greatest genius on earth, but never appreciated within your own lifetime. I'd rather be this.
-
I dont care what I am though of beyond what it enables me to do. after I am dead what people think does not enable me any. if they think I am a genious in my lifetime (or even just one wealthy investor) so I could make life better for everyone
-
I would ratherbe the greatest genius on earth, but never appreciated within my lifetime, because the first thing I'd work on mastering would be being happy with it.
-
I would like to be the greatest genuis on earth... but that would be lonley... But I once dreamed that Issac Newton and DaVinci spirits beamed over the millenium. But If I was a theif or con artist I would like to be under-estemated. But most importantly I would like to think of my self as the greatest genuis on earth and be satisified with that... But then I.Q. tests are Bogus attempts to classify people into catagories and i don't like that ... I think all people are intelligent in their own way and the standardized tests are just ways to mmake money for the testers.

I dunno about "genius" (far from it!), but with that stipulation the 1st choice is already a happenin' thing! And also, with a legacy comes a kinda 'immortality', no? How one sorta 'survives' after death! ;-)
-
Be appreciated after I die
-
Latter of the two.
-
definitely known as a genius after death..history books here i come...lol...
-
Wow. I reckon I'll take option number one. At least I would not be hounded and be able to live a normal life.
-
Good question, I guess genius after death only because I would not want my family to suffer knowing people were talking junk.
-
considered a genius in my lifetime after tI'nm dead so what?
-
I would rather go down in history as a genious. And not in this lifetime.
-
I'd love to be known after my death, to be taught about and to be respected, even though I would never know
-
The greatest genious and never appriciated until after death. The only time I want to be appriciated in my lifetime is by my family. haha
-
this is a really tough one for me. I'd pick to be thought of as a genius while I live. after all when I'm dead I wont care what people think of me.
-
I would rather be the greatest genius on earth, but never appreciated within my own lifetime......because I already accomplish but take no credit....I do not wish to lord over others.
-
The former. I can't really give a reason.
-
I think I'd rather be the greatest genius on earth, but not appreciated. Reality is much more important to me than the perception of others.
-
Neither..I like being in the shadows and I would prefer to not be thought of at all after I am dead..little too late then..lol
-
i guess be a genious and not appreciated in my lifetime. cuz then at least i might have some inner peace and wouldnt care what other peoples perceptions were. and if i was a genious maybe i could figure out how to be happy. though learning more through my degree has made me question things to a much deeper level and now i cannot seem to be happy. i am worse off. so maybe i would be doomed as a genious...tough one. cuz after you think u found the answers, more questions pop up. then u never get to the end of anything and its like a spiral downwards especially when u cant find people who know what your talking about
-
the first one, i wouldnt want to be thought stupid when i was dead, cuz then i couldnt defend myself
-
The first. I would rather be remembered as a genius than only think I am, but later it turns out I am not.
-
Who cares, I really don't give a shit about what people think about me.
