Comment on How come there aren't any moral geniuses?

Aren’t those subjective things? It’s easier to measure something like chess skill or whether or not someone can do complex math, but harder to quantify someone’s morality.

Art is subjective too, but artistic genius is a thing (but takes longer to develop, I guess. I can’t recall any young artistic geniuses)

Mozart was a child prodigy. He started playing piano at age 4, and at age 5 he started composing piano pieces that are still played today. He wrote a symphony at age 8 and an opera at 14. There is a legend that as a child, he heard a choir sing an Allegri piece and went home and transcribed the entire thing from memory.

I think with art it’s not so much the result but the process that make a genius. For example there is this guy that just hast to look at some landscape for a minute … and then he can paint it from memory with increadible details. That’s objectivly something that most humans just can’t do, that’s why it’s impressive.
