> I would be interested to hear more about what they’re like as humans. i worked at "crimson research institute" for a while during the beginning of my phd - they paid 125/hr so enough said about why i did it. the kids were almost all classic overachievers - smart enough but groomed by their parents for the life. all of them except one were unspectacular in that regard and just going through the motions of the "research projects" - i wasn't big on cracking the whip so most of them slacked off after a couple of months. all of them very clearly extremely wealthy. > presenting children as some sort of prodigies or achievers. no one gave that impression - it was always just a necessary component of getting into HYPS(whatever).
