maybe that wasn't very hard to do but William took offense to this and he successfully sued the New York Times for libel and then sadly and unexpectedly died two years later of a cerebral hemorrhage so much potential and yet he remains nothing more than just a historical footnote what went wrong was it too much pressure from his parents too much pressure from society was he just weird could have been worse another child prodigy was Ted Kaczynski he was accepted into Harvard at age NUMBER_TOKEN something of a math prodigy he graduated taught mathematics at the University of California and then retired and took out the hobby of mailing bonds to people he wrote manifestos against the evils of Technology and killed three people injuring NUMBER_TOKEN others in a bombing spree that lasted several years he's now no more ominously as the Unabomber now obviously history is filled with child prodigies in various fields from mathematics to the arts music literature and so on that grow up to be perfectly functional human beings some like Enrico Fermi went on to become part of scientific revolutions others never rose above obscurity and that's okay where we end up in life has very little to do with our intelligence I can't imagine the pressure that somebody like that must be under if you're brought up being told that you're one of the smartest people that ever lived I mean how do you live up to those expectations I don't know I might have freaked out too regardless people like William situs remind us of the unbelievable capacity of the human mind and the potential for us as a species so a good show you weird street car loving guy so there are literally hundreds of child prodigies a lot of chess grandmasters and types of people throughout history if you have somebody that's one of your favorites please share it in the comments below I just thought this would be a fun topic to just kind of throw out there and talk about maybe a footnote of history that many of you might not have heard of I thought it was interesting well here I thought I'd point out new shirts this is the evolution of the Falcon although it's argued that if this one was a long time ago in a galaxy far far away maybe it should be on this side but whatever it's a fun shirt many more just like it and answers a joke on select shirts please go check them out they're a lot of fun alright thanks for watching please like and share if you liked it share what you think in the comments below and if this your first time here check out some of my other videos hope you enjoy those maybe subscribe if you like them normally come back on mondays I'm now doing Thursdays and with that I bid you adieu you guys have a great rest of the week and I will see you on Monday love you guys take care
