Marsha replies:
The poet Baudelaire said that “true genius is the ability to hold two contradictory thoughts simultaneously without losing your mind.”

Ron points out:
You may well be a "true" genuis, even though you do not recognize "truth", but no one would ever know
this because your explanations are meaningless if they are contradictory in meaning, they in effect would 
have no value if they have no meaning.
For value to exist meaning must exist.
Therefore what Baudelaire is saying is that a true genius can apprehend meaninglessness intellectually
and not be disturbed by it. It's another way of pointing to empirical immediate experience to determine
meaning and avoiding rational abstractions.
 
What DmB keeps harping on.
