Comment on Anon is a child prodigy
entheo_a1@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 hours agoAh so he didn’t just decide he didn’t like public attention, he went to a socialist rally and went to prison for sedition as a result, THEN realised maybe he was better off out of the public eye, where his politics was less likely to kill him…

Also I’d bet going through college at such a young age wasn’t exactly conducive to decent mental health.
Dude was probably burned the fuck out at a very young age.

He was smart but emotionally he was a kid. He was prodigiously intelligent for his age but emotionally he was developing at the normal pace for a kid. He was an 11 old kid surrounded by 18 year olds and older. The university faculty even pushed back against him being admitted so young but his father pushed for it until they admitted him.

Ah, that sucks to hear. I’m absolutely with the university on this. Not because he doesn’t deserve a mental challenge, but because he deserves to be a silly kid.
