I can only hope that others around him do not foster an inner-arrogance that carries forth with him in his coming years, because otherwise he will shut out all further cultural learning experiences (such as playing games, watching movies, tv, books, music, theatre, all kinds of art) and become a real douche-bag. Nothing is more frustrating than an arrogant tard who thinks that their book-learned knowledge is the be-all and end-all of human experience. Contrarily, it's also frustrating to see so many people jump down ones' throat, proclaim "nerd", and become incredibly hostile from some ill-conceived, subconscious jealousy being directed towards...an 11 year old kid. | ||

I bet that the only reason he doesn't like playing video games is because his parents don't allow it and he just tries to justify that. He probably has never been allowed to play video games anyway. I mean come on, half Israeli and half Taiwanese? His parents must be slave-drivers. I wouldn't be surprised if he graduated when he was 6. | ||

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... QFT Kid probably spends 24/7 studying like a beast, needs to learn how to live a little. And as others have said, all recreational activities are a waste of time, why does he have such a beef with gaming? | ||
