There's no proof William Sidis was a genius, only anegdotal. Still, he was a lecturer at Harvard at IIRC age 16, if you think you can "fake" that... if you can, you are some kind of a genius nonetheless.
William Sindis had his reputation as a child, Epstein got his
after leaving his job at Dalton and was never in a position to prove it. He was a bad teacher and never proved his ability at math.
Regarding Sindis, he actually begun his education from an extremely young age, as has a ton of precedent for its effectiveness throughout history. It's just regarded as overbearing and cruel now.
John Stuart Mill:
An even earlier example is English king
Edward VI:
Compared to Sindis, their feats are more or less identical. It's just in a time period when children were now being educated generally by a teacher and had less personal attention, a child taught under such conditions looks exceptional. A lot of child prodigies who make news headlines end up just disappearing because their exceptional skill as a child becomes unexceptional once they enter adulthood, since their childhood capabilities are just what a grown person can do but sooner. The Wikipedia article even provides evidence for this.
As a child he was as capable as an adult. Then as an adult... nothing?
The common denominator between Sindis and these two examples is a strong personal upbringing from a young age. Sindis is only exceptional because society deemed him as such, which arguably undermined what his parents wanted long-term since this exceptionality pretty much meant disregarding
how Sindis got so intelligent to begin with.
That's correct:
Be Jewish Educate more intensively at a younger age rather than gradually build up to more complex topics.
Also most of the info coming from what was conveyed by his father to the
New York Times does not give me faith however, especially since his parents wanted to use Sidis as an example of their ideas working.
(Most of this article is shitting on other prodigies for not being as great as Sidis - even Mozart catches a stray, lmao.)
I'm not saying their feats are fake, just not exceptional or beyond possibility. The criteria is a combination of time, attention, and parental capability which most people can't give to their kids due to various factors. A rigorously homeschooled child can probably achieve college-level intellect before their teen years, it's just the parent/tutor needs to be capable and their focus/hobbies have to become synonymous with what they're being taught. Autists being so knowledgeable about random bullshit is because that bullshit is what entertained them.
Prodigies (uniquely intelligent/gifted children) might not even be real, just a cope and excuse to not hold child education up to higher standards.
Culture is an upstream from genetics. I repeat: while we have no problem with considering niggers too stupid to be compatible with 1st world, somehow we forget about that when talking about le ebil Zionists to explain why they're higher on the totem pole than us whiteys. My only gripe is: will you niggers stop bitching about how unfair it is and start copying them?
I have my own theory on
cultural development here (TLDR:
Europeans record ideas to be passed down and believed that knowledge could be discovered, and there was also value in logic. Mysticism, which reigned in places like China, more or less believed that insights had to be bestowed in a sense via medication, prayer, and other practices which didn't involve the accrual of knowledge. They also shunned actually adopting Western practices/knowledge unlike places such as Japan. We saw a similar shunning in the Ottoman Empire but also with the Byzantines to some extent. Ethopia too had writing but, again, mysticism and shunning remained) that the Jews more or less abide by given they began to have a cultural revolution around the 1700s that lead to them integrating more into European culture, even if keeping to their own customs of religion.
The Jews support my viewpoint regarding the above and also support mine because he was born to Jews.
Movie was based on a book, and the book was a satire of the 50s American Dream where any retard could become a millionaire by putting his nose to the grindstone. Sorry but your culture post WWII promoted inbreeding among idiots, I mean look at you - Israel is ripping you off for your lunch money. If I was you I'd be embarassed.
One: I'm not American. Don't insult America.
Two: I want it known that I've been called out for both perceived anti-Jew and pro-Jew sentiments in this thread.
