I don't think it takes a genius to get the attention of your typical American these days. We live in an age where if you bark the loudest people will give you all the shine you want regardless of how ridiculous the things you say are. As long as you're outrageous and over the top Americans will stand in awe. How do you think we got the Kardashians, Trump and now a nigga that's saying he can out ball Michael Jordan and his kids will be worth a Billion one day despite all the variables involved on that path. That doesn't make any of these people geniuses. It just makes them bold and courageous enough to put themselves out there. None of them believe their own hype, but the illusion of belief is enough to mesmerize the typical American with a bankrupt view of themselves.
