Though we didn't know it at the time, the year 2007 marked an inflexion point in the history of Western Civilization: The Watson Affair; the worldwide character assassination and exclusion from public life of James Watson, one of the only living geniuses. The ruling ideology of Woke achieved mastery over the older scientific criteria of truth and accomplishment. Watson served as a very public victim; as a warning to others who might be tempted to dissent. If it could happen to Watson, it could happen to you. With the Watson Affair, Western society had changed to the point of inversion; from being broadly supportive of genius, and providing protected niches for those of great accomplishment, to exactly the opposite. By 2007, the Western world was actively hostile to genius. In a society obsessed with feelings, those who had the genius psychological type were now targeted. Genius Under House Arrest explores how this dramatic shift occurred and proves that not only was every "controversial" remark of Watson's empirically accurate, but that geniuses - with Watson as the example - are a package-deal: extreme creative ability as a consequence of a difficult personality; multiple problems ranging across social, ideological, and professional behaviour, as is the case with Watson. And because that difficult personality is part of the genius package, when the genius personality type is suppressed, then so is genius achievement, something potentially catastrophic for the future of civilization itself.
