omg why do i feel like hitting his daddy in the face?? dang he should be remembering whats on the back of pokemon cards not pi ahe doesnt want to do that goodness!!!! TAKE HIM TO CHUCKIE CHEESE NOW!
This is just a demonstration of ability for a TV show. The kid is learning plenty of interesting things. He is at University. His studies to date have included Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Maths, Economics and Computer Programming...all quite "worth while" things to know. Learning these digits of Pi would not have taken long. However, it does show memory capacity in an effective way.
The kid is clever, the man is not. Why not get him to learn something worth wild like how to grow crop, philosophy making a great burger ANYTHING ELSE!
@GregoryBone Nigger, youre just mad because your people have never built or invented anything important,lol. You cant even feed yourselves. Youre so weak and stupid, all youre good for is being slaves.

There are a lot of wrong assumptions in your comment. Firstly, this "asian kid" has not been "imported". He is the natural son of his father (in the video above) and his mother (not in the video above). He is half Malay and half Irish. So, he is Eurasian, not Asian. Whilst this boy shows mathematical skills, you cannot assume, as you have, that all Asian kids do. A calculator wouldn't be able to do University Science studies, as he does, by the way.
2 things about this, 1 it is so stereotypical that he's Asian :P and 2 what would happen if someone had a fully photographic memory and just looked at it? they would win surely?
@TheT4Gz who cares if he's Asian they happen to be very high on the bell curve of iq 'race and intelligence' there also happens to be 1.45 billion people in china and 134 million people in japan so the likelihood of him being of those particular Asian descents is actually rather high, 2 look it up completely eidetic memory doesn't exist or it hasn't be proven i'll now quote wiki "no one claiming to have long-term eidetic memory has been able to prove this in scientific tests."
That film crew would have noticed any problems with the set up. He most certainly could not be cheating with several people watching him closely and filming him the whole time. It is just dumb and paranoid to think so. In fact, looking at the matter coolly, I do wonder whether you are just joking in your assertion - because I don't see how anyone could seriously possibly make such an assertion. That you have, suggests it is just a big joke.
At first I thought you were just being dumb: forgive me, I now see you are actually paranoid. So, now, you are constructing a scenario in which he is pretending to be hesitant, just to convince us he is unaided? Furthermore, you think that this so called "sneakiness" can overcome physics itself? You have been watching too much cheap sci-fi. Nothing and no-one can overcome the limitations of physics, no matter how "sneaky" they are. One more point: he was watched by an entire film crew.
So, you are calling an eight year old boy a "sneaky motherfucker" on the basis of your own complete failure to understand the physics of optics? Boy are you dumb. The mirror is too far for him to read any character reflected in it, since the image would appear as far into the image as the real object is from the surface. Also the angle of reflection, would mean that he couldn't even see any reflection anyway. What you are proposing is a physical impossibility...so stop cursing people.
@originalmotovlogger cause, he's too sneaky for that. If he read it all perfectly everyone would be on to him. This way he leaves an element of doubt. He is one sneaky motherfucker...
Your comment proves one thing: that you don't do any research before you comment. This boy, Ainan Cawley (google his name), has done plenty to show intelligence. He is the youngest in the world to pass O level, and was at a tertiary College at 8 years old studying Chemistry. He also co-authored two scientific papers based on research he contributed to at the age of 8. Try finding a dumb kid who can do that.
that doesn't prove anything, anyone can memorize a bunch of digits and spit them back out, true intelligence, to me, is measured by the ability to use information that you learn in solving problems.
im sorry but he made a mistake it waz 3.1415892828273636353553662626262662626262626262663563636535480039847646467gfggfhdhdggf9393929gvhehfvsnsmeu3u
It is funny that you so quickly see a lack of intelligence in other people. Sometimes, it is clear, you underestimate people.
I have an interest in the phenomenon of prodigy. I also take a particular dislike to racism and ignorance when I stumble across it - so, of course, I feel a need to comment on such matters. The family are not here to defend themselves, so it is fair that I should step in and do so. It is not good citizenship to stand idly by and watch such behaviour.
