Answer 4

What do you mean?  Your question is equivocal; it can be interpreted in numerous ways.

Please be more specific so your question is clearly  understandable.

As you question why some intelligent individuals walk away from the "genius's of insult", you have to specify which group of intelligent people you are referring to and what you mean by "genius's of insult".

Do you mean genius of insult, as in Shakespearean poetry, for instance?  Or any other creative/classic literature?  Critiques of literature?

If you're wondering why some intelligent people of this postmodern era--for instance--refuse to read certain things (especially traditional literature), it is because this generation of youth today are concerned with many issues dealing with the present and future.  Many people also prefer to connect culturally/identify with things from this era--seeing things through a mainly postmodern perspective.  Here and now, that is.  Although grateful for social advancements of the past which enables us the freedoms we have today (which many are fully cognizant of), today's youth are focused on issues such as globalism, technological global warming, pollution, cross-cultural exchange, and social advancement, personal advancement (i.e., academic), etc.  Postmodern youth today are also overwhelmingly more optimistic than previous traditional generations in certain aspects.

And a better word for "genius of insult" could be "critique", which has a more positive connotation.  People prefer critiques and constructive criticism over the "genius's of insult".
