable of.  We rely on geniuses to give us smart phones, electric cars, cures for diseases, social networking sites, sublime art, world-class food, and, indeed, the very fabric of our culture.

     If you've ever dreamed of playing a hand in the development of mankind, or if you just have a burning desire to improve one small aspect of it, then you have an adventure waiting.

     Will you take it?
