I would say it shows a lack of life experience. For one, graduating from college at 11 has something to do with being a genius or being gifted. From his point of view it may have been just hard work, but every other normal 11 year old, its pretty much impossible. His statement about gaming seems idealistic, but you can't expect a 11 year old to be fully realistic. Just give him another 11 years to become corrupted by life.
Also you can only waste time, if you want to accomplish something in your time. But having fun is nothing you can accomplish, it's a mental state you are in while doing "fun things". Problem with his statement is, the basis of it is, that every activity should help humanity in some way. But for what reason should we help humanity? So other people can also devote their time to help humanity and so on? A neverending circle of people helping other people to help more people? But isn't all the technical stuff we use today there to help us enjoy life? To have more free time we can use to have fun? If this kid is right, civilization is a false illusion of progress, as we all are just wasting our time. Maybe we should go back to the stone age, so we have to devote most (if not all) of our time on surviving =).
Don't forget there are a lot of people working in the gaming industry, so you playing video games is helping them pay their bills.

the reason i quit hardcore scing and gaming overall was because i realized it didnt benefit my future at all.. i'm a selfish person.
oh and young child prodigys tend to fail at such a high rate its not even funny, too much stress to handle i guess.

Has he even played a game? Or was his first game Rock Revolution?
|
games inspire technological improvement?
|
obviously he's never had a taste of sc.

Dont get all bent out of shape over an 11 year old kid. Sure he's book smart and is talking big, but my way of helping humanity is being happy and enjoying my life. There will always be someone 'better' than you, but who cares if he graduated early, props to him, but its not something I'd want to do.

For a smartass 11 y.o. has he not heard of folding@home? PS3s are doing more for humanity than him, that's my guess.

I would not consider astrophysics a waste of time in the aspect of furthering humanity. Martial arts however would have a lesser impact on furthering humanity.
I think this kid just needs to grow up first, some things you can't teach people in school and making generalized comments about things he hasn't experienced fully probably isn't smart.