Please look up the word "racist", for that is what you are. The child does not need "speech lessons"...he is talking with his NATIVE ACCENT. His speech is typical of where he comes from. You mocking it is racism.
As for "dumb ass" father, I rather suspect he is much brighter than you. He is a Cambridge University graduate, and is presently working as a psychological researcher. In other words, he is a research scientist. Not too many "dumb asses" doing that for a living.
@MrTrueGenius Are you stalking this family? Why do you feel the need to defend them? Battling against youtube trolls just shows your lack of intelligence and keeps the fire burning.
500 the only way you would get me to be able to do that is to pay me and let me sing it like 10 of my favorite songs. The fact he could do it off the bat was very impressive. Also he was cute in a awww kinda way
You are getting very boring Libb Thims/Sadi Carnot/Wavesmikey (wikipedia)/HumanChemistry101.
Has it not occurred to you that I share the same interest in this video and your site, as Cawley does? Clearly, he is reading what I write. I am reading what he writes. We are looking in the same places. So there is cross infection of thought.
I also read many other people's work. That doesn't make me into them, either...even if I agree with what they write, as I do with him.
I started a new facebook account, with the email ccesar890@yahoo.com, if you add me ill like your pics and posts. But please like my pics and posts also. I am 16 by the way.
As for grades...again you are, as usual, misrepresenting the issue. As you well know, from my other comments, Ainan got a C in his first O level exam at the age of 7 years and 1 month because HE HAD STUDIED THE WRONG SYLLABUS. No-one gets an A if they study the wrong syllabus. There was an error in communication with the exam centre and a misunderstanding arose.
Ainan has since got many As in Chemistry and other subjects at various levels. He has a long list of achievements
I feel I should explain the admin's "crackpot" remark. It was clear he thought you a crackpot because of the views you were expressing on Wikipedia. The discussion was about whether to permanently ban you from altering Wikipedia because you had been compulsively altering articles in ways which the admins considered were corrupting or vandalizing articles. They believed that your information was demonstrably wrong, or "crackpot". They believed you were causing damage to WP.
Whilst we are on the subject: I came across a Wikipedia administrator thread some while ago, in which you were discussed as Sadi Carnot, your alias, and Libb Thims, your real name. One of the administrators referred to you as a "crackpot". Now, does that mean you are going to accuse him of being MrTrueGenius as well? It is very simple, Libb - a lot of people instinctively characterize some of the things you do or say, as "mad" seeming. That does not make them the same person.
Firstly, that two people should conclude that you seem mad, at times, is hardly proof that they are the same person - though it is strongly suggestive that you need to start focussing a little more on reality. No-one has a monopoly on the word "mad" and its use in a sentence. You should note that the common factor between the two remarks is that they are about you - and not written by a single author, as you believe.
Valentine Cawley (Email comment): “It does seem rather mad, actually” (Dec 2011)
MrTrueGenius (YouTube comment): “You are coming across as a bit mad, I am afraid” (Oct 2011)
Conclusion: MrTrueGenius is the guy in the above video, lying to us about not being the guy in the above video. Why exactly he’s trying so hard to panhandle his son off as the world’s greatest chemistry prodigy, when he gets “C” grades in chemistry, I’m sure I don’t know?
@flowersflame Congratulations, you have just typed the world's most unintelligable sentence. My IQ drastically lowered after reading your first 8 words, then i almost had a seizure as my eyes rolled over all your exclamation marks. And then i saw that 22 people liked your comment and my faith in humanity crumbled and fizzled away.
@flowersflame Erm, thanks for explaining that. However, it has absolutely nothing to do with my reply to your first comment which you clearly typed out by bashing your head against your keyboard in a frenzied stupor. Have a nice day.
@TheHowks lol i did send 2 comments !! coz it was 2 long n couldnt fit. i was just wondering why u said"unintelligible" so i just talk back with the tittle, telling the different of intelligence and memory skill.:P
@flowersflame Pay attention, clearly you are a bit slow. My first comment merely remarked about how poorly you constructed your sentence. I didn't ask for an explanation about the video, i'm not confused about the 'tittle' or as us normal people call it: 'title'. In short, i think you need to shut your youtube account down and ask your English teacher at school for extra lessons. You can start with punctuation and then move onto spelling. You're welcome.
