and,
for example, I am convinced that in each of us
there is such a tiny little bit of
crazy, or if you want, even
related to it, a cheerful second of
genius. For me, for example, the
fact that
potentially almost all boys at their
age are great inventors, dreamers, and
girls are about girls I don’t know anything
madness and genius that’s the question
by the way in the dispute about riddles creativity the
greats themselves were not unanimous some, as
you remember, demanded the ideas of the insane
others said that all this should be attributed
therefore without detracting from the seriousness of our
conversation and simply as an epigraph to the
program I offer you some kind of crazy idea in the
best traditions of Herbert Wells and an idea
that humanity will be able to appreciate
maybe in two hundred years and it will turn out to be
quite brilliant, well please, there is
nothing particularly complicated here, I made a
very simple, completely simple
assumption,
well, let’s remember how in that layer
he was looking for a
lost ball, he took another the ball
is exactly the same and threw it and said
brother, look for brother, this is clear,
now let's reason
as I reason, I'm sitting on a chair,
I got up from it and sit on it again, did I eat
on the same chair or not
no, I already ate on the chair in another time
because during the time during which I
stood up the earth
moved in the universe
and quite a significant distance and this is
no longer the same chair this chair is already at this
time but the one on which I was sitting was at
that time so you see here a rather
simple connection of space and time, I
say that if we want to really
move to the earth a hundred years
ago, then first of all we must
fly in space to the place where the
earth was a hundred years ago
[music]
this means that it is known that near rotating
masses time slows down
recently, the Americans, by the way, this was
said here on At the seminar, they conducted such an
experiment, they placed very precise scales on
the clock
on the first floor of a skyscraper
and on the top floor it
turned out that there is a time difference
[music]
so in principle this process
can be
brought to the point that there is no one around from
me, time stops to zero,
this can only be done with with the help of
electromagnetic fields and electric, and
here is the way how this can be
done

[applause]
billions of neurons in the brain
kilometers of vessels of the circulatory system of the
gloomy depths of the subconscious and the most
complex mechanism and
cause-and-effect relationships man is
the crown of creation of blind matter
divine providence,
but all this is just an average
and ordinary person in our
understanding, there is
a peak among the hills and the
highest peak among the rocks, a genius is a mystery,
humanity, well, of course, this topic
may be widely known
to you and does not bring any special novelty
in all centuries all generations of you, we loved to
gossip, talk about the great idols
and sometimes even tried to somehow
understand the mechanism of their creativity, but
I think that today’s conversation
will still acquire some novelty, especially
since I would like to introduce you to a very
interesting woman, our today’s
author, Irina Alexandrovna in speech
by profession I am a professional neurologist
in classical neurology, this pathology of the
nervous system and neurology is always the
brain, and when we begin
to study bodily diseases,
we see that the brain and
psychosomatic relationships play a
huge role in the development of disease
processes, in addition, I have a narrower
specialization as a geneticist, genetics has
such a feature that he examines the
patient entirely in the most complete and
classic encyclopedic dictionary of
Brockhaus and Efron, the definition of genius is no,
they honestly say that genius is something that
cannot be defined and that what
humanity has been struggling with for a long time, but it is
not possible to fully define this subject
but since genius comes
from the word venus, which means mouth, even
this name was interpreted by people and
track scientists interpreted it differently, on the one
hand it was said that these are those people
who are capable of bringing colossal
progress to their family either in the field of science
or in the field of art or in the field In
practical activities, others
said that
the gene with this means to give birth and,
accordingly, this is not connected specifically
with the genus for which a given
person works, even if he would not want to
do this, but with the fact that all geniuses have in common
this is that they give birth to something
new, previously it was believed that the title gene
can be obtained mainly by a poet, and if
the poet of the peninsula is a mummy, then it means he was
not that’s why some great people thought so,
and yes, as far as I understand you, we are talking here about
some changes in the
human psyche,
sometimes even about illness, am
I correct, will you
really be people who differ with
extraordinary mental abilities,
often had a number of diseases that were always
classified as physical diseases, and
rarely did anyone draw analogies higher and
rise as the future of their
intelligence and evaluate this intelligence;
nevertheless, it was noticed that many people
who gave a lot to humanity
suffered from a number of diseases that were
purely bodily well schumann
schubert tchaikovsky
garbage stu and so on then spr and so on and so
on so on we will list everyone
calls to the top just I
would ask I would ask it would be better to start myself
why you and I must agree
excuse the wool for the sake of the wolf that
you are asking me now
I’m telling you about the disease and we seem to be equally
of our own
free will,
which means that Usovsky is there, but
if we immediately agree,
maybe we won’t somehow understand that a
