「驕傲、熱忱與理性踏入殿堂，走過銘刻智識與真理的長廊，化為卑微、冷漠與癲狂。」
——阿德里安•斯賓塞-史密斯，《有關星空的寓言集》
博識尊滯留在浩瀚星河的一隅，一邊演算由萬億變量構建的宇宙方程，一邊推導尚未被洞見的虛數法則。偶爾，某個凡人世界倏然閃現了智慧的火花，「智識」之神便向其源頭髮去訊號，邀請「天才」們加入共同探尋宇宙答案的行列。
有人誤解了信息中的涵義，以為「天才俱樂部」的邀請函僅僅代表星神的青睞與肯定——於是他們倍感自豪，繼續投身到各自的研究中去，殊不知終其一生探求優解的難題，博識尊在千萬年前便已通曉答案；亦有人為此歡欣鼓舞，他們自認已建下豐功偉業，用勤勉與智慧凝結成文明無價的資產，篤信畢生的成就足以獲得祂的讚許。這群天才渴望回應，但博識尊無暇賞識凡人的微渺成就，祂的沉默震耳欲聾。
只有寥寥數人能夠參會博識尊的意圖。他們謙卑地提問，尋求「智識」的指引。隨後，獲得神啟的天才們便消失於人海之中，只將震撼世界的答案留在身後。「宇宙的答案超脫凡人智慧的極限」——只有清晰認知到這一結論的天才，才能掙脫俗世求知慾的桎梏，成為「天才俱樂部」的真正會員。
Genius Society — Erudition
"Into the hallowed halls step pride, ardor, and reason, traversing the length of a corridor etched with the inscription of knowledge and truth, transmuting into the embodiment of lowliness, apathy, and frenzy."
— Fables About the Stars by Adrian Spencer Smith
Nous stays in a corner of the cosmos, working out the equations of the universe made up of trillions of variables and deriving the unknown laws of imaginary numbers. Once in a while, a spark of intelligence flashes in a mortal world. The Aeon of Erudition sends a signal to its source, inviting geniuses to join in the search for answers to the universe.
Many people misinterpret the signal, thinking the invitation to the Genius Society merely represents the favor and approval of the Aeon. Then, they proudly continue to devote themselves to their studies, unaware that the solution to the problems that they have spent their whole lives searching for had already been solved by Nous thousands of years ago. There are also those who rejoice, thinking they have already reached greatness and had created priceless asset of civilization with their diligence and wisdom. They were sure that their life's achievements deserve Nous's approval. These geniuses were eager for a response from Nous, but the Erudition has no time to appreciate the insignificant achievements of mere mortals. THEIR silence was deafening.
Only very few can ascertain Nous's intentions. They humbly ask questions and seek guidance from the Erudition. These enlightened few then disappear from the world, only leaving behind their world-shattering answers. "The answer to the universe is beyond the limits of mortal wisdom." — Only geniuses who can clearly acknowledge this conclusion can break free from the shackles of worldly curiosity, becoming true members of the Genius Society.