@TheHowks My apologize for misunderstanding. However, what is wrong with a little error? No body is perfect. Pardon me, but you take things too seriously.
Yes, that would have been amazing. However, there is still much to be learnt, even now.
Thank you for your well wishes. Ainan needs someone to fight for him. He is a sweet, somewhat shy boy, with much to offer. Some people, however, can be a challenge, in their reaction to him. He doesn't really need that. No-one does.
In the early days, Ainan's family were very cut off from academe, unlike Terry Tao's parents. So Tao's parents had ready access to the right kind of expert and psychologist, they did not. That is a pity from a scientific point of view. However, they are remedying the situation now, and there are active studies in progress.
@MrTrueGenius It's a pity indeed, a kid talking @ 2 weeks old would have been an amazing specimen to study. Anyway I don't know what else to say, good luck fighting for Ainan, whoever you are.
Some of Ainan's attributes have been referenced in some academic articles. He is presently both part of and contributing to a research project on one of his abilities. It will give rise to a publication in the coming year, most probably. There are actually news articles about a discovery he made called Velociperception. Google it. He made the discovery when he was 8, and researched it with his father, resulting in an article about it, revealing their findings. It is a new perception
I am personally very sure of Ainan's early childhood achievements, though I am not going to reveal how, for that would be too much of a clue as to who I am. I have no doubt about them whatsoever.
I know of no article in which the child development specialist was interviewed. I see no reason why there should be one, since he was trying to sell something to the family and they weren't interested.
Ainan was not pushed to study Chemistry. Never. He got a C in his first O level exam because he had inadvertently studied the wrong syllabus. There were too many differences in requirements between the syllabus studied and the one taken, to allow any real possibility of a higher grade. There was some misunderstanding over which exams were actually offered by the British Council, so the wrong one was prepared for.
Anyway, he enjoyed the experience, learnt from it and grew by it.
Again, you address your comment to Valentine. That is another. However, I shall answer for myself.
You are clearly unfamiliar with the many accounts of early speech from the parents of gifted children. There is a large collection of such accounts, from all over the world, in the comments on the father's blog. There are parents who witnessed speech at 6 weeks, 8 weeks and so on. With this background of widespread early speech in gifted kids, is 2 weeks really surprising? Not at all.
@MrTrueGenius Again, POST LINKS. Testimonies from parents do not constitute airtight proof, it's better if the evidence comes from professionals. For example, prodigy Terry Tao had articles written about him by psychologists and other specialists, all of whom confirmed his prodigious abilities e.g. learning to read by himself at 2. Ainan's feats are actually more amazing than Terry's so shouldn't there be articles written about him by third parties (i.e. experts on giftedness, psychologists) ?
I sense that you are limited in understanding the difference between your disbelief and another's truth state. Just because you don't believe something, that doesn't mean that someone else is lying. It just means you don't believe something. Your disbelief is not proof of another's lie. It is not even evidence of it. In fact, your disbelief only speaks about you and your character. It says nothing about the person you inflict the disbelief on. You credit your disbelief too much.
If I told you I saw a pig sprout wings and fly, you wouldn't merely characterize me as someone making a statement you happen to disbelieve, you'd think I was a liar (and rightly so). Two-week old kids don't talk, Valentine. You know that as much as I do, you chubby, pug-nosed liar, you. Oops, there I go again with the personal attacks, please ignore.
Again, there are no bounds to your ignorance. Ainan chose Chemistry for himself. His parents never even introduced him to it. He discovered it on the Internet for himself. Furthermore, his parents have not pigeonholed him. He has been following a broadly based education in addition to his Chemistry interest. As I have noted, he has qualifications in Economics, Maths, Biology, Physics and Chemistry, and university level computer programming courses. His education continues broadly.
