He's a kid, he might be book smart but social development is strongly connected to age. No amout of "genius" changes that. Being able to relate to other people your own age is important.
How could it not? You can't seriously expect that a kid who's capable of completing PhD-level research as a teenager is following the same cognitive and social development model as his peers. What's the advantage of putting him in a situation where he doesn't have sufficient cognitive outlets and force him to interact with people who most likely don't share his interests? It's a recipe for social isolation.
Lmao
Google 'William Sidis'.
Seems like he was a pretty cool dude.
I don't agree with your overall take on this matter of socialization, as we've established, but I concur that this Sidis guy seems like a pretty cool dude who had his life figured out and I have no goddamn clue what the person you're talking to thinks they're getting at lmao. Really wild to see someone get so heated about being asked to just state their opinion.
What a great analysis of his life story. Just like this picture.
Hey, I did what you asked me to do. If you had a specific point to make you were welcome to do so.
And clearly learned nothing.
I'm not really here to have both sides of a discussion myself.
Hoe is it a 'both sides' discussion, dumbass?
Google "how to have a discussion like a grownup"
