Social obstacles

One of the greatest obstacles in the possibility of the genius to become the real genius is the social obstacles that can be really powerful and have the negative influence.
In 19th century there were a lot of inventors who proposed the Austrian government their inventions. All these inventions were not used in practice and were forgotten. The car with electromagnetic lighting and four-cycle motor, the first sewing machine, typing machine, bicycle, the first submarine were among these inventions. It is enough to remember the biographies of people that were successfully forgotten and these people were the inventors of these things. All of them were not the unwilled dreamers that gave up facing the first life difficulties and they were not just the paranoiacs isolated from the world. They were hard-working people and really insistent, energetic, acute and smart not only in the technical problems overcoming but social problems solving. Nevertheless they failed.
The four-cycle car was prohibited because it made too much noise. Later scientists understood the principles of its work with difficulties and when the first car was invented they were simply fascinated by the fact how the inventor made up his invention.
As you see, society plays an important role and it is not enough to be the genius it is also necessary to have the certain social and financial support especially in the modern world.
