Pretty much everyone you listed is a genius in one way. Even Dave and Dan. They may be total morons when it comes to writing original material, but they're geniuses when it comes to adapting source material. GoT seasons 1-4 were peak television, and their adaptation of The Three Body Problem trilogy has been really good so far (one of the best sci fi shows in a while).

Write-in- olawakandi

You can just look at some of the available choices and know this is a BRTD thread. Made me think of this scene from Royal Tenebaums-

 This reminds me of the nonsense 'Gustavo Cerati is a genius'that it's a bit popular in some LATAM circles.

In order to judge over who is a genius or not, you have to be a genius yourself, because only than and only than you are able to understand what their work was about and what it meant for the world.

At this point, the poll is just hearsay and ppl voting for scientists on who is a genius or not.

It also depends on how you define geniosity, a lot of those are geniuses within their respective fields they are known for.

Again, even if he was a genius, you would have to be a genius yourself to recognise him as a genius.

To be fair, lot of this is basically subjective too. Everyone in that list is known for their talents, some for musical talents/geniosity, i guess Olawakandi has his own talents.

Most are geniuses but none meet my strict criteria of "very stable genius".

olawakandi is a transcendent lifeform so he's an exception to that. I guess if you don't get it it will remain a mystery to you until you die.
