<h2 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > started with Harvard not recruiting "prodigies."</h2>
Many parents want their children to be "geniuses" and "prodigies." Only 3 percent of respondents followed a "high-level" college student at Middlesex University to end up as a "prodigy," with a 3 percent chance of eventually becoming a "prodigy." This corresponds to an extreme case. A psychology professor at Harvard University conducted a "training experiment" on his son, Saidas, who taught him to recognize English letters at birth and replaced toys with textbooks. "Early education is effective at 6 months. He can read 26 English letters. After that, he was able to read a middle school textbook at the age of 2, complete an anatomy thesis at the age of 6, and was admitted to Harvard University at the age of 12.
Just when people weren't jealous of their children, Sadas exhibited some abnormal behavior, such as smirking when they shouldn't be jealous. Finally, "early education" left his nervous system abnormal, and at the age of 14 he was admitted to a psychiatric hospital. In this extreme case, Harvard did not admit "young geniuses." Although according to the regulations, no applicant will be discriminated against by the school they apply to because of their age, the world's major schools are cautious about the admission of "prodigies". Because modern science has found that those who never forget, or who are born with a much higher than average IQ, tend to be plagued by mental disorders, such as sensory association disorder, autism, etc.
Scientists have concluded that it is impossible for humans to have perfect "super brains." Why? A person can gain superhuman intelligence, extraordinary memory, or extraordinary attention, but when he makes a breakthrough in some cognitive function, he has to pay elsewhere.
< h2 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > genius is often flawed</h2>
In the human brain, commonly used resources account for only one-tenth of the brain's capacity, and the remaining nine-tenths of the brain resources are generally dormant. Many people believe that geniuses become geniuses because their brain resources are more developed than the average person. A genius is a man with an extremely developed brain and a very intelligent mind. However, scientific research suggests that this is actually a misunderstanding. Many geniuses in the world have extremely special skills, and their intelligence in other aspects is inferior to that of ordinary people.
Neurophysiologists have concluded over a long period of research that talented people show extraordinary talent in a certain field because of the isolation of the brain region responsible for this ability. Isolated areas of the brain develop particularly well, giving them extraordinary abilities in this area. In other respects, geniuses generally behave as ordinary people, even lower than ordinary people. Einstein, whose IQ exceeded 160, proposed a theory of relativity that many still consider esoteric. But at the same time, he also suffered from language disorders and dyslexia.
<h2 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > geniuses and lunatics are often separated</h2>
The English poet John Dryden said: "Genius is second only to madman." From genius to madness is just one step away. Another ancient Greek philosopher, Aristotle, had a similar view: "There is no crazy genius." "Newton and Kant suffered from schizophrenia, Caesar and Napoleon suffered from epilepsy, and Pushkin and Goethe suffered from manic depression, as if geniuses had the recessive gene for schizophrenia.
Dr. Bruce Miller of the University of California successfully discovered the "genius button" in the human brain. It is a "preventive mechanism" inside the brain, which has the function of inhibiting genius and preventing people's daily behavior from deviating from the norm. Whenever a new idea appears in people's minds, the "error detector" enters a state of "this is not allowed" restrictions, making people feel that the idea is not very interesting and lose interest. But if something goes wrong with the constraint mechanism or is externally compromised, the ideas and theories of the extraordinary genius will continue to emerge, and the person will become a genius, but at the same time, he will take great risks. Many experts believe that the brain of most geniuses is "liberated" because of its flaws.
Professor Michael Fitzgerald, an Irish psychiatrist and expert on "Asperger's syndrome", conducted a psychiatric analysis of the most imaginative artists in history, proposing that "madness has a certain connection with greatness" and "Asperger's syndrome" has a great impact on people's social relations, but it does not matter if it has an impact on people's social relations. People with this disease often have extraordinary artistic creativity and superb mathematical talent.
Many talented people in the world suffer from "Asperger's syndrome", and their behavior has only one word: strange. Einstein had a hard time communicating with people in his daily life; Michelangelo suffered from autism; the English poet Yeats always frowned. The British writer George Orwell was "very rude", "behaved abnormally" and "had masochistic tendencies" toward his wife.
The researchers found that those with high grades were four times more likely to develop mania than others. The study was published in the British Journal of Psychiatry. The article says. Mania may help improve people's intellectual and academic performance, promoting proximity to genius. People with mild mania tend to be resourceful and creative, showing "greater language control, better memory, and other cognitive advantages." They tend to exaggerate their emotional responses, which may help them "develop their talents in art, literature, or music." In a state of madness, a person has "extraordinary endurance and sustained concentration."
<h2 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > genius is not as happy as ordinary people</h2>
Geniuses tend to be more vulnerable than ordinary people. Schubert, the "king of music," died at the age of 31. His work is full of melancholy, there is a hint of sadness in the piano music of mozart, a 35-year-old "musical prodigy"; there is also 34-year-old Bellini, 37-year-old Bicai, 40-year-old Weber, 42-year-old Mussorgsky, 43-year-old Wolff, whose psychological state is more sensitive and vulnerable than ordinary people. Is this a coincidence or an inevitable consequence?
Researchers at the University of Washington trained a group of smart mice with genetically modified technology and then used smart mice and regular mice as controls. They injected a solution that produced a feeling of stress and pain into the small paws of smart and normal mice. Another hour. There was no significant difference in the number of licking paws between the two groups. But with the passage of time. The number of smart mice licking their paws gradually increased, significantly more than that of ordinary mice. The results showed that the acute pain in the smart mice was almost the same as in normal mice. However, smart mice tolerated chronic pain much less than normal mice. Genetic changes are also responsible for this painful cost. Because smart mice have too many NMDA receptors. This receptor not only promotes memory and learning, but also makes smart mice more sensitive to pain and injury than normal mice.
Geniuses tend to be more sensitive to harm than the average scientist infers. Their innate fragile nerves make them more susceptible to suffering than the average person, so they are less likely to be happy. That's why so many geniuses suffer from mental illness. From this perspective, being an average person may be happier than being a genius. There can never be a perfect man in the world, because God would never create a perfect man. He gave gifts to gifted people that ordinary people did not have, and he also gave them defects that ordinary people did not have.
