I don't think there's any such thing as genius in strength & conditioning. When I think genius, I'm thinking names like Isaac Newton, Bernhard Riemann, Srinivasa Ramanujan, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Albert Einstein, Claude Shannon, Kurt Gödel, Alan Turing, Richard Feynman, Douglas Hofstadter. (If none of these names ring a bell, then you may not understand why my bar for genius is set so high.) Reading anything written by those names (and plenty of others I've left out for brevity) leaves me feeling roughly the intellectual size of an ant scaled against Mt. Everest. At least one valid definition of genius must be that its sheer capability leaves you profoundly aware of your own limitations.]]> http://www.myosynthesis.com/what-is-genius/feed 9 http://www.myosynthesis.com/complex-nonlinear-systems http://www.myosynthesis.com/complex-nonlinear-systems#comments Tue, 23 Aug 2011 05:09:47 +0000 Matt http://www.ampedtraining.com/?p=2055 http://www.myosynthesis.com/complex-nonlinear-systems/feed 1 http://www.myosynthesis.com/assorted-links-cognition-neuroscience http://www.myosynthesis.com/assorted-links-cognition-neuroscience#comments Wed, 01 Jun 2011 21:38:23 +0000 Matt http://www.ampedtraining.com/?p=2018 http://www.myosynthesis.com/assorted-links-cognition-neuroscience/feed 1 http://www.myosynthesis.com/does-it-help-me-stop-nitpicking http://www.myosynthesis.com/does-it-help-me-stop-nitpicking#comments Wed, 27 Apr 2011 20:00:22 +0000 Matt http://www.ampedtraining.com/?p=1926 http://www.myosynthesis.com/does-it-help-me-stop-nitpicking/feed 7 http://www.myosynthesis.com/dealing-uncertainty-training http://www.myosynthesis.com/dealing-uncertainty-training#comments Wed, 20 Apr 2011 20:00:52 +0000 Matt http://www.ampedtraining.com/?p=1971 http://www.myosynthesis.com/dealing-uncertainty-training/feed 10 http://www.myosynthesis.com/goals-do-more-harm-good http://www.myosynthesis.com/goals-do-more-harm-good#comments Wed, 23 Mar 2011 19:00:46 +0000 Matt http://www.ampedtraining.com/?p=1792 http://www.myosynthesis.com/goals-do-more-harm-good/feed 5 http://www.myosynthesis.com/fast-food-solutions-fast-food-problems http://www.myosynthesis.com/fast-food-solutions-fast-food-problems#comments Wed, 16 Mar 2011 19:00:20 +0000 Matt http://www.ampedtraining.com/?p=1747 http://www.myosynthesis.com/fast-food-solutions-fast-food-problems/feed 10
