“Ode to Joy” (German original title: “Ode an die Freude”) is the anthem of the European Union and the Council of Europe; both of which refer to it as the European Anthem due to the Council’s intention that it represents Europe as a whole, rather than any organisation. It is based on the final movement of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony composed in 1823, and is played on official occasions by both organisations.

Now, In some countries the label genius is not something that a number of people bestow on you. For example this guy is widely accepted as a genius: Einstein. But not a single piece of evidence of proclaiming himself as such.
That Philosopher,cinematographer or author is a genius.
Oscar Wilde was a genius
Ingmar Bergman was said to be the only genius in cinema by Woody Allen.
And so on.
But, in those countries you take a test to see if you’re a genius. You don’t waste time to get people into recognizing your higher intellectual capabilities. Once you pass those tests. DONE. You’re a genius.
And then you can brag online.
Pretty much like bragging about your dick size. “Yeah, mine is the longest and thickest dick around. Here’s the proof. I’ve measured it. Suck it.”

It wasn’t genius or even unusual talent that made the stories good, it was patience and a large waste-basket.