Contrary to your belief - again unfounded and unwarranted - that the father has lied to the media - it is the Singaporean media who lied about his family, on several occasions, for propagandist ends. That should be no surprise if you know anything about the nature of Singapore.
Since you insist on repeating this libel about the father - why don't you reveal your true identity, so that the father might pursue suitable legal redress against you?
Again, you call the father a liar, without any evidence except your own disbelief. The boy's early speech was witnessed by many people in a large extended family. There is no doubt about it. Furthermore, the boy's early movement (crawling at four months) was witnessed a child development specialist. All of these attributes have been witnessed. They are not "lies" as you insist.
If you read the father's blog it is clear that he has been straightforward with the media, at all times.
@MrTrueGenius You claim not to be his father but you have an unusually intimate knowledge of his life and family. Did you yourself witness Ainan's superhuman childhood feats ? And is there any media article containing a confirmation by the child development specialist who witnessed Ainan crawling (and likely also talking) at four months ? If so then post the URL because that would prove I'm completely wrong and warrant an apology on my part
Again, the way you characterize Alia Sabur is unfair and shows a lack of understanding and insight (about which we should not be surprised). Alia Sabur is clearly still searching for the subject in which she will make a contribution. She is EXPLORING. She is not an "ex-prodigy"...she will always have that as part of her life story. When she finds what she truly loves, I am sure she will make interesting headway with it and contributions to it. She is a bright girl, quite clearly.
@MrTrueGenius So when you push Ainan to do chemistry at such a ridiculously young age, how do you know he isn't still EXPLORING ? You gave him no time to EXPLORE and find out what he really wants, instead you've pigeonholed him into chemistry. This is a big reason why prodigies flame out and often end up leaving their original field of study, because they were pushed into dedicating their life to a subject at an inappropriately young age, which they then later realized was not their true calling
@MrTrueGenius You're wrong. Alia Sabur is an EX-PRODIGY, because right now she is the same age as her classmates in law school. She used to be a prodigy, but now she isn't. Hence the term ex-prodigy. And I can bet you she won't make much of a contribution in law, she'll just be another average, run-of-the-mill lawyer. This is the common (with exceptions of course) outcome for child prodigies.
Your comments about Alia Sabur even stooped to personal attacks. At one point you called her a "frump". How is denigrating someone's personal appearance contributing to an understanding of prodigy? It is just offensive and immature of you to do so.
By the way, by the time Ainan's parents were seeking University admission for him, he was already familiar with the A level syllabus at home - so he was more prepared than you imagine. Again, not pushy...just supportive and proactive.
@MrTrueGenius Lol okay you're right on that one, I do recall referring to her as a frump, and I admit that was mean and had nothing to do with her achievements and potential. But I also gave some objective criticism of her which I wholeheartedly stand by.
I note that you are calling the boy's father a liar about matters he has never even spoken of. That is quite a comprehensive, and somewhat bizarre, accusation - which could, of course, be filed under "libel".
If you read the father's blog and other information available, it becomes clear that Ainan's are not pushy, just supportive. Ainan never does anything that he doesn't want to do - and his parents have also worked hard to ensure an appropriate level of stimulation - no more.
@MrTrueGenius I'm calling you a liar, because you've lied to the media several times about your son. And not just tiny lies, I'm talking big ones, whoppers (as we americans like to call them), implausible ones, like Ainan talking when he was only 2 WEEKS OLD. Come on, just how stupid do you think people are ?
I don't know what makes you think that I am the boy's father. But, oh well, I can see I won't be able to change your "mind".
Anyway, Ainan has achieved a lot more than that first O level. He has qualifications in Economics, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Maths and studies in Computer Programming at University level. He is doing just fine. By the way, that O level you scoff at, made him the youngest child ever to pass that exam, in history - but heh that means nothing to you.
