This dude wrote books on particle physics at 15 and got a PHD in physics at 20, how the fuck do you do that, when I was 14 I was oblivious to everything I just went out with my friends in the countryside.

I usually regard myself as a smart person but after seeing the accomplishments of some of this kind of people I feel like I'm just a mediocrefag.

>Wolfram's father, Hugo Wolfram (1925–2015), a textile manufacturer born in Bochum, Germany, served as managing director of the Lurex Company, makers of the fabric Lurex. He was also the author of three novels.[11][12][13][14] He emigrated to England in 1933.[15] When World War II broke out, he left school at 15 and subsequently found it hard to get a job since he was regarded as an "enemy alien". As an adult, he took correspondence courses in philosophy and psychology.[11]

Wolfram's mother, Sybil Wolfram (1931–1993; born Sybille Misch), originally from Berlin, Germany, was a Fellow and Tutor in Philosophy at Lady Margaret Hall at University of Oxford from 1964 to 1993. She published two books, Philosophical Logic: An Introduction (1989)[16] and In-laws and Outlaws: Kinship and Marriage in England (1987).[17][18] She was the translator of Claude Lévi-Strauss's La pensée sauvage (The Savage Mind), but later disavowed the translation.[19][20] She was the daughter of criminologist and psychoanalyst Kate Friedlander (1902–1949), an expert on the subject of juvenile delinquency,[21] and the physician Walter Misch (1889–1943) who, together, wrote Die vegetative Genese der neurotischen Angst und ihre medikamentöse Beseitigung.[22] After the Reichstag fire in 1933, she emigrated from Berlin, Germany to England with her parents and Jewish psychoanalyst Paula Heimann (1899–1982).[23][24][25]
>Wolfram was educated at Eton College, but left prematurely in 1976.[28] At Eton, he was taught mathematics by Norman Routledge (1928–2013), a friend of Alan Turing.[29][30] He entered St. John's College, Oxford at age 17

>Wolfram, at the age of 15, began research in applied quantum field theory and particle physics and published scientific papers. Topics included matter creation and annihilation, the fundamental interactions, elementary particles and their currents, hadronic and leptonic physics, and the parton model, published in professional peer-reviewed scientific journals including Nuclear Physics B, Australian Journal of Physics, Nuovo Cimento, and Physical Review D.[42] Working independently, Wolfram published a widely cited paper on heavy quark production at age 18[2] and nine other papers,[18] and continued research and to publish on particle physics into his early twenties. Wolfram's work with Geoffrey C. Fox on the theory of the strong interaction is still used in experimental particle physics.[43]
I think it's interesting that even someone this intelligent hasn't been able to make a considerable Einstein-like mark on physics. It's just become too complicated for one person to make a large contribution these days.

I'm sure no one has said this ever, but humans didn't evolve to live in nation states we evolved to survive in the savannah. From that point of view your intelligence is sufficient (maybe even superfluous). The problem is that society benefits disproportionately benefits the intelligent and the lucky; more emphasis on the lucky. Our biology hasn't exactly caught up. In fact, I think it has retrogressed, taken a turn for the worse. We've become domesticated. We are not allowed to think certain things, are more easily manipulated by norms, etc. so that say murdering your boss is unthinkable.

he is reasonably high iq but he also had a private education and tutors; his parents payed attention to him and guided him to academic pursuits; he had money and tools at his disposal; and he had strong community support. If you wonder why the jews are doing better than whites it's because they have strong family and community ties, they believe in selective breeding, and they put an emphasis on schooling

You will never accomplish what he has accomplished because you failed to start when you were a kid and you don't have the support structure.

imagine that you broke your leg and were told you would never be a runner. you can either accept it or put in more effort than the average and learn effective strategies which may be worthless but if you can overcome the disability then you will be in a better place than the average person as far as work ethic

I once gave a "lecture" or a "show and tell" in the 7th grade about the universe when I was 13-14 years old. The topics included black holes, subatomic particles, supernovae and some other concepts.

The lecture wasn't even part of a physics class, it was for a Dutch class but we were allowed to talk about any book so I picked one about physics.

My teacher was blown away that I could grasp the aforementioned subjects, give examples and even answer questions from fellow classmates like what happens when someone would fall into a black hole. I talked about the event horizon, the Schwarzschild radius.

So anyway, now I fap to tranny porn by myself.

He just found a borderline autistic interest at a young age which isn't flashy video games. Had I read books on a topic with the same ferocity I slaughtered Orks in DoW:FoK I probably would have had a PhD too at a young age and probably had that supported by good parents who gave him material and maybe even hooked him up with good teachers on the subjects. Many parents probably don't even know how to get in touch with local professors.
Honestly wouldn't be surprised if he is a lopsided personality which knows next to nothing to unrelated fields. Doesn't have to be bad, but defs isn't good.
