Raphael was a famous figure of the high Renaissance time. I didn't not know this but apparently he was one of the more productive geniuses of his time. He is well known for his paintings. You can gain an understand of his work in Raphael review – the Renaissance master who made saints and virgins glow. You can also see art pieces at UKs National Gallery. during April, 2022 (I need some super cheap tickets! 😢).
We have all these very smart people form our past and the only difference between them and the gifted geniuses in the U.S. today is discovery (Most programs are probably not run by gifted either. There are fundamental differences that they might not know.). Many of our gifted programs are located in wealthy schools and with students that likely have high IQs, and elite education, make it into these programs. The vast majority of gifted kids are buried in their poverty, community, mundaneness and social expectations. A waste of U.S. human and intellectual capital!
Here is some information on the National Association for Gifted Kids. (I can't vouch for the organizations but I suspect they would take donations.) I try and donate a little through a learning lab business (Escanaba Polo Mallet Company) as well as other causes like orphans, rescue horses, etc... I think many of these kids have a tough life with the "gifted curse" and unless developed we are not only wasting opportunities but also limiting their lives. Oh wait!!! Were still focused on the needs of our generation!
