What ever happened to him?

Same thing that happens to all the fake geniuses whose only purpose in life is to make money for whoever controls them. After the public reveal and the fundraising, he was useless so they stopped the show.

He is in grad school in at the Perimeter school in Canada. You are not hearing about him anymore cause his mommy can't use him for publicity anymore.

Same thing that happens to all these "future Einsteins." Someone gives them lots of attention and praise when they're 12 but when they grow up they achieve nothing and everyone's focused on some other 12 year old future Einstein. People are really bad at predicting this sort of stuff, the ones who do end up becoming groundbreaking famous scientists are 99.99% of the time just normal kids nobody's heard of while they're still in grade school.

so he's gay now?

>smoked weed once

Needs to tuck in his shirt

He is like 19. Goddam.

got a car, wrote on windshield, died in a crash

this kid might resurface again in another 20 or so years.
but by that time no one will remeber him, and this whole twitter shit will only be causually be brought up in retrospectis after he's made his greatist contribution and nearing his death bed.

Or he was some sort of "PR" stunt. Where the new in thing was child math geniuses. Child prodigies. He might be an actor, or something.

Who knows what the future holds.

He doesn't have to be in the spotlight all the time.

Nothing, he just isn't on TV all the time anymore.

Man, I hope he doesn't drive like that.

He got old. Just because mommy and daddy and afford to put you in college much earlier does not make you a genius.

The problem is that people conflate "early learner" with "savant". So he learned integration by parts at 12 or whatever so fucking what? If he had independently discovered integration by parts at 12 then we would be talking.

This

Learning as a kid is way easier. Especially if you have no friends and you have access to learning materials. Its not at all shocking that some 12 year olds can do calculus. If every kid focused less on sports and barbie dolls & more on math, we would have a ton of jake barnetts

idiots, he's doing great

He is just doing a PhD like everyone else
Wow.

Supervisor: Lee Smolin

Best case scenario he's tenured at 24 and goes Kaczynski on us.

he's quite young tho

>tfw your mom wanted to turn you into this
>tfw she pressured the school to move you up a few years and take exams early
>tfw they eventually caved in
>tfw you refused by saying that "taking exams early doesn't make me smarter than the rest of my class"
>tfw your mom gave you a Mensa form
>tfw you refused to fill it in saying "it's just a bragging club"
How woke was I at age 13?

Yes, but so has everyone.

There's nothing "woke" about being dyslexic and living with your mom in your thirties

nice burn

>tfw every mom does this

Lol no, lots of moms don't give a fuck how you do.

ran out of windows to write in

Confirmed for having a shit mom

My mom denied any gifted programs or anything like that. The best thing a parent can do is encourage reading and exercise until the kid is 18. All else will follow from there

My mpm just wants me to have fun. I think math is fun, so that's what I do.

many autists are actually alive and well

heard hes solving IUT and random sequence extrapolation these days

Why are people impressed with him? I watched his yt vids. Its all basic shit any 8 year old could learn

Illiterates find it impressive and he's an old in-joke on Veeky Forums.

It's undebatable that one looks smart as shit when writing on windows.

I could have done it at his age if I knew getting my ged freshman year of HS was an option.

like most autistic prodigies his brain was mature at 9 and then stopped developing, so at his age he is more or less on equal level with other mathematicians/physicists

Ran out of paper so know he has to keep sperging somewhere.

this really happens?

Yes, this literally happens.

Same with my mom. And now I'm a jobless shit

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_toward_the_mean

He has adapted to his environment of the lack of new information, and the excess of old information by receding into a primal state of energy-efficient normiedom.
