People are so fucking stupid. This guy is 46, by then Einstein and Dirac were already well past over the hill in relevance to their fields. They effectively discovered the most accurate framework of how existence works to this date, what the fuck has he done with his huge brain? Where’s the revolutionary Kim theory of neuroscience?
Being able to learn things that other people have learned and produce to the same extent that other people in those fields have produced might make you as smart as them but it’s very hard to argue that it makes you smarter. If a measure of intelligence can’t quantify your ability to create new knowledge then it’s worthless and chatgpt really is the smartest person in the world.

No they weren’t. What is this. While his annus mirabilis was in his 20s, Einstein was still making some waves into his 60s and he never stopped working or developing things.
I don’t know why we have to adopt the weird ageist idea about science being a thing done only by the young or that accomplishments only matter if they’re done when young.
You are also conflating intelligence and discovery. You can discover things without being smart, and you can be smart without making any discoveries.
This guy is a grifter because he is grifting and lying. Not because he hasn’t developed a unified field theory.
Objectively, what is the proportion of important work that Einstein contributed to physics pre- and post-50? It’s not an “ageist idea,” it’s reality. Basically all the most brilliant physicists and mathematicians follow the same pattern, blame them for conspiring to make you feel bad about it or whatever.
Do you mean to tell me that you would believe that the single most intelligent person to have ever lived wouldn’t have made any significant contributions to their field of work? I don’t know where to begin to argue with that. Of course some dumb people make discoveries through luck and some intelligent people don’t make discoveries through bad luck, but this guy is saying that he’s two to three standard deviations smarter than the smartest person that humanity was ever previously aware of. I don’t need a tautology about him being a grifter to know he’s a grifter, I can prove it with evidence.
There is no truth to the idea that brilliant work is only done by the young, and objecting to your pseudoscience and ageism is not merely because it “Makes me feel bad” but because it is bunk. Pure and simple.
Your evidence is that he hasn’t shocked the world of physics´or neuroscience, most of the people who are in the triple nine society or otherwise score super high on IQ tests, even when done as legitimately as possible, don’t.
The reason he is a grifter is because he is using the claim that he is a super genius to grift, not because all smart things are done by 40 or because you can’t have a legitimately high IQ (Or a lot of actual intelligence, which a high IQ has very little to do with) without making huge and important discoveries (Idiots have made important discoveries, geniuses have lived their lives not doing so)
Did this hit a nerve? Are you a misunderstood aging genius who is just about to make their mark on the world? I don’t disagree with much of what you’ve been saying, but almost all of it is a response to what you imagine me saying rather than what I’m actually saying.
I can tell you one thing, I know that I’m not personally a genius because I get baited into this kind of shit all the time when I should have learned my lesson a thousand times over at this point. Like, I specifically mentioned age 50, the weird grifter in question is 46, and yet you have inexplicably chosen 40 as the age that I have magically designated as the cutoff for intelligence. At age 40 and one minute you’re just drooling and shitting your pants until you die. Obviously.
If you don’t want people to call your posts stupid don’t post stupid shit?
This isn’t about a nerve being struck, it’s just that you hold dumb beliefs and post about them dumbly.
It might be apocryphal, but Einstein is often quoted as saying “a person who has not made their great contribution to science before the age of thirty will never do so”.
That was the guy who spent his 20’s screwing around and checks notes fighting the Nazis and spending years as a POW. I’m pretty sure that Einstein was specifically targeting this guy with that apocryphal quote.
Responding to the sentiment, if it is not a quote; So it would be cool if people were free to live lives of pursuing passionate knowledge for the sake of it from a very early age and had access to communities dedicated to thoughtfully forming minds with a support (super)structure that facilitated individual and collective explorative endeavors. And not where we live now, which is, of course, hell.
Real. I have so many creative pursuits that are permanently on the backburner in a “I’ll get to it one day” mode because I have to work a hectic job to keep myself and my partner housed. It’s really depressing. Work/Life balance is nigh impossible.

Roger Apéry proved his famous theorem when he was 63.
