Fascinating, I have an child who is autistic and he's fascinated by explosives and the science behind them. This talk is truly about parenting.

It is incredibly mind levelling to think for many years that your kid is gifted, only to finally have him around other similar kids and realise your kid is AVERAGE and he starts making excuses for why he didn't excel or placed in the top twenty. Now that you saw it, you have to let him down easy, and run the risk of him blaming you later for "not believing in him". So you spent ten plus years encouraging him and doing what he says he likes, to find at sixteen that he spends al his time with video games and has no real interest in all those OTHER things, BUUUUUUUTTTT because you encourage him and helped him so much HE IS more advanced than the rest, which makes him think he is in fact "gifted" which makes him not make much of an effort to do better or more in school, because he can still draw circles around MOST normal teachers who as we learned are so ill educated. Teachers. after all, do the bare minimum. If you were to ask a teacher how many books or further learning or updating on his or her field they have done in the past YEAR, you would find out they haven't read ANYTHING at all; and in fact they spend the evenings like most of the rest of humanity, watching tv or netflix. I have dated a few primary school teachers, and some high school teachers, and it pains me to say it but they are about the most ill read and uneducated people I've have ever met. Plus they are petty as shit about small offences and take it out on the kids if the parents offend them somehow. Teachers also know the basically cannot be fired because of the teachers' union that protects them like the vatican protects child molester priests, they will not lose their jobs, they will be "re-assigned" to other work, like office work.

Taylor didn't seem to worry about handling the nuclear items at all without gloves and special protective clothing. Just wondering if it has affected his health at all? Very interesting talk Tom. Thank you.

This is a bit shocking. I wrote an e-book about this very same thing -- 3 years prior to this book having been written -- and prior to that, talked at length about this content online in forums and on Facebook. Very same things he makes note of, almost verbatum. On another note, my stepson is a gifted kid but sadly, his parents are inept and not the least bit encouraging.

Had he opposite experience, parents who were convinced his kid was EXTREMELY gifted.

Taylor Wilson was cheating in his talk. The molten salt reactor is not his invention as he insists. Tom Clyes is responsible of his deeds.

First of all I'm not sure who you are or if you've also done great things but I'm willing to hazard a guess that you weren't building nuclear reactors in your garage between 12 and 14...the boy is still among the top end of the gifted spectrum. Secondly I probably would have said the same thing until I read Isaacson's "Innovators". Even if Taylor didn't build the idea from scratch he managed to build on an idea that was not properly adopted for various reasons not least of which being some lobbyist bs regarding corrosion which in the grand scheme of things is only a very small engineering problem irrelevant compared to what is implemented...It is simply a better design. So even if the boy were only taking credit (and I'm not saying he is) your premise would be null and void because having a poster boy behind it would take this idea off the dusty shelf of forgotten ideas and into the common general public notoriety so that we can ask our politicians "Why the hell are we not doing that?" Food for thought right? Cheers Masayuki :)

The original poster has a point, basically this kid did anything any other kid could have done if they would have researched the free information that's available all online today. But instead most kids nowadays want to worry about global warming and who can virtue signal the hardest and the most and who's racist and who's sexist and who wants to be a communist. We live in a day and age were all of human history and knowledge is found on the internet for free. That's never been available up until now and what did these kids choose to Research and look up? Bulshit! Complete utter fucking bullshit! I will acknowledge though that this kid had the Essence found within him to actually make something of himself and also to try and make life better for everybody. Even though most people nowadays probably don't deserve that
