Inside The Mind Of Jaxon Cota An 11-Year-Old Kid Genius | NBC Nightly News

[@timhallas4275]

Berlin Lincoln Children are too often viewed by parents as a possession that they can mold into whatever they want him/ her to be. They fail to recognize that this is a person, who has the right to freedom of expression of their own mind. That is why childhood should be a time of social growth and learning the responsibilities that come with freedom. Children should never be "trained" into any skill, or ideology. My attitude as a parent was always, show them where the tools are, and let them decide what to do with them.

[@boompanes2985]

+Tim Hallas that's why I'm very thankful for what kind of parents i have. they're just so supportive and never gives us pressure.

[@timhallas4275]

Boom Panes That's good to hear. Just remember to give thought to your own future and do not expect that it will come to you. Know yourself first, and then take from others the part of them that feels right to you. Be the best you that YOU can be. If anyone doesn't like you, then your with the wrong person.

[@inessa5923]

I think that the main difference between Jaxon and the messed up, formely gifted kids (like me) is that his "gift" hasn't been made to make out his entire identity. He isn't his talent, it's simply something he's great at but he still keeps his focus on other things in his life, such as friends and hobbies. Also, he understands the value of effort, and that is a very big deal.

[@cockerel6253]

Thank god these parents are in this kids life. Im glad this kid is living as a normal child. When you take simple things from a childrens life it can damage them forever. Growing up in a stable household with a balanced life in all aspects (school, sports, playing..) is key for you to become a good adult.

You can tell the kid is grounded in reality when he says that sometimes it takes trial and error in his activities.

If he watches rick and morty than he has a low IQ

[@catballsefv34]

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewers head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenevs Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

Just because he’s overall amazing in his calculations in math and other things related to math doesn’t mean he’s amazing at everything just like his mom said in the video that he still couldn’t tie his shoes.

[@hermergur]

David ALSO the child said that he just wanted to be a kid at the end of the video so if you skip all these grades or go for these hard schools for him he wouldn’t be able to experience being a child anymore, he’s still 11 . Think about their feelings tooooooooooooo >->

"A true genius does not equate intelligence to superiority; instead, it is merely a tool which can be used. It's like muscle, or acrobatics. Everyone is different, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, but each equally applicable in the right environment." -Tanner Steinbrecher, 2020

[@traceyanarchist3553]

that's what i tell folks all the time: it's not that we know "more" than others...we all know DIFFERENT things...

[@traceyanarchist3553]

i am on yet another totally unjust 30-day ban by the facistbook...and just watching YT with my morning coffee and rum...i wonder if i should try to contact the young man and ask him: WHY CAN'T FOLKS DO THIS BASIC MATH: Sam, who is standing on the equator is 3,959 miles "lower" than Dave who is standing on the north pole...Dave travelled 6,225 miles along the surface of the earth to go stand with sam on the equator: how much did Dave "drop" over each of the miles he travelled along the surface on his way to be with sam? it's very straightforward and easy..and yet...any "mathematician" i present this to goes insane and gets very rude...and tells me my clear basic correct math "doesn't work"...(even though it DOES...it just also happens to disprove their beLIEf about the earth..and THEIR very complicated math CAN'T EVEN ANSWER THAT QUESTION...(what is the drop PER MILE) none of them seem able to acknowledge that whatever the "drop" PER MILE is it HAS to be the same over each and every mile... if folks actually think that through..they will see how the government lies about EVERYTHING..on a MASSIVE scale. i mean..there are folks who've dedicated their lives to learning the nonsense lies the universities spew...the more attached they are to their beloved THEORIES...the more they get paid, privileged, promoted so...of course it's those of us who've always wondered/questioned...that the world refuses to even hea 

and so the answer you are looking for is what you would divide 3,959 by to get 6,225 (or multiply the latter by to get the former) so you divide 3959 by 6225 to find it
0.64 times 6225 equals 3959, and 3959 divided by 0.64 equals 6225
(all figures rounded..e.g., 6225.25 is only 6225 for ease/example here)
0.64 is almost two-thirds…so dave “drops” almost two-thirds of a mile over every mile he travels along the surface…if he travels 1.57 miles along the surface, he will drop ONE WHOLE MILE.

