"Biografie che non se ne sentiva il bisogno"
Chi fu William James Sidis?
Semplicemente l'uomo smartest ever.
Stuff Stephen Hawking Mensa and all you have to just put scuorno,
and keep in mind that people are part of the table as Asia Carrera and Casto Divo!
Sidis, born April 1, 1898, showed his genius early:
six months said his first word, one year after he spoke correct English,
to 18 months was reading the New York Times, three years I begin to express themselves in writing using a typewriter resting on the chair, spoke Latin at four years and started studying the greek to read Homer in the original, six years after he learned Aristotelian logic and knew speak Russian, French, German, Hebrew, and soon also learned turkish and Armenian.
Eight years showed mathematical ability than those of their father, a genius, could also instantly recall everything read, at this age he had written four books, one of which an anatomy and astronomy, who went lost. During this time he passed the entrance examination for Harvard, but only once turned eleven was able to start their course.
However, it was the youngest student at the university where the June 18, 1914, graduating cum laude in Literature, at sixteen. At this point, says it will take the "perfect life," a retired life devoted to the study and knowledge.
After graduation, she began to teach three courses: Euclidean Geometry, Non-Euclidean geometry and trigonometry in greek writing a waiver for the course in Euclidean geometry.
Note that had a degree in literature.
Here, the problems begin:
very impressed with the students to deal with a young genius, hope of all humanity, begin to tease him, and came even to threats.
Sidis, but genius is no fool, I raise my hand with teaching.
When a friend asked him why he had decided not to teach, Sidis came out with a brilliant answer:
"Do not I never knew why I was given the job, do not have much of the teacher. I did not want to leave, I was asked to go there. "
Note the brilliance of this man, not even once did not mention the fact that they did new new school.
In this period the young Sidis told a newspaper that women are not attracted him. "
This is another example of how extreme intelligence is not genetically transmitted, as Tesla, Jesus, and Beethoven, not reproduced. You need to make a clarification, while the first two did so out of their own choosing, the Ludwig Van, he did so because they gave more spades.
Ludwig, women loved him,
in his case the fault is not to be brilliant, but
of poor hygiene.

Sidis once finished teaching, he began to study mathematics, but then let it go and sfastarea,
then enrolled in law but forget about that too. Abandoned
the academic environment, he threw himself into political action, participating in events for employees and was arrested during one of these.
the trial claimed to be socialist and conscientious objector does not believe in a God, but you scappotto jail thanks to his father, a highly influential figure at the time. The father
much quoted a psychiatrist, takes and closes in on his clinic for a year, after this
Sidis ties with the parent will already strained to breaking.
Sidis finally free of the influence his father, will be able to implement his plan,
an anonymous life and comfortable, away from the spotlight and the fame,
becomes an employee, - some say a guardian - and will remain anonymous until his death in solitude in '44 just a brain haemorrhage 46 years.
What did this in frattanza?
It is said that he had friends and company that could solve the crossword puzzle in mind after having seen only a few seconds, he spoke 40 languages \u200b\u200band was able to learn a new one in 3 days.
After his death, years later, such as thirty years, several works were found in attics and homes of friends, a science fiction novel, 89 articles written under a pseudonym on Boston and title pages of works not yet found. In one of the works come to light, " animate and inanimate world World", Sidis anticipates (in 1920) the term "black hole".
But in the end, his genius is served to you? anyone?
The first part of his life has passed a sewer, he always shy and reserved under the spotlight and analyzed at the behest of the self-centered father, then a period was "happy" while giving his anonymous contribution to society, then lost contribution, and therefore unused.
It finally died alone, so it has not even achieved the basic goals of human beings.
Sidis, the extreme example of being smart, never had an easy life, and we can say it has not been much helped by his gift.
So intelligence can not be what distinguishes us as men from the rest and elevates us to 'be' more ', in fact you can easily see how the idiots often are happier.