It doesn't matter that he was the youngest, cos he got a C. This proves he was pushed, it didn't matter to you that he was too young and under-qualified & would probably not make a good grade, all that mattered to you is that he took the exam at a very young age so that you could get a lot of media publicity and set a world record if he passed (even barely). If you really cared about Ainan, waiting a few years until he was prepared would take precedence over setting a world record
As for your laughable statement that child prodigies don't amount to anything as adults, I refer you to: Pablo Picasso, Mozart, Norbert Wiener, John von Neumann, Piaget etc. Obvious failures all, in your deluded world. There are numerous examples of prodigies who became renowned adult geniuses. It says a lot about how distorted your views are, that you ignore them, in your "thinking".
@MrTrueGenius For every one of those successful prodigies, there are dozens who achieved nothing of value. They are the exception, not the rule. If you've studied prodigies as much as I have, you'd understand. And yes, I did say some things about Alia Sabur, and I was right. After all the hype about her getting a math degree at 14 she switched fields to materials science and attended a third-rate school (Drexel), dropped out without getting a phd, and is now in law school. Typical ex-prodigy
It is very disturbing to discover that you have been posting hate comments about prodigies all over the Internet. I noted your hostile remarks about Alia Sabur, for instance. You clearly have deep psychological problems. Your comments suggest that you feel inadequate about your own intellectual capacities and feel a need to strike out at people demonstrably superior to yourself. How sad you are.
What is very clear is that you have no understanding of prodigies at all.
As for your laughable view of Ainan's dad...a little googling soon reveals an accomplished life. He has been a writer, a magazine founder and editor, a physicist, a performance artist whose work was COVERED ON CNN, REUTERS AND NBC news...as well as an actor, who is according to his IMDB, now starring in a Hollywood/Malaysian co-production film to be released in a year or two. I also note that he has had global coverage for some of his scientific work. He has plenty of fame himself.
@MrTrueGenius first of all, you're not fooling anyone with that moniker, I know that's you, Valentine. Ainan earned a C in chemistry O Level at 7. Only a pushy parent would insist his 7 year old enter university after earning only a C, which is BARELY a passing grade. He was clearly not adequately prepared. What are his grades like now at HELP University? On second thoughts, don't even answer, I know you'll lie. Good luck, I hope you're able to earn as much publicity as possible out of your son.
I have seen your comments on these videos before. They are always bitter, twisted, and a bit mad. You obviously are very jealous of the Cawley family, from the way you write.
Let us correct some of your misconceptions. Firstly, prodigies are almost NEVER pushed. They push the parents. This is basic and fundamental to the situation - about which you know nothing. Secondly, IQ correlates about 0.8 between parent and child. Thus, the parents have similar abilities to the child!
Congrats Ainan, you earned your dad some fame! And congrats Valentine, all the hothousing and pushing you put your kid through has finally paid off. Hope you had fun robbing him of his childhood..
Wow, a dad forcing his kid to waste time doing something as USELESS as memorizing digits of pi, just so the dad can get some fame. Ainan's dad never achieved fame or attention for his own abilities, and now is trying to use his kid as a means to achieving glory.
The truth is that child prodigies are usually (but not always) the product of extremely pushy parents and they rarely achieve anything of value as adults. Ever heard of Michael Kearney, Jay Luo, Adragon DeMello or Masoud Karkehabadi?
Yes, I can see it now. The Dad being a Cambridge Natural Sciences graduate makes him "most stupid" doesn't it? The Dad being a psychological researcher by trade, makes him "most stupid" too? The Dad having written several books, also makes him "most stupid" does it? The Dad being a patent holder, further enhances his "most stupid" title?
Nothing that challenges the mind of a child is "sad and pointless". What is sad is you not seeing the value of offering a challenge to a child.
Well spotted. He is half Malay and half Irish...sharp of you to see the Malay features in the mix (or hear the Malay sounding accent, anyway).
He was born in Singapore, but now lives in, you guessed it, Malaysia. Though at the time of this video, he was still in Singapore. His father is the Caucasian.
I hate how people consider this "clever or intelligent, so what the kid knows digits of pie, so what, no wonder our education system is based upon such stupid ideas, do you see this kid understanding basic philosophy, talented artists, or even becoming a poet, people get all worked up over math and science that it becomes the only thing people base intelligence off of

