  • Funny how when she's on a liberal show the comments become racist.

  • Why did they make her dress up in graduation garb ??

  • Comment removed

  • Why is she dressed in a cap and gown for crying out loud

  • We dumb races should mate with the smart races and ruin it for them.

  • She is Iranian - european. Iranians are persians, not arabs.

  • She's only more proof of the unusually high intelligence of people who are half-white and half-arab. Another example is Michael Atiyah, one of the 20th century's most influential mathematicians. Also, I just found out that Shakira is half white and half arab and has a very high IQ. This can't be a coincidence. There must be something about combining white and arab genes that results in high intelligence. Maybe that's why ashkenazi jews are so smart, they have both israeli and european ancestry.

  • My sister is half arabic and white...She's no genious. I would think early recognition and a supportive atmosphere among other things when raising a genius. They aren't born smart they become smart faster than most because of higher cognitive and reading skills. But my opinion is the same as as yours unfounded but I'll be biased in saying my opinion makes more sense! I wouldn't peddle opinions as fact though.

  • "A supportive atmosphere" is exactly right! That's the common thread in all these stories. There are ultra high IQ people out there who didn't have supportive adults around when they were kids, and they're still smart, but they tend to be lost in a world of dunces. Academia won't have them because academia only takes people who tow the party line, people who have gone through certain steps, first. Even Einstein was forced to study for exams to get a phd before he was allowed to teach. Ridiculous

  • Why would you pursue a PhD in applied math if your goal was to play the clarinet in an orchestra. This girl is a few can short of a six-pack, if you know what I mean.

  • Isn't she allowed to pursue both?!

    Obviously she can get a blackbelt in martial arts, play clarinet, get her PHD and teach university students in a short time.

    Maybe that's why she's where she is and you are with your 6packs :)

  • Sure, she's ALLOWED to pursue anything she wants, but it doesn't mean that it is a good idea. Listen to her in this video. She wants to become a pro clarinet player, but then goes to get her PhD in math. I'm sorry, but the two don't add up. This video was about 5 years ago. I wonder how the professional clarinet thing is going for her. That's what I thought.

  • People have works and hobbies. Her work, including teaching job is in applied math and her hobby is playing Calrinet. Obviously she doesn't want playing Clarinet to become her main way of making the living. Not many can make nice living playing clarinet, plus that doesn't have the mental challenge people like her desire to have.

  • No, she was 14 at the time of this interview. She wanted to be a clarinetist. It didn't make any sense for her to get a PhD in math other than that's what her parent's wanted her to do. At 14, she shows what is a normal lack of foresight for her career. Again, I ask you , how is her career in being a pro-clarinet player going? Like most people she will realize that she will have to focus on one thing OR the other.

  • What if our interest in learning had nothing to do with our careers?

    Leonardo Da Vinci, Isaac Newton, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Abu Rayhan al-Biruni.

    However, our current educational institutions are violent machines that encourage specialisation and didactic learning. Education has become a means to an end.

    'm015094' and, to a lesser extent, 'Hesam0000' are products of this machine.

    "The earth has become small, and on it hops the last man, who makes everything small." (Nietzsche)

  • You are wrong. I am fully in favor of the pursuit of happiness - whatever that may be. Bottom line is that the comments came from a 14-year old that didn't know any better. It would be like me saying that I want to be a doctor and then spending all of my time training for the Olympics. I believe that people can pursue a vast amount of different interests, but some are so time consuming that it becomes impracticle to do so.

  • So she can have a degree to fall back on if the clarinet business doesn't work out.
