      The other youth were my intellectual inferiors. They would ask what I'm doing on my weekend and I'd say "discovering a fundamental theorem of calculus". They didn't even know what that was so it was hard to dumb it down for them.

        The fundamental theorems of calculus aren't even really complex. If you had a decent math teacher, you should be able to figure them out well before you get to that section.

        Almost like education is structured to build up to certain concepts and gives you the tools to understand each successive part of the curriculum.

        But I don't think this guy is telling the truth, unless he counts learning that multiplying time by speed gets you distance as "discovering a fundamental theorem of calculus"

    This is the type of person to whom you could sell made-up premium tiers for MENSA.

    I took an IQ test after I got a concussion

    A smart person would have simply rescheduled the exam.

      I took an online IQ test after several concussions and I was also at 130.

      But consider that 1. I am a dumbass and 2. That IQ tests only compare you to your age range, and being better at solving puzzles than the average 10 year old isn't that fucking impressive.

      Also that IQ is made up BS. If it was an actual measure of innate intelligence you wouldn't be able to train yourself to get better scores.

        I mean, brains are plastic particularly at a young age. So it would be pretty crazy if you couldn't train yourself to get a better score.

        However you slice it, I still believe the SAT score is the only one that accurately predicts genius because I got a 1510 on that one.

    You still never discovered the difference between "its" and "it's", galaxy brain

    That's always been the ultimate demonstration of intelligence to me

        Every time I type a sentence ending in a quote, double space, and it puts a second period after the quotation mark I want to fucking stomp my phone.

          trying not to capitalize after a quote that ends in a question mark ut the sentence isn't over will eventually cause my brain to explode.

    2nd grade comes after 3rd grade now? Guess they bumped him back down a grade after he threatened the math establishment

      you misread it, he said he discovered calculus shortly after he discovered algebra

    I taught myself to read at 2 and if I do share that, it's as a fun fact that's kinda weird, not as a flex, because I don't expect anyone to be impressed 35 years later.

    I can't imagine bragging about things I did in first grade as a grown adult.
