<center>'''Tony Buzan's 1994 tabulation of the 25 greatest geniuses of all time (by GS)'''</center>

|+ ''(Paraphrased from Tony Buzan)'' Geniuses are pivotal figures in our consciousness. People like [[Leonardo da Vinci]] and [[Isaac Newton]] come to represent and define genius in our minds. Geniuses invent things and expand our understanding, knowledge and abundance. Steadfast in their refusal to live a mediocre life, they plunge into their chosen field(s); their creativity, brilliance, and innovation leave indelible marks on the world.

==About me==
I was born in 1999. When younger, I was interested in becoming a filmmaker or a novelist, with a side interest in politics. I wrote a number of film reviews that garnered high praise for their literary merit. You can see one of them [https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R2GD6TMP64N60 here], and another one [https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/ROC0EA2XZGLI3/ref=cm_cr_getr_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B001F4UHEE here].
