I have "evaluated" (not officially, of course) John Schwarz and Lee
Smolin and Michael Green and Sir Michael Atiyah of the U.K., and I'm
sorry that I don't think that they are Creative Geniuses, and similarly
with John von Neumann. Von Neumann especially makes me think that
there is a "borderline" case with one foot in Ingenious Imitation and
one foot in Creative Genius, and I suspect that the others are also
somewhere between Ingenious Imitation and Creative Genius. I do think
that they have grounds for hope, because in my opinion a Creative
Genius needs to first be an Ingenious Imitator, after which with enough
stress in life and enough luck and Courage and Nonconformity and
Nonmaterialism and probably marrying a Psychologist or somebody
comparable and getting a handle on one's Emotions, one has a chance.
Isaac Asimov married a Psychiatrist, Dr. Janet Jeppson, M.D., and I
think that helped him - by the way, he was also a Creative Genius as
well as a Ph.D. biochemist. His wife not only published volumes after
his death in continuation of his Foundation series, but hired
physicists and other scientists to write some of them, which is I think
a very sensitive and Ethical thing to do.
