Some stuff I like:

1) He was home-schooled by parents who actually cared about making sure he wasn't held back by being spoon-fed the exact same material as his "peers".
2) He's a member of Mensa.
3) He wants to cure cancer.

Here's the full story. https://shine.yahoo.com/parenting/tanishq-abraham-taji-ten-year-old-graduates-high-school-mensa-tiara-165854664.html

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

..... I was about to say sure, if he actually wants to do all this then go for but then this caught my eye:
Quote
Yet, despite her children’s high intelligence, Abraham insists they are grounded. “They have friends their age and older from their classes, however we never let them forget that we are their parents,” she says. “While we learn from them, they have to respect us because they’re children.

These kind of people are control freaks and this is nothing more than emotional child abuse, parents repeatedly forget that respect is mutual, when you use force to make them do what you say then that is obedience, not respect and anybody who disagrees with this can go fuck themselves Tongue you can tell that the parents are going to be terrified of them when they're older because they know how smart they are.

There are people who graduated my highschool who easily knew less than I did when I was 10.  graduating HS is meaningless in the context of accomplishing something.  In the US people finish all time the time without being able to even read.  Many don't even know which countries lie to the north and south.

Now if he became a lawyer or doctor at 10, that would be something.  10 year old going off in a tirade in court  Grin

How do you know he hasn't enjoyed his childhood? Maybe he is just a really, really fast learner. Smiley

When someone is this clever, they just can't have a normal life. They may have a happy and successful life ahead of them, but they missed all the fun years of being in school as normal child. I don't think their parents did anything wrong though. They are coping the best they could. I do not think they wish to overpush their children. Gifted children often have heighted curiousity and a constant hunger for knowledge themselves, parents could just be feeding them knowledge at their own pace.

This is one of the worst horrible over-pushed kids:



Giuliano Stroe may look like an ordinary kiddo when wearing a shirt, but the Romanian ten-year-old is actually one of the world’s youngest bodybuilders. He began lifting weights when he was only two years old, and has since graced the pages of the Guinness Book of World Records for his unmatchable feats.

Straw has established a record for quickly walking on his hands with a heavy ball held between his legs. YouTube provides him with a fantastic medium to share his talents, garnering Stroe fans and viewers from all over the world. Although the eight year old Stroe is significantly stronger than his peers, he still does the same things “normal” children do, like watching cartoons and drawing. Assuring others that Giuliano indeed works out on his own volition, his father has said that “[Giuliano] is never allowed to practice on his own, and if he gets tired we go and play.”

Well, it's hard to know without more specifics, but I tend to agree. Childhood is so short -- it ought to be cherished, not rushed through.

That poor boy is not going to be over 1.5 meters tall.  He will be a midget compared to other men.  Good job dad.

They may be quick learners but nothing will replace true life experience than only time could provide. You may be expert on some ground and had no clue about other things.

Yeah let's face it -- a kid who is a member of Mensa is obviously not "normal" and should not be treated as such. And that means not holding him back just because most kids his age aren't as brilliant as he is, because in this case being "not normal" is not a bad thing. He can run around and have fun with other kids once they've gotten off the school bus. But most "normal" schools are not well-prepared for a brilliant kid like this one.