disease in our usual understanding is a
disease, and that’s when we talk about
some kind of then the pathology of a great personality of a
genius is somehow we must have
different colors and paint over
among the ancestors there is
either paternal or maternal or
according to advertisements, as a rule, there are traits of
high talent
there, say, Bach had musicians with
musical abilities, I know
Pushkin there and diabetes and wrote poetry
then the
second thing is, as a rule, the
closest relatives of the closest
ancestors of
great people have
some kind of mental pathology, this could
be a
fully formed disease, a painful
process, but it could be some kind of
pathological expressed pathological
character traits and so on, that is,
their degree can be different 3 as
a rule, the genius personality herself
carries within herself
pathological mental traits or a
pathological character
or simply a painful process, as
happens right up to such a formidable
disease as schizophrenia
or manic-depressive psychosis and the
fourth children, that is, the subsequent
generation of great people,
she is like the rule also carries perhaps even
more pronounced features of various
different mental disorders of
this, a very
large number of examples can be taken directly from the
encyclopedia right from A to Z and T and
find out and we will eat ours these are children and
nieces and nephews and grandchildren and so
on like this four traits are characteristic
of almost everyone for everyone and I believe
that this is their pattern, but strictly
scientific research that we usually
expect from skills was not carried out
in this Nikolaev military hospital
spent the last days of his life the great
composer
author of the Sorochinsk fair Khovanshchina Boris
Godunov Modest Petrovich
Musorgsky
his portrait was written by Repin
shortly before his death in
just 4 hours
in the summer of
1858, the Musorgsky fell seriously ill,
the disease was expressed by depression, apathy,
painful impressionability, the idea of
mysticism
from Stasov's letter to Balakirev, the doctors
say that he was not struck by an
epilepsy,
they also say that the blood of an epileptic stroke, he was
also somewhat hanged
As an example, Mikhail Sanych Vrubel,
he spent a total of
two times in the walls of our clinic for about 14
months,
well, this has been absolutely clearly proven and the
medical documentation of the mental
illness of
his work is also known, but in
his medical history there is a trace of
his
psychopathology on the knitting needle at that time,
tell me here is the view here,
this red light, this is
mentally ill,
it means they won’t leave their father
here, his sister is mentally ill,
here you can also see pink, also
mentally ill, here all this is communication, the so-
called nervous hysterical people,
but this is also some kind of then the degree of manifestation of
mental illness,
and here the
red color is indicated here: mental disorder
alcoholism, this is her, these are the waves,
this is his son with a harelip,
was also born with a defect or died, and at the
age of two, just between
ours, between my hospitalization in our
clinic
pulse death of his son he again has an
exacerbation but in the other direction if the
first time he arrived in such a
manic excited state
when he considered the greatest man
the emperor and the lenses and those enemies
splattered yes yes yes that after death
his son red admitted once in
terrible depression depression when he actually read
that he rotted alive, that
he had no insides, that is, he
generally tried to commit suicide as he,
with
one of the most valuable, brightest impressions of
my youth, paintings in ore with my whole
being, I painfully empathized with him in a
tragic way, I felt the furnace
flight of his demonic soul and together with
him he strived to the shimmering heights where the
inevitable punishment was implied
broken wings and undefeated
gloomy wallpaper of melancholy and perseverance
pouring out and we will close
you with the dream of a genius, a man, a bird, a demon,
you existing as
if the legends that she had such a
condition that she could draw with anything
in ink with anything with charcoal at all
finger and so on, and
from that time we still have in the clinic several
boards that, from my
point of view, are of some interest because
in one of the monographs I saw similar
drawings,
I can’t say with accuracy, but still
that’s all that everything is connected with the subconscious, the
subconscious, but strive all the
time, do not get confused in the real ones,
penetrate consciousness, using your
favorite dreams for this purpose, it is significant, well, there must be a
question and an answer,
so
give some kind of supposed to remove this or
weakening leads to the fact that
our creative potential begins to
manifest itself in reality, not to very often,
various creative actions
are performed
when consciousness, as is known,
but where is true reality, is it
where the imagination plays,
colors sparkle, agitates and breathes a fantastic
image, or where the firmament does not waver and
you can feel the weight and
color of the motives, but drops of a narcotic
substance are a
dream or the disease and reality will change,
it will be a different reality, it will be necessary to
cut it from
[music]
so the subconscious,
you remember Dante’s seventh circle of hell
frozen into the icy bottom of the lost souls,
so I descend into the depths of my subconscious
and, emerging from there with the prey, the artist
each time risks leaving his mind in the
depths from this well to set off on a journey
and not return back, it
turns out that the storehouse of ideas is our
subconscious
and the mind is the great guardian of
wealth, but then what helps us
penetrate our own storerooms and
why does
consciousness so zealously monitor their
safety
[music]
pays for us mere mortals
