You know the funny thihg is he's Asian.

Not to stereotype of course, but I can't help but find it ironic.

You know what else is a waste of time? Martial Arts.

Not only Asian, but his dad is Jewish. You add those two together to create some kind of super student. Yes, technically his dad is only Israeli, but the vast majority of Israelis are Jewish. Hell, I can get Israeli citizenship pretty much with a snap of my fingers since my mom's Jewish and I was raised Jewish.

Honestly, I think it will be interesting to see how this kid functions in the real world. By graduating from college at 11 he has missed out on so many social experiences that really help prepare you for the parts of your life that aren't based on book knowledge (which is 75% of it).

"I feel it's a waste of time playing video games because it's not helping humanity in any way,"

That quote just makes me rage a bit. "Helping Humanity" is probably one of the most egotistical things you can aspire to. You can't do something just because you find it interesting, it has to help humanity as well? Talk about being a blowhard.

Agreed. The only reason he says that is for ego.

He's eleven years old after all.

Games not helping humanity? Tell me how many times you saved humanity, brainiac! Zero? I saved it hundreds of times.

Honestly, I just feel sorry for the kid. 11 year olds should be running around outside and waiting for school to get out so they can go home and play games, not graduating college and trying to help humanity. He probably missed out on a lot of social skills you can't learn in a classroom, too.
