Watching this vid just makes me wonder, why is there a definite distinction between intellectually genius and emotionally mature? I don't seem to understand how its possible that a child can have a bachelors in maths at age 13 but be so immature, emotionally anyways
Wtf is intelligence?
Bonus points: He says he cant describe why he knows the answer but he just knows it, the fuck? can anyone with assburgers explain

I can't watch this, Jesus Christ.
according to the kid, Newton and Einstein had assburgers.
Well thats the thing, outside of mathematics he just appears to have the general intelligence of a child, very one dimensional. How is he capable of "thinking" like a math genius but cant apply this to other areas? Or is the answer hes not thinking at all and it just appears before him - like cheating or something?

Dropped.
Pic related, his name is considered synonymous with genius yet here he is poking his tongue out like a goof.
You can be the smartest person in the world but you're still a human with a human brain and human condition.
Intelligent people aren't perfect through and through
Because people keep mistaking high IQ for a catch all in high general intelligence.
A lot of what limits people are their fears of looking like goofs. They go to such extents to avoid looking like goofs they spend almost no energy getting good. More important to avoid failure / embarrasment than focus on fighting to get good. Well then no surprise you don't get very good.
That's true, but people legit believe that intelligence results in a person who "should know better" than to act in any way that isn't a constant reflection of being knowledgeable.
They don't realise that intelligent people can actively do things without thinking about the action,l too much or at all, it's just that when they want to think about things they do so with significantly more capability.
Yes I think a bit of eccentricity goes a long way. Getting so obsessed at working hard so you don't care much about how you look : then you can probably achieve more than if you are mostly being careful so you don't look / sound too crazy.

He learned it once and forgot the logic and derivation behind it, or he learned something else and deduced it through intuition. You know, like how progress happens. Doesn't take an aspie to know that, just a Veeky Forumsentist who actually does science.
