as a filipino american, this is so true

My stepdad's half Japanese, can confirm

Nah in their eyes they are still failiures because their cousin bobby did all of that when they were 9 and had 15 years of work experience when they were 10

Don't ever let them hear these stories.

@@dimitrescu182 they're going to ask anyway. So it's better to let them hear/read about it first.

Could speak in 5 word sentences and count to 20 after 18 milliseconds of being born? Impressive! (I know it's supposed to be months)

That's so funny about the church nursery!

@@shayanadavis4554 "i dont want to talk to you so ill pretend to be a baby" xD

Clever girl! I don't remember anyone talking baby talk to me and I didn't do that either to my girls. Maybe that's why they were and are so high verbal. Got a bit of attitude when my eldest and I were shopping for books when she was a toddler and I spoke to her about her books as though she were an adult, and the teenage boy clerk sneered at me. The look on his face when she replied to me in the same manner made my day. Silly boy should not have been selling books, obviously.

Cool kids and all but I feel stupid right now 😂

Obviously a born genius. I wonder what he is like now as an adult?

@@MsSavagechef Still smart as hell and very intuitive. But more that that...he is a great person who really looks and listens to people.

Sounds like good memorization and awareness.

That sounds a lot like Asperger's Syndrome. I recommend taking him to a therapist for a professional evaluation. Knowing will not only help you direct his studies and overcome inherent challenges, but it will also make him eligible for financial aid in college. I'm an Aspie myself (diagnosed at 16), and learning the reason for my peculiarities changed my life for the better. Plus, the financial aid allowed me to complete college without any loans.

@@serpentinious7745 I dont think Aspie perhaps mild adhd. I know several folks with Aspie and he is nothing like...besides he is an adult now. He did well in school...certainly better than I ha ha. Glad you are getting what you need. Best

The problem is how schools are set up. If you are a genius in a specific topic/ class, the system will use all it’s resources to get you passed the BS. If you are bad a that specific subject the school system throws you into the disability classes even if you are above average. I could read since I was 6 but I could not spell or write well. I was also poor at selected school activities. I was marked as a child with Autism/ Asperger‘s. Ironically I was good at almost all subjects if it didn’t fall into a specific group most grades were too focused on. I had straight A’s from 4th grade to 8th grade, every year had a “special education English” class. All my Tiers of knowledge would seem to look like Genius or prodigy except for writing and speaking vocabulary. In High school I would get an A in every subject except reading and Writing class. What was really annoying was I was kept in the special learning for English and writing and normal classes for everything else. In the other subjects my teacher protestant me to be moved to an advanced or more difficulty class. But the system held me back. I was in algebra class and could do it all in my head, could not on paper. Spanish class and history was like everything was in front of me but no one saw it. I still remember the standardized test that made extra steps to hold me back. Every year there was a state ran test you had to take, if you failed it you were either held back a year or took summer classes until you passed it. All 4 years of high school the same thing. 4 subjects Reading, writing, Math, and history or Science. I would get a 100% on math, History, and Science but get a 60 to 70% on reading and writing. Go to summer school, forced to take Math with English even though I always got a 100 on math test, and then pass the writing and English with a 75% in summer. For Senior year they gave the graduation test early in the year and I actually passed everything but the school said otherwise for the state records until the end of the year. I think the thing that said it all was that the school had everyone to take the SAT’s and ACT’s 2 times each. I would do poorly on English and writing but be one of the 5 students that got perfect scores in Math. Just to make the school look smarter they would not give mine results and 2 other students results. At least college was easy and the smartphone finally came out. Everything that technically held me back in public school is replaced with the abilities to understand and use a smartphone.

Nice, Dr K

I'll bet if any of those teachers or administrators was subjected to 12 years of nothing but circle the shape that doesn't belong worksheets, they would lose interest and the ability to concentrate on it in a year or two as well.