There are a lot of wrong assumptions in your comment. Firstly, this "asian kid" has not been "imported". He is the natural son of his father (in the video above) and his mother (not in the video above). He is half Malay and half Irish. So, he is Eurasian, not Asian. Whilst this boy shows mathematical skills, you cannot assume, as you have, that all Asian kids do. A calculator wouldn't be able to do University Science studies, as he does, by the way.

That film crew would have noticed any problems with the set up. He most certainly could not be cheating with several people watching him closely and filming him the whole time. It is just dumb and paranoid to think so. In fact, looking at the matter coolly, I do wonder whether you are just joking in your assertion - because I don't see how anyone could seriously possibly make such an assertion. That you have, suggests it is just a big joke.

At first I thought you were just being dumb: forgive me, I now see you are actually paranoid. So, now, you are constructing a scenario in which he is pretending to be hesitant, just to convince us he is unaided? Furthermore, you think that this so called "sneakiness" can overcome physics itself? You have been watching too much cheap sci-fi. Nothing and no-one can overcome the limitations of physics, no matter how "sneaky" they are. One more point: he was watched by an entire film crew.

So, you are calling an eight year old boy a "sneaky motherfucker" on the basis of your own complete failure to understand the physics of optics? Boy are you dumb. The mirror is too far for him to read any character reflected in it, since the image would appear as far into the image as the real object is from the surface. Also the angle of reflection, would mean that he couldn't even see any reflection anyway. What you are proposing is a physical impossibility...so stop cursing people.

Your comment proves one thing: that you don't do any research before you comment. This boy, Ainan Cawley (google his name), has done plenty to show intelligence. He is the youngest in the world to pass O level, and was at a tertiary College at 8 years old studying Chemistry. He also co-authored two scientific papers based on research he contributed to at the age of 8. Try finding a dumb kid who can do that.

No-one gets an A if they study the wrong syllabus. There was an error in communication with the exam centre and a misunderstanding arose.
Ainan has since got many As in Chemistry and other subjects at various levels. He has a long list of achievements

I feel I should explain the admin's "crackpot" remark. It was clear he thought you a crackpot because of the views you were expressing on Wikipedia.

They believed that your information was demonstrably wrong, or "crackpot". They believed you were causing damage to WP.

@HumanChemistry101
Whilst we are on the subject: I came across a Wikipedia administrator thread some while ago, in which you were discussed as Sadi Carnot, your alias, and Libb Thims, your real name. One of the administrators referred to you as a "crackpot". Now, does that mean you are going to accuse him of being MrTrueGenius as well? It is very simple, Libb - a lot of people instinctively characterize some of the things you do or say, as "mad" seeming. That does not make them the same person.
MrTrueGenius 1 month ago
@HumanChemistry101
Hilariously inadequate reasoning, dear boy.
Firstly, that two people should conclude that you seem mad, at times, is hardly proof that they are the same person - though it is strongly suggestive that you need to start focussing a little more on reality. No-one has a monopoly on the word "mad" and its use in a sentence. You should note that the common factor between the two remarks is that they are about you - and not written by a single author, as you believe.
MrTrueGenius 1 month ago
Facts:
Valentine Cawley (Email comment): “It does seem rather mad, actually” (Dec 2011)
MrTrueGenius (YouTube comment): “You are coming across as a bit mad, I am afraid” (Oct 2011)
Conclusion: MrTrueGenius is the guy in the above video, lying to us about not being the guy in the above video. Why exactly he’s trying so hard to panhandle his son off as the world’s greatest chemistry prodigy, when he gets “C” grades in chemistry, I’m sure I don’t know?

