While I get your point that 'genius' can refer to someone's exceptional ability in a specific area, the concept of genius is often tied to how those abilities impact society or humanity as a whole. Even if someone is highly skilled at something, the value of their genius isn't just about technical prowess; it's about how those abilities are applied. In Dahmer's case, his intelligence or talent (if we even grant that) was channeled into horrific, destructive behavior, which caused immense harm. Calling someone a 'genius' without considering the morality or social impact of their actions misses the bigger picture. True genius, in its fullest sense, should be about advancing knowledge, culture, or well-being, not simply excelling at something, no matter how morally reprehensible it is
