I am thankful that geniuses and artists and good people, no matter how hard it is, will eventually be recognized. I am doubly thankful that also goes for idiots.

Boosler’s line plays on the comforting cultural belief that true talent and decency are ultimately acknowledged, even if recognition comes late. The punchline—“also goes for idiots”—undercuts that optimism by pointing out that visibility and acclaim are not reliable indicators of merit. In other words, public recognition is an indiscriminate force: it can elevate geniuses and “good people,” but it can just as easily spotlight the foolish, the incompetent, or the obnoxious. The joke doubles as social commentary on fame, media attention, and public discourse, where notoriety can function like recognition and can be mistaken for achievement.
