"No, I am NOT Ashton Kutcher, so fuck off."
From time to time people throughout history have accomplished things that stand the test of time. Things that would make
them famous for hundreds, if not thousands of years later. Mozart, Issac Newton, Einstein, Alexander The Great are perfect
examples. They haven't been around for many, many years (over 2000 years for Alexander The Great), yet, are still known to the
world today, and will continue to be long after you're gone. Very long after.
Enter William James Sidis.
Oh, you don't know him and/or his accomplishments? That's because he DIDN'T DO A GOD DAMN THING, for the most part. Why bother mentioning him then?
Well, the reason this young Kutcher look-a-like is a mention is because he was only the smartest man to EVER walk on this planet!
How smart was he? Well, the average IQ for a person
is usually around 100-115, with going as high as 160-170. People generally with IQ's in the 160+ range are known as
theoretical physics. Well, Mr. Sidis scored his
IQ around 250-300. Not only did he learn 8 languages (Latin, Greek, French, Russian, German, Hebrew, Turkish, and Armenian) by
the time he was 8 years old, but he just went ahead and created his own called Vendergood.
Nobody uses it, but it's there. Here's the transcripts of his marks in Harvard dated 1909 when he was admitted.
He was born in 1898. That means he was 11 years old when he got into Harvard. He could teach himself one full language in a single day.
Where did he work? Probably a professor at Harvard? Yep...well, for a short period of time. Then he left, and afterwards either took jobs running adding machines,
or just other easy, menial jobs. He also gets arrested for rioting and assault. Sidis's parents considered putting him into an insane asylum,
however, he wasn't having any of that bullshit and moved to New York becoming estranged to them. Pretty much the rest of his life he simply
wrote articles under fake names, and doing other pointless shit until 1944 when he died at the age of 46 of cerebral hemorrhage. Oddly enough,
William's dad died of the exact same thing, but at the age of 56.
Apparently, their brains worked too much overtime throughout their lives, and finally killed them.
Ok, I made that part up.
