>>11753395He was a child prodigy, and as a blissful coincidence, was born into a family that nurtured his abilities. His father could afford paying the greatest tutors of Hungary to teach János, although he also made him take up fencing, which the young Neumann despised. He then went to a great gimnázium (~high school) -Fasori I think, but I am not certain - where university teachers tutored Budapest’s finest talents.
To me, Neumann, and the other likewise talented Hungarian scientists (“The Martians”) of the time are the proof of what talent combined with great upbringing can achieve. Also, they were almost all of Jewish descent, and the nazis drove them away from Hungary, so fuck /pol/ shills.