[@itstazaur]

@@traceyanarchist3553 seriously, mathematicians have problems with that? As soon as I read the question I knew how to calculate it, but from just an immediate estimation I guessed a drop of about half a mile per mile. Pretty basic. If they cant answer that, what are they ACTUALLY learning in university?

My parents did something similar with me. Having been tested twice for academic placement. Scoring 139 and 141, respectively, they ultimately chose advanced placement in academics, and electives with my peers. I thank them for their insight, knowing that socializing is very important, especially with your peers.

[@chriswesterfield2042]

139 and 141 are very good, but not genius level. But maybe you also have the determination level to go with it. High school is not a problem because, as a freshman, you could take advanced classes that seniors would take. Then you could probably graduate after your junior year. The academics would be more problematic in a public grade school though. The difficulty of the hardest classes is not very high. A private K-12 private school might be best. As a young girl you can learn socialization in homeroom, lunch, art and P.E. classes. For academic classes you could be in the older kid's classes. Also, nowadays, many seniors are taking college level classes at community colleges (if one is nearby). By visiting college level classes, you could enter a university at a sophomore level after high school graduation. You can also earn college credit without leaving your high school if the high school has a teacher qualified to teach such classes.

They seem that way because every person they've talked to for more than 5 minutes has figured out that they're sharper, and most of these other persons react poorly to it, which makes the super-sharp kid erect defense mechanisms to deal with it. Similarly, a strikingly attractive woman will be seen for little else, and most people will conclude that she is stuck up and full of herself because it's just the way she is...when, often, the general public's constant snap judgments made her that way in the first place. Vicious circle, of the ouroboros variety. But, at least the gorgeous woman gets ogled. No one likes a know-it-all except, ironically, other know-it-alls.

I personally believe the most intelligent men from history, apart from Leibniz, Euler, Gaus, Gottlieb, Newton, Archimedes, all the notable polymaths, are William Shakespeare, John Von Neumann and Nikola Tesla. Will all this athleticism and reputed social skill produce the next Leonardo Da Vinci? It’s hard to make that judgement from an early age, but I surmise that his success will have its limits if those around him don’t choose to leave him alone. He’s not black or female, I am guessing European ancestry. All factors of inception clash in his favor, but will his actions ever be forgotten? We won’t know until they’ve already happened, but someone decided it was important to interview him while he was still being cultivated. Maybe he should enter journalism and rework the infirmities of our culture, and the media which has obviously been having a few bad days lately. Lol? Good luck, boy. Grab some poon.

Maybe so, but who cares? Every IQ Test carries the same weight IMO. Worthless and not a very good indication of education, level of genius, or potential for success. It means you can read some patterns/know some number stuff. So what? Jaxon's IQ is meaningless unless he can apply his knowledge somewhere. He doesn't seem to be doing anything with his genius, so it's just useless. Take Terrence Tao, for example. He never took an IQ Test because of how useless an IQ actually is. Tao is one of the greatest mathematicians in the world currently, and a Fields Medalist. He is solving Prime Gaps with insane mathematical implications. At age 13, he won Gold at the Mathematics Olympiad. That's real achievement. Why isn't Jaxon going to MIT at the age of 13 like those 5 other kids currently doing it? If he has such a genius IQ it should be a cinch. It's because IQ does not matter whatsoever.

