Genius worship is the inevitable sign of an uncreative age.

Summary

This quote suggests that in a society lacking creativity and originality, people tend to idolize genius individuals. It implies that when there is a lack of fresh, innovative ideas, the admiration and glorification of genius becomes a default response. Rather than cultivating their own creativity, individuals seek inspiration from those they perceive as geniuses. This quote challenges the inclination to place genius figures on pedestals and highlights the importance of fostering creativity and originality within society rather than just celebrating the brilliance of a few exceptional individuals.
