"Genius is Common" -Bruce George

Posted By: Bruce George on August 17, 2015

 

 

"Genius is Common" Slogan  Synopsis: 

 

“Genius is Common” -means that all beings have a genius in them, which manifest itself in their own unique way of expressing their passion via their profession or art. An example can be a woman that comes from the inner city, who knows how to micro braid hair, as Picasso painted; that skill is her genius.



The slogan: “Genius is Common” has been presented in multiple focus group settings, and all of the participants agreed that the quote resonates with common folk. 

 

“Genius is Common” is a slogan that’s positioned to become a part of the American lexicon, like major advertising slogans such as Nike’s “Just Do It” and Sprite’s “Obey your thirst.” What makes the slogan “Genius is Common” so unique, is the fact that in few words it levels the playing field of who is traditionally thought of as geniuses, such as Albert Einstein; Bill Gates; philosophers etc.. and other noted intellectuals and entrepreneurs. 

 

The slogan "Genius is Common" is a movement, and our goal is to "tear down the Berlin wall" of the elitist word genius. We are in the process of setting up Think-Tanks; conferences; literature etc... towards dismantling the elitism in the word Genius. 

 

Please share this video with all of your family; friends; associates. Make your own YouTube video expressing what your genius is. Make sure you add the hash tag #GeniusIsCommon

 

In solidarity,

Bruce George, Co-Founder of Def Poetry Jam; coiner of the slogan "Genius is Common."