Yeah, there isn't really much support for people way above the curriculum level. I was the same way, always able to visualize the problems and do them in my head. Even though I was in all the advanced classes, it still felt like they were teaching the same thing for weeks. I was always sleeping or doodling, and never had any books out, but I was pretty much a straight A student, so my teachers didn't really bother me. Luckily, I was mostly able to substitute my total lack of study skills with my ability to teach myself material at university. Unfortunately, I ended up dropping out after 3rd year because the student loan fucked me over, and were withholding the money because they kept losing documents and forcing me to re-mail them; then wait 2 weeks to find out they either didn't get it or are missing something else that they definitely received with the application. It took 3 months to get it, and that was only because I made a big scene at the physical location and forced them to take them despite their insistence that it had to be mailed. Never again. TLDR: Canada's student loan services are trash

I think I watched the same video and I had testing with disability services in college because my grandpa was reported to be dyslexic, they probably found out when he was in the military, but I didn't receive help in any but one class in primary or secondary education, public school for kids, and it was Pre-calculus Honors my junior year, high school year 3 of 4. So I get testing done in college and not only do I have dyslexia, but have reading comprehension issues (state testing always said that come to think of it), learning delays, and it actually said I was behind my peers intellectually! Thing is this was my 3rd or 4th yr of 5 yrs of college and that 3rd year of high school pre-calc was the last time I'd done any math classes, and the evaluator FORGOT TO BRING ME A FRIGGIN CALCULATOR! No using phones! I just looked at the page with log, sine, cosine, tan, and a bunch of number sets on it and it was like, "Work this out manually." Because most people took calculus freshman year...I took some sort of ass-backwards logic class with the rest of the art majors because it didn't require numbers and it juuuust covered our math credit. Yay art. Only the kid who never made any sense was any good in that class. I'm sorry, but if you tell me to prove that blue cows live on the moon and the grass is green are both true facts...I can't FRIGGIN do it! It's not true! But in that dumbass class it was! Ugh. Almost felt I'd have been better off 4 yrs later jumping into the icy pool of calculus. It may have had imaginary numbers, but at least the rules made fudgin sense! After that I did end up getting time and a half to take my tests in the quiet little testing center, usually before my classmates. The stress was so much lower knowing I had time to read and re-read. And I found out last year I've got inattentive adhd and my psychiatrist just said I do have traits of autism (I really see it looking back...) so yeah, fun things to discover in your 30s and wonder if your life could have been so much better with proper accommodations.

You sound like my mom when I was little. She read from the encyclopedia to help me fall asleep when I was young, and I got so frustrated with her not reading certain books that I taught myself to read at 4. Some kids are just total geeks like that. Keep encouraging it!

Get him a copy of Outer Wilds, I bet he'll love the quantum phenomena in that game

Systematic learning is never as effective as passion-based learning.

The times are now old man

I am going to list off a few books your son should read before or during High school. Your child is either going to be on the top of the school’s hierarchy and bored or the bottom of the system and also bored. The education system has an annoying bias on study and focus. It is hard to find a school or at least a teacher that will bring the challenge. In no particular order here are the books: (1) Breath, The New Science of a lost art by James Nestor (2) World War Z by Max Brooks (3) Starry Messenger, Comic Perspectives on Civilizations by Neil DeGrasse Tyson (4) Parallel Worlds by Michigan Kaku (5) Proof!, How the World Became Geometrical by Amir Alexander (6) Will Save The Galaxy For Food by Yahtzee Croshaw (7) Fear of a Black Universe and Outsider’s Guide to the Future of Physics by Stephon Alexander (8) Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky (9) The 99% Invisible City by Roman Mars (10) Astrophysics for People in a Hurry by Neil DeGrasse Tyson

It must be tough on you being super smart because of the childishness of your peers while the adults don't take you seriously. If only the society knows how to provide a more condusive environment for you ... but then we are not smart enough so we don't know how, sigh ...

Hmmmm. Very interesting. I can attest to this being an issue in life. Mental health issues, family drama and crisis. Interrupting every facet of your life. Every step forward is soon joined with 5 steps back. I'm still trying to figure things out and find out where I can thrive. Sucks cuz I'm running out of time in the mental capacity. And being trying to find a specific therapist through my health insurance since last late September, so about 5 months now. And dealing with the mental health department of my insurance only made things worse by how difficult it was to even get the basic level of guidance I was looking for. Eventually working my way up to a manager to speak with and explain what I had gone through in order to try and get the help I was looking for and needed. She realized how bad it was, and put in 2 formal complaints, as she agreed that was on their end, as I had mentioned not only was I, the patient paying the price but there are many others that have this insurance probably having the same issues. About 5 months later, this still haven't found a therapist that meets my parameters. I know what I need and want, and I'm not gonna settle for less.

