- If I ask you who the smartest person to ever live on Earth was, you'll probably name Isaac Newton or Stephen Hawking or some other outstanding scientist. But what if I tell you there was someone really smart but no one's really heard about him? He was a child prodigy and an exceptional mathematician. Why didn't he get rich or famous?

Hey there! Who was the smartest person you’ve ever met?🤩

As usual,
we see that media has played a bad role in this Era too.
Sounds like my Dad when he was young. Reading the newspaper and understanding it at 2. He had a vocabulary that was never ending. At 3 when an old lawyer stopped everyday to buy vegetables and asked him what he was reading. When my Dad told him the old man said "My boy you would make a fine lawyer one day" patting him on the head. My Dad went to U of Michigan Law School and after his law career he became Circuit Court Judge. He lived to be 99.
Cool dad! Was he a Republican or Democrat?
I'm impressed, I lived next-door to a judge named Maurice Charles in Markham, Ontario Canada. He sold the house to a lawyer with about 100 times the net worth Maurice had. His wife is also a lawyer. Streets in Markham were named after the wife.
Carol Ferguson Was your dad also worshipped by his mother or parents?!? My father was an early wind turbine pioneer. He founded the oldest organization for renewable energy in the EU, long before renewable energy became mainstrream. He built among other things some of the earliest modern windturbines, and anticipated the dangers of climate change, nuclear power, and extreme poverty of the third World countries. However he was also narcissist, always needed to be the center of attention, and a negligent father, who could not accept his children to have healthy relations with friends and women that he didn't have himself. He also lectured people in things that he didn't know anything about.
@@troelskristensen7448 Your dad?
Totally cool!
My friend who was very smart, had a very gifted child. She encouraged her mentally and by the age of 5 yrs could see that the child was unpopular with class mates and teachers. So she stopped any academic pursue and living in a rural community there was nothing on offer anyway. She just encouraged her daughter at home and endeavored to teach the child social skills. It was hard as the child had high functioning Asperger. With great effort the child was encouraged in social clubs and sports, like social swim club.
20 yrs down the track this girl has grown up and managed to have a happy family and works in financial world and is doing very well. I admire my friend for the effort and recognition of what was needed, it wasn't easy.

This reminds me of Tesla, who introduced ac electricity to the world, yet was always overshadowed by Edison his former boss and later adversary, because the latter was a ruthless businessman but Tesla was more of a humanitarian who became a recluse and died in penury.
Yes. He should not waive away his royalty.
If he did not do so then he would have enough money to build a new lab and continue his research.
Tesla invented the 21st century back in the 1800 s wi fi wireless energy harpp program Einstein was a fraud put in place to discredit Tesla
@Zane Grey do your research the truth is out there you just have to look
@Zane Grey I think Edison was an opportunist with above average intelligence 🤔 . He was money 💰 driven and Tesla had no love for money which was probably why he didn't look to profit from his work. If Tesla had had a bit more love of the coin and worked on the production and profit 📈 aspect of invention he'd have put Edison in the shade. I've read somewhere Tesla financed Edisons electricity production using Teslas discovery of the alternating current rather than Edisons belief he'd discovered the secret of viable electricity production using direct current. Didn't he Edison build massive stations for production of electricity which were not sustainable. Whereas Tesla's Alternating Current was a viable option. Tesla died alone in a Hotel. The social aspect of his personality was lacking like Sir William in this story. Parents who work in jobs and leave their children to stew are negligent in the core aspects of parenting which is a feeling of security that a child needs.

William just didn't want flash striking his eyes. Or articles which talked about him and his geniuses. He just wanted a simple, normal life where he could be himself. Obviously, he didn't want fame. I understands him very well.

He was really misunderstood. He was a rare person in our lifetime. His parents instead of him being gifted, they should have been more loving, well grounded and let him be a child, adult in the process. Social skills are very important also in growing areas of life. Always look at what is in front of you, looking at your surroundings is important too. People don’t appreciate greatness, protect, support it and will take advantage of it. A cold video of people who are colder and disrespectful towards people who are gifted. Really saddened by this story, WOW!

