I'm sure his parents are completely normal and didn't push him to skip his childhood :D

either way, it's kind of awesome because he still has plenty of time left for a childhood! honestly I look back at elementary school and high school and college and it is such a long drawn-out ordeal that could really be condensed into just a few years instead of like 20 years, ugh. This kid did something right, clearly. He even looks genuinely happy in the first picture 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm sure he will have a normal childhood now and isn't pushed to continue his academic career.

yeah his parents will say "congratulations! You have reached 30-year-old status. You are free to do whatever you want." And he's gonna go outside and play and have fun for the first time in his still-young life :-)

And I'm sure he won't have any mental health problems and traumas or disorders. Not at all

If yall want people to discredit degrees, this is how it is done correctly.

It's 5 associates of arts degrees from a cc. Likely most requirements overlapped. I have 2 engineering degrees because the second only took 6 more credits to obtain.

Literally, how does one accomplish something like this? There's requirements, a certain number of credits, that take time to earn, and it seems simply impossible. Maybe it's 5 undergraduate degrees, including AAs and other 2 year degrees? Did he start at 8?

Questions questions.

went to look for the article, he started at 9, and went to CC (Fullerton College)

his degrees are:

five Associate of Arts degrees: History, Social Sciences, Social Behavior and Self-Development, Arts and Human Expression, and Science and Mathematics. His GPA was 3.92

Well now he better go to grad school because he's 4 to 6 years from being employable at most jobs.

Be born rich. Tons of little geniuses stay nowhere cause their parents didn't have the money to put them into the best programs and schools. But kids like this have rich parents who can afford to have their kids encouraged and discovered earlier.

takeda 18 points 3 years ago

He is. I mean in interview he mentioned that he wants to get a pilot license. That kind of hobby isn't cheap.

Side note, I also can't help but think that while he has this opportunity, it is also sad. His childhood is being destroyed to satisfy his mom. I mean he got 5 degrees, which sounds great, but those are associate degrees, and from majors that don't really matter. All this to have an article that he graduated with 5 degrees at 12 year old.

In another article that I found they didn't list what degrees he got and he talked about being an aerospace engineer or a pediatrist when he grows up (I'm quite sure mom watched The Good Doctor, and that's why he is "interested"). So I thought he really got engineering degree and also finished premed and was extremely impressed. I'm not saying that what he got isn't impressive, but the degrees he got was a pointless waste of his childhood years that he will never get back.

There's a really long tail on the distribution of intelligence. The smartest people in the world are to intellect what pro athletes are to physical ability.

You think Lionel Messi wasn't already super good at futbol at a young age?

You'll probably enjoy your life 5x more than the kid though.

And you most likely enjoyed your childhood at least 10x more

I am not so sure about that part, unfortunately.

Sorry to hear that.

Point was, that child's childhood sucked ass for sure, a lot more than the average person's
