9 Year-old Chinese kid "bored" in College

OK. this is as good a thread as any to out myself. I am an actual genius. The odds say that I am smarter than anyone you will meet in your entire life. I have an IQ in the top .01% of the country (I like to look at it like this: 99.99% of you are dumber than I am. So suck it) I was reading books and carrying on conversations by the age of six months. By the age of two I was tested and found to be on or above a college reading level. I got bored in school too. Dreadfully bored. The difference here is I was smart enough not to skip grades and put myself in an awkward place like this kid. Or perhaps its my parents that were smart. They didn't, and don't view me as some sort of late life meal ticket, which is good since I'll never do anything that most people would deem "worthwhile" with my life.

Either way, school is not where you learn the important things. School is only good for showing people that you know how to learn. I think we'll never hear from this kid again.

I can totally believe Josh was a kid genius and I've heard of a few prodigies that live normal lives in their adulthood. One example was teh porn star Asia Carrera was a piano prodigy and even played at Carnegie Hall when she was a kid--later on she dropped outta school and the rest was history.

Josh are you a MENSA member?

If I wanted to I could join Mensa, Intertel, Glia Society, One-in-a-Thousand Society, Milenija, ISI-Society, the Top One Percent Society, maybe even Vertex if I wanted to. Not the Prometheus Society though. I'm not smart enough.

I don't want to. I have no desire to be viewed differently than any of you mouth breathing troglodytes that walk the streets.

See you at WalMart.

Of course he is bored. He is not getting any pussy in college.

Actually in general I wouldn't be suprised if the average intelligence of alot of people on here is far above the average. The boards often have a way of suprising my by the level of thought people actually put into issues. Its just way people argue is so wrapped up in ego that I can only take it in doses.

I was number 2 math student at my school yada yada yada (the number 1 was the best math student on the east coast), but unlike Josh, I just never got bored with learning.
In fact, even in college, pussy chasing got more boring than I thought it would. Now, I'll admit as fast as anyone, that the classes are terribly slow and useless, but I really like alot of the information that they are supposed to teach.
There's alot of really amazing shit out there that I would rather learn than have to listen to dave mathews at shitty parties trying to get into the pants of a cute girl that probably shouldn't be in college to begin with.

I'm actually really happy to be in college.

(On the topic of cliche college shit, I demand a beer pong rematch type ryan).

I never meant to imply that I got bored of learning. I just got bored with school. I would sit around and read about things that interested me instead of doing my homework. When I got to high school I would do drugs, then sit around and read about things that interested me instead of doing my homework. I would sleep through school so I could stay up all night reading books about things.

I'm the smartest person ever to graduate from high school with a 1.973 gpa. (thats almost last in my class kids!)

IWTP. My GPA in college fell a full point due to attendance problems, I did well on tests/papers/projects (B+ grades, occasional A's), but with attendance in all the classes being 10% of the final grade, my GPA suffered. My social skills, hooking up with girls, and beer pong abilities did not. I think my GPA would have been around the 3.4-3.6 mark had I actually gone to class. If only I went to a school where attendance wasn't so heavily weighted, but that's what you get for going to a private college.

Learning can be fun. I make it a point to know about as much random shit as posssible. That's why I like TNL and channels such as; The Discovery Channel, Learning Channel, Science Channel, Food Network, Discovery Times, and any channel where I can learn about something new.


Oh, Destin - any time. I just played beer pong on Sunday and owned the table (5 games in a row before people quit). The next time I play at your house, I prefer to see lots of good looking, horny college girls playing beer pong. Make it happen.

Edit: Seriously though, this kid isn't having fun because he's not getting fucked up and getting laid, which is a good portion of your college experience (or at least it should be).

Yeah, I'm a top-percentile genius, too. I've been floating around, to outward appearances not using my gift to its fullest, but I do things on my own timetable to a degree that is very disconcerting to some people. I could make a zillion dollars being some rat-racing fuckpig, but I am working on making myself more than someone who scores high on standardized tests and I don't need to do things a certain way to get there.
