The idiot cannot even reinvent what the genius has already invented.
in retrospect yeah i take back what i said. usually it's very evident when a genius invents something extraordinary, and it's basically geniuses that invent things not low iq people. in fact i'd say only geniuses are capable of inventing anything in this earth, and anytime a non-genius said they invented something it will always be something brutally mundane or a ripped off copy pasted LARP stealing credit from some actual genius.
but i think that our world is biased brutally towards helping low iq people which allows them to LARP as inventors even though they are completely unworthy. though mostly it's just them ripping off actual geniuses, but they are always allowed to get away with it because society hates geniuses so much.
like with nikola tesla and a lot of modern inventors. what happens in reality is that geniuses invent a lot of stuff but lower iq people copy paste it brutally, making some really inferior version but they will get all the profit from it. for example corporations always copy paste the things geniuses invented with their army of low iq employees but they get the profit just because 'they had money' and nobody wants to fund a genius unless they are already rich.
the funniest example imo though is a company that literally dived into the trash can of another company to steal inventions, and... they basically got away with it with nothing but a small fine. but actual genius inventors are sent straight to jail instantly for the slightest mistake. at this point they practically have an iq detector in court to determine guilty/not guilty.
but ultimately it does mean that as horrifying as it is, there is room for low iq people to profit by LARPing as inventors. of course low iq people will have their hamster wheel at 3 trillion meters per second saying they are genuinely the inventors, the part of their brain which understands the difference between copy pasting and inventing from scratch is completely shut off so that they can LARP as the inventors they will never be. but with how brutally society hates geniuses it also means that this braindead LARP actually translates into reality and you will always have LARPing low iq trash prancing around as genius inventors with 1 quadrillion meters per second hamster wheel, but weirdly that perspective yields the result since they would actually be able to make money from other geniuses inventions by pretending to be inventors.
society specializes in inverting reality. the opposite of the black pill is the blue pill and the opposite of natural truth is social reality. society, the consummate parasite that is burnt by the rays of truth can only survive under the smoke of a thousand lies.
the ultimate irony of all this nightmare logic is of course that in the end of the day after 3 millions pages of philosophical reasoning the 'correct' thing to tell a low iq person is... 'yes you too can be an inventor'