Having a high IQ doesn’t necessarily mean that much. There’s a farmer in Missouri with an IQ of 200. And before becoming a farmer he was a bouncer in a bar!
Chris Langan
True enough. I know bits of eighteen languages, four languages fluently or conversational. Have a photographic memory and grow hay, cattle. I have driven a school bus and the kids called me “Mr. Google” because I could answer every “why” question ever posed to me. I am not sure of my exact IQ rating, but have been told that it could be around 162. I taught a young man, struggling with math, how to do “cowboy math” in his head, while driving the bus. He now excels in the subject.

Hi there...how are you doing??
he probably lived a great and vibrant life within his mind and enjoyed his incredible intelligence on his own ignoring the social scorn that comes from a social status ladder created by those concerned that someone might shine brightly without needing approval of a social hierarchy built around them by jealous wannabes🔍
William: *Collects train tickets*
Other people: What are you doing?
William: My goals are beyond my understanding.
Saddest story I ever heard. Perhaps a book or movie could recognize his abilities. One can only hope he found a companion in his later years. One that honored his wishes . Someone by his side at the end.
No companion mentioned in the parody. Parents had only one child obviously. If he'd had siblings he'd have had someone to fight with aswell as play with. Playtime is so important for children's development as it teaches them social skills
My grandfather had a difficult life similarly to this man. The military tested his IQ at 260 . He did research for the navy at the age of 16 .then worked at Sears in a research lab with two military suits standing over him taking everything that he developed. He became very frustrated with this and decided to retire in his late 20s. From that point on he raised his family while helping people improving versus things in their life's. He lived as if he was the poorest of every one but that was not true. This way nobody noticed him.
Your grandfather sounds as though he was a very special man. I long for the day we will all LOVE this way. Just imagine...
Nice story
This is maybe true but it is impossible his IQ was 260, you can't just play around saying random IQ scores, 260 is extremely unbelivably incredibly high. A 'normal' VERY smart person (top 2% of people) is ≥ 130 IQ. By the story you told, I'm guessing you'r grandfather is maximum probably 150 AT MOST. This sounds like an insult but it is really not, it actually is a compliment because 150 was pretty much Albert Einstein's IQ.
@@Straw69420 it’s not his Iq is 160 not 150

Well if you are truly smart you would never fill your brain with 200 languages the English language is suppirior to any it's made from them all it can't realy get any better it's like math it was ther from the begining I can't say it's a compleat waist of time to learn other languages but my brain will waist no time with spelling punctuation or anything like that ther is to mutch information you have to filter out everything you don't need

There's a reason that the prison's system has so many geniuses. So many are socially damaged. This is a sad story & it hopefully reminds those watching to be patient and kind to others.
Yeah, not sure how many geniuses are actually in prison, unless you’re using a _very_ loose definition of the word “many,” and “geniuses”…
What is your evidence that prisons have "so many geniuses" instead of merely common criminals?
Too many "Karen"'s here. Do your research.
Hi there...how are you doing??
Did read once in the book of lists Australian version the tenth most common occupation of a Mensa member is prison inmate .