Why is it that grades for getting into college for a degree mean literally EVERYTHING for anything that is interesting? Why must government impose a broken system on the populace, and expect them to perform? It's honestly quite sad, and I wish that the education system (as is) is seriously revamped so as to be more conducive to actual learning about that which is genuinely interesting to kids on a case-by-case basis. Maybe some sort of mentorship system wherein professionals who have mastered specific disciplines can take kids under their wing as apprentices? I don't know for certain what a good system is for certain though.

Why not work for the Fish and Wildlife?

@@comparatorclock I mean you can get into a college with a low GPA, say 2.0.

Did her parents used to read her bedtime stories ? Because I remember learning by remembering what my parents said for each page, then going back to look at the words alone and try to deduce which were which.

I'm sorry for your loss, she was a genius.

Thas your strong imagination,School and modern life be against that but use it man.

same except for I have decent art skills i can draw shoulders better than I can write "Uh, Suma-luma-duma you assumin' im human?"

Yup. That's quite common problem - if not for my stubborness and bloody thirst for freakin' revenge on everyone I wouldn't have any chances to succeed in life. I was a gifted child, I was reading and writing fluently when I was five, I could do maths years ahead in comparison to my friends, I had terrifyingly good memory. Everyone around told me to learn subjects in school, to have only best grades, abused me mentally when I would fail, and when I was drawing detailed machines and ways to assemble them irl, I was told to stop wasting my time. I had nobody to learn from. Nobody. Everyone treated me as an asset, a monkey for creating good grades, not a human being with passion, interests. KZfaq, and creators like Colin Furze, Peter Sripol, Wintergathan, 8-bit guy, Cody's Lab, NileRed have helped me. I've recently graduated an mechanical engineering degree and I'm starting masters degree about Automation and Robotics.

@@danielmichalski94 my parents were very hard and pushed me to hard at times too. I am glad you are successful in a field you enjoy. I try not to worry about the grades themselves with my daughter's. Just whether or not they are doing their best, or if they need extra help learning a subject. I just tell them to strive for excellence in all they do, and it's ok to fail ( not fail a class but in life itself). Failure is the best teacher, and when you fail you try again.

@@danielmichalski94 What's wrong with revenge well yeah i agree you gotta ask urself questions on if taking revenge will hinder your success and ect but there's different ways to take revenge.

@@Motion-man455 by revenge I mean to choose best way to show people around me, that they were wrong about my dreams. I decided to take my life route and to show everyone, that I am right, not them.

This is not an uncommon problem with single mothers. They are typically single for a reason...

Agreed and teachers need to help them with areas that are harder for their particular flavour of spectrum, being different makes the a target for bullies.

So now genius is a mental disorder huh. Lol

@@msairs Way to misread/misunderstand a comment & pole vault to conclusions. Lemme guess…never taught a lesson? Zero qualifications in education and/or psychiatry/psychology. But you’re gonna be a smug jackass? Feel free to lie in your reply 🤷‍♂️

Maybe in some of them, but some kids just pick stuff up quicker or with different materials. Or, simply they are just really intelligent. being on the spectrum is not a problem, but assuming every gifted kid is, isn't a kind sentiment.

@@warrxnt Like I said to the last person (who since deleted their comment); I was very specifically & unequivocally talking about children excelling in ONLY one area. Accompanied by other behaviours. Nowhere in the teeniest tiniest manner did I say smart = ASD. Not once, you can check. But you & the chucklefuck who deleted did 🤔

What language? Because is this was sudo it wouldn't be super hard as you could basically write anything.

@@KRYMauL Visual Basic

That's hilarious. I hope that the teacher handed him some YA novels.

It is never too late to keep learning, even if not in the education system.

There are some really fascinating math channels on KZfaq. I would suggest maybe "3 blue 1 brown," but there are many good ones. I think it's a nice easy way to get yourself thinking about math again where you skip the boring stuff and just look at the interesting stuff, and if you want to take it more seriously, there are usually exercises you can try I believe.

I mean you could probably go into getting a Psychics PH. D.

