When kids do linear algebra or they rise to the level of GM in chess within the first two decades of their lives, such people are obviously geniuses. Their intelligence is undeniable.
But it’s like moral/spiritual geniuses aren’t recognized in the same way, if at all. How come their intuitive expertise isn’t recognized so easily ?

Ethical philosophy has had plenty of geniuses.
Immanuel Kant was a real pissant Who was very rarely stable
Yeah, but who is today’s Buddha?
Philosophy needs a better PR department
