TopHATslash Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 KillerK, being in the middle of the GCSEs right now, I can tell you that that's no feat to crow about. Sorry to burst your bubble, but everyone from my great-grandmother to the woodpecker that keeps me awake all bloody night could do that.What I object to about news like this kid is that nobody takes into account the difference between knowledge, what one knows, and intelligence, what one can do with what is available. Knowledge can get you into many high places, but only intelligence and the ability to think creatively is what keeps you there. whoa, kind of harsh.

Knowledge can get you into many high places, but only intelligence and the ability to think creatively is what keeps you there. According to the video interview on the website, this 11-year-old accumulates such knowledge because "knowledge turns to wisdom, and wisdom helps the world." Don't know if it's scripted, or he misunderstands, or he really knows what he's talking about.

Kemaru Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hmm, poor kid. I wouldn't want to be like him. It's probably hard to get any friends because his classmates are like 10 years older.. >___> Quote Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule. |fb(page)|portfolio|blog| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloudfire Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Ah poor kid. Unfortunant that he may have been brought up thinking "intelligence before friends/social life" or something of the sort. I mean, how can someone think video games are a waste of time? Poor kid. I agree with the post above lolz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