In the early days, Ainan's family were very cut off from academe, unlike Terry Tao's parents. So Tao's parents had ready access to the right kind of expert and psychologist, they did not. That is a pity from a scientific point of view. However, they are remedying the situation now, and there are active studies in progress.

Some of Ainan's attributes have been referenced in some academic articles. He is presently both part of and contributing to a research project on one of his abilities. It will give rise to a publication in the coming year, most probably. There are actually news articles about a discovery he made called Velociperception. Google it. He made the discovery when he was 8, and researched it with his father, resulting in an article about it, revealing their findings. It is a new perception
MrTrueGenius 1 month ago

I am personally very sure of Ainan's early childhood achievements, though I am not going to reveal how, for that would be too much of a clue as to who I am. I have no doubt about them whatsoever.
I know of no article in which the child development specialist was interviewed. I see no reason why there should be one, since he was trying to sell something to the family and they weren't interested.
MrTrueGenius 1 month ago
@Angela1894
Ainan was not pushed to study Chemistry. Never. He got a C in his first O level exam because he had inadvertently studied the wrong syllabus. There were too many differences in requirements between the syllabus studied and the one taken, to allow any real possibility of a higher grade. There was some misunderstanding over which exams were actually offered by the British Council, so the wrong one was prepared for.
Anyway, he enjoyed the experience, learnt from it and grew by it.
MrTrueGenius 1 month ago
@Angela1894
Again, you address your comment to Valentine. That is another. However, I shall answer for myself.
You are clearly unfamiliar with the many accounts of early speech from the parents of gifted children. There is a large collection of such accounts, from all over the world, in the comments on the father's blog. There are parents who witnessed speech at 6 weeks, 8 weeks and so on. With this background of widespread early speech in gifted kids, is 2 weeks really surprising? Not at all.
MrTrueGenius 1 month ago
@MrTrueGenius Again, POST LINKS. Testimonies from parents do not constitute airtight proof, it's better if the evidence comes from professionals. For example, prodigy Terry Tao had articles written about him by psychologists and other specialists, all of whom confirmed his prodigious abilities e.g. learning to read by himself at 2. Ainan's feats are actually more amazing than Terry's so shouldn't there be articles written about him by third parties (i.e. experts on giftedness, psychologists) ?

I sense that you are limited in understanding the difference between your disbelief and another's truth state. Just because you don't believe something, that doesn't mean that someone else is lying.

It says nothing about the person you inflict the disbelief on. You credit your disbelief too much.

Again, there are no bounds to your ignorance. Ainan chose Chemistry for himself. His parents never even introduced him to it. He discovered it on the Internet for himself.

As I have noted, he has qualifications in Economics, Maths, Biology, Physics and Chemistry, and university level computer programming courses. His education continues broadly.

Contrary to your belief - again unfounded and unwarranted - that the father has lied to the media - it is the Singaporean media who lied about his family, on several occasions, for propagandist ends. That should be no surprise if you know anything about the nature of Singapore.

Again, you call the father a liar, without any evidence except your own disbelief. The boy's early speech was witnessed by many people in a large extended family. There is no doubt about it. Furthermore, the boy's early movement (crawling at four months) was witnessed a child development specialist. All of these attributes have been witnessed. They are not "lies" as you insist.
If you read the father's blog it is clear that he has been straightforward with the media, at all times.

