      either way, it’s kind of awesome because he still has plenty of time left for a childhood! honestly I look back at elementary school and high school and college and it is such a long drawn-out ordeal that could really be condensed into just a few years instead of like 20 years, ugh. This kid did something right, clearly. He even looks genuinely happy in the first picture 🤷🏻‍♀️

          yeah his parents will say “congratulations! You have reached 30-year-old status. You are free to do whatever you want.” And he’s gonna go outside and play and have fun for the first time in his still-young life :-)

          And I’m sure he won’t have any mental health problems and traumas or disorders. Not at all

    Literally, how does one accomplish something like this? There’s requirements, a certain number of credits, that take time to earn, and it seems simply impossible. Maybe it’s 5 undergraduate degrees, including AAs and other 2 year degrees? Did he start at 8?

    Questions questions.

      There’s a really long tail on the distribution of intelligence. The smartest people in the world are to intellect what pro athletes are to physical ability.

      You think Lionel Messi wasn’t already super good at futbol at a young age?

    We need to put kid geniuses on an island to stop them from making the world worse for us.
