Genius and Sexuality

Genius transcends an Artist, or anyone else that is inspired by it. Thus, it cannot be reduced to some Egoistic principle, and is fundamentally an involuntary experience.  So, characterizing someone as 'a genius', or attributing it to them as a possessed ability, abstracts from that Transcendence, thus falsifying Genius.  Likewise, the Freudian interpretation of it as a 'sublimation' of repressed sexual desire, even granted that it can account for the distinctions between Musical Genius, Poetic Genius, and Mathematical Genius, for example, begs the question by presupposing that 'sexuality' has itself not been reduced, i. e. from a similarly transcendent species' Reproductive drive.  It follows from that interpretation that an Artist is motivated simply by the prospect of satisfying private release, with an epochal influence on an audience an inessential by-product. The pervasive result of Freudian simplification has been the trivialization of Genius, as well as a missed opportunity to ground it in interests of the species, like Reproduction, but distinct from it.