Sometimes too smart is too smart
How smarter you are, the more chance you get depressed
If he was destined to live longer, then who knows where he would've reached... 😞
Old age?
I gotta love those stop motion effect videos.
To bad he wasn't able to overcome his fear of people and be able to succeed and find true friends regardless. Social anxieties and mental health in general can stop what could have been a world changer. It's so important to take care of mental health and try to find a certain amount of healing so it doesn't stop you from fulfilling your purposes in life and being happy.
You're so right!
Proof that brains aren’t everything…need personality, social skills, mental balance and love. Sad for that young man who died so young.
Treat people how you would like to be treated yourself.
I think you misunderstand him in a way. I have a feeling that higher intelligence is directly related to sensitivity, or at least in some individuals. If you look at some of the brightest minds, you'll see that they are very much in a lower state of mind because of this. It would be incredibly difficult for him to communicate with the average person because of how different he is, hence them being more likely to be depressed. You become the black sheep because you're seen as odd to normal people and you're ostracized. The average person wants to feel powerful or wanted (See Nietzsche); they don't want to change or improve the world in any meaningful way because they can't, so they take it out on people with potential. It has become easier now with computers without the need to get out to form connections and we should be grateful despite its obvious downsides.
People are cruel, cherish those with a gift and be rewarded.
Unfortunately, a person at this level of thinking feels lonely because there is no one who can fully understand what he wants to share. Sharing thoughts and deeds is in human nature and this satisfaction is denied to geniuses unless they meet someone at their level. This guy had no chance to find his equal. When you have a high IQ, you crave to meet someone smarter than you to stimulate your brain. Imagine a chess champion condemned to playing with beginners. Not much fun, is it?
Thank you for your thoughtful and wise opinion. Truth well spoken.
👏 could not agree more.
@The what's stopping you going and having experiences?
@The person sounds to me like you are an introvert my dude. We get tired out quicker when around other ppl and yet alone we feel energized. You may also be a T type (thinker) over an F type (feeler) thinking types are often in their heads having an amazing time with infinite possibilities and ideas. When trying to express that to another in words it becomes difficult.
Have you ever taken the myer briggs personality test. It's free online. I felt as you do for all my life then at 30 I found out about the test. Took it. Found I was an INTJ and the world started to make more sense. I had everyone I knew take it so I could study their types. Doing this helped me connect better to ppl because I had this tool to understand them better aswel as myself.

Social intelligence is a must.I see so many talanted people unable to prove their worth because they r not socially intelligent
Understandable. Childhood to adulthood
Well as a child, I heard that I had an IQ of 140 and that I was smart .Then a friend told me he had an IQ over 200 so he was smarter. I did not know how IQs were figured so I assumed he must be that smart.
Then I took an IQ test that was given on the TV. There were 100 people there, scientists, Doctors, Teachers to name a few of the people. Again it said I had an IQ of 140, but out of the 100 people taking the test, I outscored all of them.
Keep in mind an IQ of 100 is the average IQ. Just mathematically, it is not very possible. There was a lady a few years ago claiming to have an IQ of 210. She wrote books and gave lectures. Unfortunately she did not have the IQ she claimed.
To be honest, I still do not know how IQ scores are computed, I am dubious of anyone saying they have an IQ over 200.
The whole "IQ" thing is suspect.
Depends on which test. Some scales only go up to 200, others have no specific upper limit. IQ becomes less relevant and harder to measure precisely at the upper bounds.

Yup school is useless and a high IQ won’t necessarily pay your bills, such a great message for em kids.
He knew what he did.. for his IQ, the material world, name and fame didnt mean anything. He knew that there were dimensions beyond.. He knew and understood that you rise better alone.. Being a clerk, an accountant or a carpenter is sufficient rather than name, fame and no privacy, no self-growth, no realisation and focus on what is beyond!

IMO, the WISEST person I have read about would be Epicurus (341-270 BC). He was interested in BEING HAPPY, not rich or famous. William Sidis might have lived a happy life if he had read about Epicureanism. Also, living relatively stress free might have added a few happy years to his life. I wish I had learned Epicureanism about 70 years ago! Oh well, it's never too late to change (I hope).
Well, you can't test Socrates, as he was opposed to the idea of writing down ideas, instead being a conversationalist -- attaining a "disciplined conversation".
He also believed it is "weakening the necessity and power of memory, and for allowing the pretense of understanding, rather than true understanding."
"It is a discourse that is written down, with knowledge, in the soul of the listener; it can defend itself, and it knows for whom it should speak and for whom it should remain silent."
"He [Socrates] worried that reliance on writing would erode memory (it has!), but also, and maybe more importantly, that reading would mislead students to think that they had knowledge, when they only had data."
"When told that the Oracle of Delphi had revealed to one of his friends that Socrates was the wisest man in Athens, he responded not by boasting or celebrating, but by trying to prove the Oracle wrong."
Socrates was truly an incredible man. I'll see about Epicurus also.
Alan Turing is a great example of how we dont deserve these geniuses amongst us, though we need em.
Being unusually intelligent can be very lonely because most people are either jealous of them or want to use them as a tool for their own gain and rarely understand them or think of them as being human.
I dont agree with comparing smart people from back in the day and someone from now. You may ask yourself why? Well there's many factors like the internet, smartphones, AI, Smart Cars, foods and vitamins they didnt have back then. There's literally hundreds of resources they didn't have. So I dont think it's fair to compare the old with the new.
Wait.Nobody is talking about that back in the old times,there use to be newspapers,activities,books,fun,being smart,but...after when technology and devices came,everything changed...there online dates,getting kidnapped even online...bullies,bad word songs...and more...
Definitely “on the Spectrum” and it being woo years ago, nobody had a clue what that was/is. Very sad to be so isolated, to not understand other’s social cues, and to have a mind that nobody can else can relate to. Some gifts can be a curse like that. At least he knew how to write and could put his own thoughts and ideas on pen to paper. It was probably his solace.
No matter how many times you fall down, never give up. Remember how many times a child falls before he learn how to walk.