If so then post the URL because that would prove I'm completely wrong and warrant an apology on my part

Again, the way you characterize Alia Sabur is unfair and shows a lack of understanding and insight (about which we should not be surprised). Alia Sabur is clearly still searching for the subject in which she will make a contribution. She is EXPLORING. She is not an "ex-prodigy"...she will always have that as part of her life story. When she finds what she truly loves, I am sure she will make interesting headway with it and contributions to it. She is a bright girl, quite clearly.
MrTrueGenius 1 month ago
@MrTrueGenius So when you push Ainan to do chemistry at such a ridiculously young age, how do you know he isn't still EXPLORING ? You gave him no time to EXPLORE and find out what he really wants, instead you've pigeonholed him into chemistry. This is a big reason why prodigies flame out and often end up leaving their original field of study, because they were pushed into dedicating their life to a subject at an inappropriately young age, which they then later realized was not their true calling
angela1894 1 month ago
@MrTrueGenius You're wrong. Alia Sabur is an EX-PRODIGY, because right now she is the same age as her classmates in law school. She used to be a prodigy, but now she isn't. Hence the term ex-prodigy. And I can bet you she won't make much of a contribution in law, she'll just be another average, run-of-the-mill lawyer. This is the common (with exceptions of course) outcome for child prodigies.
angela1894 1 month ago
@Angela1894
Your comments about Alia Sabur even stooped to personal attacks. At one point you called her a "frump". How is denigrating someone's personal appearance contributing to an understanding of prodigy? It is just offensive and immature of you to do so.
By the way, by the time Ainan's parents were seeking University admission for him, he was already familiar with the A level syllabus at home - so he was more prepared than you imagine. Again, not pushy...just supportive and proactive.

@MrTrueGenius
It doesn't matter that he was the youngest, cos he got a C. This proves he was pushed, it didn't matter to you that he was too young and under-qualified & would probably not make a good grade, all that mattered to you is that he took the exam at a very young age so that you could get a lot of media publicity and set a world record if he passed (even barely). If you really cared about Ainan, waiting a few years until he was prepared would take precedence over setting a world record

Typical ex-prodigy

@MrTrueGenius first of all, you're not fooling anyone with that moniker, I know that's you, Valentine. Ainan earned a C in chemistry O Level at 7. Only a pushy parent would insist his 7 year old enter university after earning only a C, which is BARELY a passing grade. He was clearly not adequately prepared. What are his grades like now at HELP University? On second thoughts, don't even answer, I know you'll lie. Good luck, I hope you're able to earn as much publicity as possible out of your son.

I have seen your comments on these videos before. They are always bitter, twisted, and a bit mad. You obviously are very jealous of the Cawley family, from the way you write.
Let us correct some of your misconceptions. Firstly, prodigies are almost NEVER pushed. They push the parents. This is basic and fundamental to the situation - about which you know nothing. Secondly, IQ correlates about 0.8 between parent and child. Thus, the parents have similar abilities to the child!

The truth is that child prodigies are usually (but not always) the product of extremely pushy parents and they rarely achieve anything of value as adults. Ever heard of Michael Kearney, Jay Luo, Adragon DeMello or Masoud Karkehabadi?

He was born in Singapore, but now lives in, you guessed it, Malaysia. Though at the time of this video, he was still in Singapore. His father is the Caucasian.

@Lewrestle200 Good memory is directly linked to being intelligent so.... He's probably pretty damn smart

He has a good memory. Having a good memory doesn't make you smart.

Cool, you broke a world record. Now move on to something that isn't a complete waste of time.

I hate how people consider this "clever or intelligent, so what the kid knows digits of pie, so what, no wonder our education system is based upon such stupid ideas, do you see this kid understanding basic philosophy, talented artists, or even becoming a poet, people get all worked up over math and science that it becomes the only thing people base intelligence off of
