I think I've seen 20 specials on these kids over the course of my life, and I have never seen one on the news again. | ||

Maybe he'll discover why accretion discs surrounding certain astronomical objects, such as the nuclei of active galaxies, emit relativistic jets along their polar axes? Whoop-dee-doo? That's only a benefit because a bunch of people tell everyone else think it's a benefit. As far as relevance this is about as important as deciding whether God is male or female while that assuming he/she exists for the problem's sake (the proof of which will be provided later). Even if astrophysics were to somehow lead to practical results, who cares? So what if it makes a lot of things possible? That doesn't measure benefit to humanity. You could invent invent a new weapon to make more things possible too. As for happiness? Few things provide net bonus to happiness. For every person who can get pr0n on the internet there is someone else out there getting trolled/bullied on the internet. But even if there were a net increase of happiness, so what? That doesn't mean it's a net benefit to humanity. So yeah. Bitches. I just wrote a paragraph arguing against an 11-year-old's remark about gaming. Fuck, am I proud of myself. serenity now...serenity now... | ||

Most stops at some point and questions why they should have to work their ass of and when in hell they will be able to relax. The deal is that they are driven by their parents, as soon as they get disconnected from them they get like "Oh, so this is how you party!!!!". I am sure that the average person could graduate college by at least the age of 15 if the parents just raised them correctly, but the deal is that there are other things in life than just getting a college degree... I completely agree. When I first saw this news and heard the interview with his mom. She seemed so happy and she said she was, "So proud." and that, "This day has finally come." LOL lady how old is he? 11? Clearly, she hasn't been "waiting" since his entrance to college; clearly, she has been "waiting" to be "proud" since he was born, or maybe even before that. I don't like to think that I'm making fun of her or the kid. I just think it's ridiculous the way this is set up. If you listen to the kid talk, his tone sounds so superficial. His words seem memorized. I'm sure people have asked him similar questions before and maybe that's why it seems his answers are so well rehearsed, but the fact that he can think about "helping humanity" and judging what is a "waste of time" just makes me think that he is merely saying what his mom or dad has undoubtedly told him time and time again. In addition, I keep thinking about what an abnormal life, but more importantly, a backwards life he has had so far. Because he has enrolled into college at such a young age and spends so much time with martial arts and piano and whatever else, he probably didn't have time for friends. How many kids his age does he know and interact with everyday? Does he play around with his peers? share stories and experiences? I seriously don't think college frat guys are down to smoke with this kid. Joking aside, I believe having a healthy social life and learning to share information and critique each other is essential to what he actually plans to do later in life. You can't do everything on your own. Projects are done by many researchers cooperating together, often on an international level. I just feel this shit is so fucked up. And the way it's projected on tv, like it's a "good" thing. Honestly, I would be very surprised if I would ever hear about him again. Oh ya, gl on trying to get into the 2016 Olympics kid. edit: grammar and shit | ||
