I have seen that in classmates. Doing all the "gifted and talented" stuff until things like Pre-Calc and Advanced Chemistry did not come naturally....

Ah well.

If you are that smart for real and you don't try (and you smoke something that robs you of motivation) you won't do much. But if he is comfortable with what he is doing, genuinely happy, who cares?

OTOH, I have also had friends who are complete BS artists. If THEY said they had a 160 IQ, I would ask for the proof!

I think he got tired of all the pressure his parents placed on him, and the attention he got at school for being the brightest person we'd ever met.


He's dead now though. Such a shame.

5 years later, she doesn't seem to be on anyone's radar as a child genius anymore....

Young children's minds produce a lot of alpha waves which has to do with rapid learning.

However, most people lose their ability to constantly produce alpha waves as they get older.

The ones who do are the ones who become prodigies.

I heard that he had the IQ of a two year old.
