No idea, but if that number is what youre fixated on, feel free to cut it down to 1/10 the size if that makes it easier. I think we can agree that even in Einstein's time more than 280 million people were born on earth in 20 years, right?
If a generation is hypothetically 280 million people, who gets to decied and what are the criteria for the literal "greatest mind of a generation?"
Im glad we both think the statement is puffery, but the person I was replying to was saying this was a literal statement, not exaggeration. I really want to know their take on the above, as I cant find a way to square the math.
