Trolling is not permitted outside of /b/. You're on a board that champions and embraces the methodical approach to scientific discovery. You really ought to do better. Do consider carving out some time to reflect on what you typed.

Who was the second smartest genius of all times? I'd say Hamilton.

>At the age of seven, he had already made progress in Hebrew, and before he was 13, he had acquired, under the care of his uncle, a dozen languages: classical and modern European languages, Persian, Arabic, Hindustani, Sanskrit, Marathi and Malay.

Why is no one bothering to answer my second question? Leaded gasoline is extremely safe.

You fall on a media hype.The really brilliant people and papers will never come to you if you fall for PopSci that stupid.

Would he have been as smart had he not been born to a noble family who satisfied his every curiosity with the best libraries and educators money could buy from the time he could speak? I do wonder just how many of these prodigies are a product of hype. There can be little doubt that he was a genius, but to what extent he was truly "the smartest man who ever lived" is difficult to gauge.

One article pointed out that the most brilliant people in history had personal tutors. And JvN had parents that went all in to let him maximize his potentials.
Personal tutors are passee today and only the stupid get specially adapted education.

People used to have apprenticeships all the time, that’s how they got good at painting or science or math. I fucking hate lecture halls man.

100% this. Is all the fault of leaded gasoline.

We are deep and still sinking deeper into stagnation, we simply have to go back to what worked.
