Genius. A word that gets thrown around a lot, and most of us agree it exists. But what happens when genius do some very un-geniuslike things? What if a genius “loses it” spectacularly? One writer has a theory.
Jason Hartley, author of The Advanced Genius Theory: Are They Out of Their Minds or Ahead of Their Time? joins Coffee Break to host Shane Kimberlin to talk about the theory of Advancement, Irritants, Overtness, and other nuances of the theory. Along the way, they discuss Orson Welles’ film career, Father John Misty, Kanye West and much, much, much more.