great our brothers there is a secret of a
sick spirit that will interfere with the mind if there are nervous
breakdowns, but I’m a mother and don’t forget,
she plays an important role here, so
maybe it’s not the spirit that is jealous of the body; it
was noticed that many people who gave
a lot to humanity suffered from a number of
diseases that were purely
physical most interesting of them and
which gave the maximum number of geniuses,
and absolutely these were gout,
which was associated with high levels of
uric acid, the structure of uric
acid is similar to the structure of caffeine and
therefore such people received, as it were,
constantly 80 from the brain as if they were
constantly drinking caffeine in large quantities
second a large group that supplied,
as it were, conditionally, let's say geniuses, it
was the so-called Marfan disease,
which is associated with the special structure of the
connective tissue and with the extraordinary
intellectual properties of these people,
which were expressed in excellent memory and in
very great perseverance and perseverance, and
many scientists noted that simply having a
gift from God, this is half the battle, and
perseverance and passion are also very important, and if a
person harnesses these three things into one
stripe, then he achieves
very great success in life, in addition, it was
noticed that people suffering
from tuberculosis, what was previously
called consumption in our literature, also
had the period of exacerbation of the process is an
extraordinary rise in strength, and this is explained by
the fact that during the exacerbation of the process, with the
death of mycobacteria, they are fleeing from
tuberculosis, a large
number of toxins are released and they have the
property of causing euphoria, that is, a
state when a person does not feel
tired, that is, he, of course, burned the candle on
both sides, but on this rise, when he does
not feel tired and
his performance is colossal, I don’t
know what this genius is now, it
is the presence of an excessive amount of
uric acid in the body, no, this is
only one aspect, this is only one
biochemical constant that needs to be
acted upon in order for the tool to be
suitable, the point is that not all gifts are
equally talented and but of all geniuses,
really about 90 percent
of the true such absolute recognized ones
really had such a disease,
however, many mentally ill people did not have, yes, it’s
true they had a mental
illness like schizophrenia, which
has many very varieties to me
calendo extreme psychosis when people then
they plunge into an extraordinary abyss of
depression, then they create, and the act of
creativity
for them is associated with such an extraordinary
rise, for example, in epileptics, the
aura stage that Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky,
the classic representative of this
disease, said that I am ready to
sacrifice
my life without treating epilepsy all my life
for the sake of that mega minute that I I worry
during the aura because at this time I
see everything much and far ahead, that
is, such an extraordinary feeling of
insight, also for the need no-no-no-no-not an
evil joke when I said I meant something
completely different because I feel very good about
myself I can imagine
how in our country they can not only
blame Katya, but also reproach them because we
completely
leave aside some mystical,
so divine, divine side of
this creative state of the creative
act, the arrival of muse, it was very
desirable and the creators themselves
tried to catch this pattern,
that is, when will they it feels very
good when an ideal
creative process is created for me and in the end, if
we return again to our sinful
physiological earth, it turns out that they had
this process under certain
conditions that were associated in
particular, for example, with an increase in
blood supply to the brain and therefore they, for
example, drank wine because alcohol is
sharp increases blood supply to the brain and,
unfortunately, many great people
simply died from a disease
called alcoholism, but this is precisely what
they did during alcohol intoxication
that they could not create in a
sober state. In addition, there are people
like us, for example, Pushkin and many
other poets and writers they knew such a
mechanism and which is also based on the
phenomenon of increased blood supply, this is
cooling of the legs, or they put their feet in an
ice bath or walked barefoot on a bare
cold floor, it would seem such a
primitive thing, this is such a prose of life, but
it helped them create and that means it
really was like that physiological
mechanism and at that moment garbage also flew to them
because they
created these conditions when it was music that
flew to them Byron wrote that his
periodic fever allowed him to
experience an extraordinary feeling of happiness
because it would roll in and say goodbye,
the suffering would stop, or the great
poets Hein and said It seems to me that the
reason for my genius was actually
invented during my suffering, when
my head is rushing from side to side, it was
at this time that
absolutely wonderful poems came to me,
may our generous viewers forgive us,
accept this all as a hypothesis, because we do not
tear off the veils from the divine secrets and
we are not encroaching on the idol, of course, this
hotel is a genius, which pays humanity for
its progress,
do we consider this topic resolved, well, of course
not, because you yourself know that it
cannot be solved forever, precisely because of
this whole circumstance, and with a high
probability we intend to return to
them in the near future
out of a million, one thing is likely for you,
by the way, but it’s not given, as luck would have it, your
cherished number was
blocked by half the world, a genius not for you and
the ledge, but even under it, with which you
must become yourself
