- kwhitefoot 10y agoDepends on what you mean by genius. I always assumed that people meant by it someone who made an original contribution to the world, did something unexpected and clever in the widest sense of the term. Most of the few child prodigies that I am aware of haven't done that. But I don't begrudge him the chance to get ahead if that's what he wants. Starting early means more time to change direction later. Missing a childhood, well, one person's idyllic childhood is another's vision of hell so let's not all judge too harshly.