This reminds me. At high school I’m in the math team and one of my teammates is named Alan, who is so smart that I can’t think of words to describe it. He took Precalc in 8th grade AP Calculus in the 9th grade. And I thought it was impressive for me to take Algebra 1 and 2 in the 7th and 8th grade. And even besides math, he took all the honors and AP classes available to him. I highly doubt his iq is below 150 and I highly doubt he won’t become famous like Albert Einstein for his big brain.

The word algebra comes from the title of a Persian mathematician's famous 9th century treatise "Kitab al-Jabr Wa l-Mugabala" which translates roughly as "The Book of Reasoning and Balancing." Built on the roots of Greek and Hindu systems, the new algebraic order was a unifying system for rational numbers, irrational numbers and geometrical magnitudes. The same mathematician, Al-Khwarizmi, was also the first to introduce the concept of raising a number to a power.

If we were learning a subject I liked or was interested in, I'd destroy the curve (sorry guys) On other things I was ambivalent, I did just enough to pass; my thoughts elsewhere. I was asked more than once how smart I was, and my answer has always been the same; "as smart as I needed to be". Don't get me wrong, being really, really (one more) really smart has its advantages, it can also be very lonely. I'd rather be "normal" with great throngs of friends and adventures, then to be someone who has an easy time with ideas, but no real grasp of people skills
Before you wish to succeed ask yourself why you need it..some of us if not many dont need it .
The Triple Nine Society are all super geniuses, and beautiful souls.
They are! I know a handful of them from our Mensa group. Never pompous or pretentious, never arrogant.
This is so sad. I wish someone had just loved him

Aptitude Quotient (A.Q. the Ability to learn) is a better measure for intelligence because a person living in the jungle may be more intelligent than a mathematician. While I.Q. examines accumulated knowledge of geographical history and social normative aspects of the individual.
IQ has nothing to do with knowledge. Ever taken an IQ test? It measures only your ability to see patterns.
@@marks6663 yes, I have taken an Intelligence quotion test. I know that use of superlatives often reflects angry ignorance.

genius is not only IQ...Andrew Wiles for example the solver of the Fermat Last Theorem in addition to the high IQ has a great passion and application to mathematics, the same for geniuses like Einstein for physics
It would be interesting to know if he was conversational in all those languages, or if he could only read and write in them.

Similar to Donald Trump.
When my parents realized how brilliant I was, they purposely DIDN’T put me in Harvard so I could fit in with kids my age. I, too, wrote a letter at the age of 8. I think it was an I, then I moved on to L. I’ve really had to work to keep my accomplishments low, but seeing how unhappy this fellow was, I think I’m on the right track.
anyone can write a letter at 8

But William Sidis did get married. He married Sarah Mandelbaum a highly motivated person like him. They had two children Billy and a daughter born April 1, 1898. From the 1st days in his crib the infant was taught to be a prodigy. His father dangled letterblocks before his eyes and he and he knew his alphabet by the time he was six months old. So I guess his whole life wasn't gloom & doom.
