There's no question that brilliance can be inherent. If a genius is defined with a vast amount of knowledge, then I guess one would need to be overly exposed to encyclopedias and such. However, I think being a genius has more to do with one's capability to learn, adapt, and be creative. There are so many that work extremely hard and study continually that wouldn't be considered geniuses. There needs to be some kind of inherent gift for learning in order for one to become a genius. Obviously, if you are isolated from teachings and important resources, it's hard to become a genius. But I think if everyone was taught and learned exactly the same way with the same subjects and material from when they were born, the natural geniuses would become apparent. Side: born