Oh, that would be hilarious having your daughter out maneuver a car salesman and you just sit there laughter. Please tell me you're practicing law now because with a tongue like that you could probably do some damage.

I wish I was comprehensively tested like that instead of the much less useful "you're better at doing stuff than your peers" of standardized testing. It was a real shock to me when my ACT score was in the 96th percentile, since I wasn't used to scoring so low. I did have one of those meetings in high school, though, but it was moreso a "I've never seen math scores this high on this standardized test before" into "you could do so much better in school if you applied yourself". I did get awards every year of elementary school for my reading prowess, but that was just because I did nothing but read.

I think you did it not because the text was upside down,but because the photos of the products were upside down.

Are you a writer, if so what are the books called?

@@blazekeaveny well the 3 books are still in the works. I have only barely signed the deals a year ago to achieve the deadline in 5 years from now. Book 1 is a auto biography that I am naming Surviving a Jerry Springer family. Book 2 is a fan fiction dedicated towards the television show Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. Book 3 is more or less a deal for Dark Horse Comics to write an Alien vs. Predator series that is 100% my idea called Predatorial. The last one will take longer due to demographic testing. Am working on all 3 basically at the same time. 1 week dedication on 1 project each and round robin. The first book is the most cathartic. 27 years of severe DV and CPTSD to unload.

The purpose of the American system of learning is to create factory workers, and the purpose of the American high education is to create desk workers.

Wish i could share that optimism but sad truth is: Unfortunately intelligence is one of the least deciding factors in the future success of a kid. Unless the intelligence is paired up with other factors like money and a good amount of luck, it could be even detrimental to them. As our real stupid society is especially cruel to everything that doesn't fit the norm or can't be understood. So according to statistics I am afraid that most of them will actually end up with clinical depression while serving some borderline stupid rich kid in a low wage job. Society is stupid... 😫

@@fabianstiefel1586 my friend was a genius. He was very lonely. I think i was his only friend, judging by who came to his funeral. I used to have discussions with him for hours. He took his own life in 2019. I think about him every day.

@@fabianstiefel1586 Damn it society, why do you have to ruin nice things? *Sigh* But i do hope that at least some of these kids ends up with minimal scarring...

It's VERY rare that I find a comment that I can 100% relate to like yours. I usually can relate to bits and pieces but this is LITERALLY me!

I feel something like that. Like my life ended somehow at 18 or something. Nothing is interesting anymore… people still call me intelligent but I think they want to stroke my ego. I guess I’m here to say that I was often looked at as a prodigy of many different subjects because I had some interest in math and English but it was more due to a lack of social distractions and ability to focus because I could escape home life at school. So it’s not much better from this pov incase you’re curious. I would rather have had the ability to be more social because I can’t now and all I have is a miserable job that doesn’t even fulfill my more cold and calculated hobbies. I’m just done fff. I’m not college educated so nice job I think it makes it a little easier to find a better job

@@100achillguy7 thanks for taking the time to reply man, be well and have a pleasant year.

I wasn't able to complete college due to my mom "borrowing" the money I needed to pay my tuition, and now I'm not able to hold a job at all due to mental health issues that present psychosomatically. I wish I could have a lonely, boring job. I hope you find what you're looking for. Give em hell and work the lonely, boring job for the both of us. I'm rooting for you.

@@collinbeal of course I will, I appreciate it :) don’t freeze this weekend

I am proud of you!

So many of these stories are just observing young autism. Who asked a bunch of normies to point out scary smart kids? They just autistic, leave us alone

Technically you can weaponize thorium But only indirectly Ie: a industrial cutting laser powered by a thorium reactor Technically it's a weapon that uses thorium but isn't a nuclear weapon like a bomb

That is a nice story, I just wanted to point out that we haven't discovered "dwarf" planets outside of our solar system. The smallest exoplanet found is just slightly smaller than Mercury. "Dwarf planet" is a celestial body that -orbits the sun, has enough mass to assume a nearly round shape, has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit and is not a moon. That term isn't used for exoplanets.

@@Jerekul Dammit you get my point 😜 I'm sure my little cousin would've been quick to correct me, too!

No

Exactly. So much of this is just autism. Who asked a bunch of normies about smart kids? They don't understand anything

Exactly. So many of these stories are just autism. Who asked normies to ogle us?
