THE ISOLATED GENIUS:

In the concluding chapter I explore the poisonous idea of the isolated genius. By emphasizing the individual and the product rather than the community and the process, our society consistently tells us that it is wrong and limiting for us to cooperate with others in spaces or projects that don’t reward directly as individuals. The historical record is clear, however, that much more great work has grown from communities than from isolated individuals and that sustainable, life enriching processes are more important and likely more productive than the oft presented examples of self-destructive individuality.