[@snowangel7980]

Lol I deleted the comment. When I was 8 or 9 I took an IQ test and a few aptitude tests. When the scores came back I was in the top 1.2% of those taking the IQ test. I was reading at a 12th grade level (I started reading when I was 3, and read chapter books in kindergarten so it makes sense from my perspective), writing at an 11th grade level, and was doing math at a 9th grade level. My school district had a gifted program which I was placed into. It wasn't really much of anything. Two days out of the week me and probably 6 or 7 other kids in the school would go to a separate classroom and we'd do things like those Red Herring puzzles and wrote creatively and solved logic problems. Supplement, but not replacement for just skipping grades. When I had the opportunity to skip I apparently declined, though I don't remember. This leads me to believe that the question was worded in such a way to be like "Oh do you want to move classes and leave your friends" rather than something straightforward because I remember essentially everything from when I was about two years old and on. The school district I was in really hated kids skipping grades. In middle school, I tried skipping math. The years before I got to 6th grade, they used to let kids walk the block from the middle school to the high school to take math classes there, but I wasn't allowed to. The excuse was that policy had changed because the kids who didn't get to walk to the high school were being excluded and made to feel like they were stupid. It was hotly debated by mine and a few of my friends parents but ultimately none of us were allowed to skip grades. "We should've done it when we were younger," apparently. The gifted program extended all the way through high school but it was still easy. I graduated with a 4.7 out of 4 GPA but I was so bored and done with school I didn't even bother to actually put effort into anything. I played soccer on a national level so if something like a test got in the way of that, oh well. I thought school was stupid and a waste of my time. The good news is that now I'm a mechanical engineering student and I have a lot more control over my schedule and pace. I should graduate having taken only 3/3.5 years to do it, and I should be published by then, too. I could've taken less time, maybe 2.5 years, but my school wasn't Title 1 so AP exams were upwards of $150 a year and I wasn't about to pay for 6 of them every spring. Now I'm building a satellite, designing a car, and getting ready to program a robot to wire and install solar panels. I spend about 16 hours a day just doing school work and research. It's stuff I enjoy doing and it's actually challenging so it doesn't feel like I've just spent all day doing math or whatever it ends up being. I wish middle school and high school were like this.

Ths is not the image of a typical gifted Child that we should have in mind . Being gifted is a multidimensional thing. That means that the gifted person is average or above in many areas (multi dimensional) and NOT NECESSARY that you distinguish in one specific area (one dimensional). This makes it difficult for the Parents of a gifted child to detect his intelligence - which is crucial for his development and well being - since they need to have a general idea of their kids abilties. Imagine a sea urchin. Αll his spines may be bigger than usual (multi dimensional) but we only notice if one spine is unsually big (one dimensional) and the other are normal. The first case describes a gifted person and the second case describes a talented one. So we must NOT have in mind that our kid should do something exeptional - like play piano at early age - in order to have a chance of being gifted. Jaxon is lucky beause he is having that one spine -being good with numbers- that is pretty observable, which is what mobilized his parents to talk to an expert and have him tested. In fact many gifted people remain in the shadow because their parents and teachers have this false idea of what being gifted is . This may shock you but 1 in every 50 children is considered gifted in Jasons level . So parents and teachers, please,inform your self about what Giftedness is and how to detect it. *Dont confuse Genius with Gifted , Genius is easier to detect because its' "spines" are WAAAY bigger. **Sorry for my English ***Thanks for reading

One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was from a JPL engineer I had the good luck to do a project for. He said "Scientists think in terms of black and white, right or wrong, open or shut. Engineers think in terms of 'how can we make this somehow work' and don't lose sleep over the significances on paper when those stop mattering.' In life, mind the science but live like an engineer."

I'm glad he gets to hang out with his peers. :) I think it's sad when kids are made to grow up fast just because they are intelligent. They have time to be grown-ups later. You're only a kid once and you can't go back.

I took an IQ test in the 1st grade and was granted permission to skip the 2nd grade, but my dad kept me in the same grade. I was initially very upset, but looking back and listening to these parents, it was a sensible decision. Most prodigies are so far ahead of their peers , that they cannot relate to them and kids can be cruel. Sending me to go with kids 2 years older (at that age) could have been traumatic for me. RIP Dad!

In first grade all they taught us was the alphabet and classes were only half the day

Yes, just let him be a kid. Childhood is the part in one's life that one cannot go back to.

One issue I have with the "we never taught him any of that" is, how would a 2 year old child even know the words for trillion, quadrillion, etc without having been hearing them from somewhere?

Marvelous kid, great parents.
