How do you differentiate between child prodigies and weird parents' success for PR campaigns for satisfying their vicarious aspirations toward genius? It seems to me like if a child is in the news, that's more about the parents than the child.

You can see Tesla stock really took off when I moved to that apartment in Dunwoody where they started stealing my semen on an industrial scale to sell it through Tesla. I moved there after Helene kicked me out of the condo I was renting from her when I could no longer pay rent after she got me fired from my job at Georgia Tech by telling sick and malicious lies about me. This issue of my semen being Tesla's real cash cow is why Tesla had like 3 or 4 general counsels quit in one year: they found out what Tesla's real business model is and got out of there, ASAP. All of those billions Elon is reaping off his stock come from selling my stolen semen. That's also why Tesla encountered "surprise Model 3 production delays" due to "certain parts being made by hand" when I became homeless in 2017: they could no longer suck the scum out of the drain in my sink and it fucked up their business model. Also, the reason Tesla started charging more for "black paint" after I started to grow my hair out is because they were selling GM-ed black haired babies grown from my stolen semen for a premium.

Since this jew and Greta have been having a lot more threads lately, I will comment on them. The person above first came to my attention with this clip about how didn't like my pirate novel. After that, he started getting about 50 threads per day. Following his recent PR collaboration with Greta, it's around 50 threads at a time, which is surprisingly many. It is no surprise, however, that he and Greta are doing PR for each other's psyops because Greta's schtick is also fostering resentment for me and my work. To wit, Greta's mom was fucking some guy whose baby she didn't want to have and then she got pregnant with my stolen semen by collaborating with my enemies to deny me the affections of the women that want to have my babies. (I get "big satan energy" from that, incidentally.) Not long before Greta appeared on TV as a darling of the MSM, I began to post about how all such abominable semen monsters and their families were sentenced to death. The reactionary purpose of Greta on TV is not to complain about the climate but rather it is to complain about my intention to exterminate the families that conspired in whole or in part with my enemies to deny me the affections of the women that want to have my babies rather than the babies of whoever they're fucking instead of me. In brief, they wish to promote the falsehood that I must be an awful person if I want to put cute little Greta to death. Although the jew's recent joint PR campaign with Greta painted the two of them as ideologically opposed, they are in total ideological harmony. That's why their handlers would have orchestrated their recent joint PR operations: to use synergy to increase the platform of my detractors.

Most who get identified as child prodigies are just demonstrating familiarity or interest in topics above their grade level and not creativity/innovation.
Anybody with a decent memory and early motivation and exposure to advanced topics will be seen as a genius who learns quickly when they really just dumped more time into learning (effort gets mistaken as ease).
Also, a lot of what we identify as acts of genius are just people in the right place at the right time with sufficient skills.
Usually it is the case that somebody else would get the job done if they weren't there.
The child prodigies have the same odds as everyone else for the most part.

If you want to increase your odds, get a wide breadth of knowledge/skills and pay attention to where shit is popping off.

my theory is that a majority of them aren't geniuses at all. What's going on is that they just happen to enjoy the content being taught at school, so much so that they will do it for fun and end up doing way more of it than the typical student. A true child genius would do no more study than one of the average students yet get results far above the top students. This information on their study habits is very rarely included in the information we hear about them. So while they might be very intelligent, they don't actually some kind of edge case superior intelligence

This is actually true. Good memory doesn't make one a prodigy. It's how they approach the unfamiliar. It usn't entirely uncommon for prodigies to be sent into a soecial class, as they refuse to learn (it's something obvious to them) or argue about what they're being taught.

It's the IQ tests they take as children. They're given some handicap in the form of extra points. That is, a 130 IQ child (which is quite intelligent and capable of learning advanced concepts long before their peers) will be given an inflated IQ of 160+ due to being a literal child. As the child ages, it becomes clearer and clearer his score was inflated as he reveals himself to he the 130IQ person he is. There's nothing wrong with this, of course, and they're still quite smart. It's just that they fail to live up to the expectations of a 160+ IQ alleged genius.

While it is true that some child prodigies may not go on to achieve significant success as adults, there are certainly cases of individuals who have maintained exceptional abilities and achieved impressive accomplishments throughout their lives. For example, mathematician Terence Tao was a child prodigy who made significant contributions to mathematics as a teenager, and has gone on to become a world-renowned researcher in the field. Similarly, physicist Stephen Hawking showed exceptional aptitude for mathematics and science as a child, and went on to become one of the most well-known and influential physicists of the modern era. These are just a few examples, but there are many other cases of individuals who have maintained exceptional abilities and continued to achieve impressive accomplishments throughout their lives, despite the challenges and pressures that can come with being a prodigy.

I disagree. Finding subjects to be more fun than all the other students means you’re a genius. There’s no reason to enjoy knowledge for the sake of it unless you are inclined to it because you’re gifted. Kids who don’t study or care about school but get good marks are just skilled at what they do but have no curiosity.

Because many child prodigies just had an early growth spurt in their intelligence relative to their peer group. That doesn't indicate that the difference sustained into adulthood.

IQ measures your intelligence relative to your peers. If you test someone at age 11 and they have IQ 160, it's completely conceivable (and typical) that by the time they're 20, they test much lower because their peers have caught up.

The tallest girl in my grade 6 class stopped growing at 5'5" in adulthood. It's like that.
