I feel like a pathetic chud like most people here but I want to know. What exactly makes someone as a kid become a prodigy? Like what is the steps for someone to take to make a kid get a phd by the time they’re 15 and have them graduated high school by the time they are 8. Is it purely discipline forced by parents, money, or the kid was legitimately interested in whatever the fuck subject at age 3 the parents decided to give all in to their interest and try to teach them?
>>34607267Most likely a combination of several factors, but I think it's mostly natural talent.You can have prodigies be born in terrible conditions, and you can have someone with access to everything being ordinary.I think it is natural talent + motivation + ambition in most cases. Having access to at least some form of formal education also helps to kickstart things.
asperger’s. or authoritarian parenting. that works too, i guess.
In most cases it's autistic pattern recognition and autistic super-retentive memory. This makes them appear genuinely talented for their ages but the benefits peter out as they hit 18 and older since just having a good memory doesn't cut it anymore
>>34607267OCD used constructively. Kid gets obsessed with a thing, practices all day just because he craves to, and boom. He's ahead of the 99% of adults who only gave it a half-assed try....but yeah sometimes it is a selfish parent forcing the kid to practice all day so they can use him as a trophy.
Look up László Polgár.
They have helpful parents who invest in their children and recognize their talents early.Being rich helps the odds, but it isn't absolutely necessary.
>>34607267simple. child prodigies have been doing the thing theyre good at since they were kids. by the time they reach age 6 theyve played for 10,000 hours by now. kids, unlike adults, dont hvae to pay rent so they can literally just do that one thing for 16 hours a day. look up videos of hikaru nakamura and magnus carlsen and youll see videos of them playing chess since they were toddlers. it rarely has anything to do with genetics. actual 200 iq people rarely achieve anything of worth
as a child that was considered a prodigy, there are two factors: genetics and stimulation. if you got the right genes and you are not stimulated, then they are just wasted. you require that stimulation, just like those chess players that had relatives or family friends that encouraged the chess path. i am a prodigy because i can learn anything almost instantly, but i rarely feel the motivation to learn stuff anymore and prefer to drink alcohol or solve problems for other people.prodigies can be musicians, mathematicians, physicists... or they can be the random person you find working as a cashier. it all depends on the luck you get, having good parents and stimulation.
>>34607267good genes and mozart tier parenting
>>34607959Are you a cashier now?
>>34607267morally dubious parenting.
>>34607267A lot of it is genetics. At the very least a prodigy will need an exceptionally good memory, to an extent which tends to be associated with certain kinds of high-functioning autism, and to be unusually logical (ditto). They also need exceptionally pushy parents. I think they often are very interested and enthusiastic about their subject, in an autistic hyperfocus kind of way, but they still need opportunities and a LOT of encouragement and support.
Genes. Or more abstractly, luck. Combined with being above the poverty line in a first world country/at least upper middle class in a developing country. In other words, we all need to kill ourselves NOW
>>34608212Killing ourselves won't do anything good, darling
>>34607267Idk but you see those babies on shows, who know all the presidents or whatever. That is a trick any baby can learn.
>>34608215How did you know I was a femanon
>>34608383Intuition.
>>34608383women always use their kids strategically for random nonsense.
>>34611086Where did she mention kids?
>>34607267if there's ever a need for them, the government already knows where they are.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JavPI3Iw7LE&ra=m
