I remember understanding people talking but not knowing how to speak when I was very little. I guess I’m a genius


All babies understand language before they can speak. One of the reasons baby sign language works is because it doesn’t require the fine motor control that speaking does, so can be used earlier.


But also, permanent memory develops well after the kid speaks normally, so either he learned to speak later, or he formed that memory unusually soon or he is making things up. I bet three.


you forgot putting "/s" .


I thought it was obvious, but I forgot there are some real geniuses here who can’t tell the difference.


What's your IQ? Mine is 163. It would be tough to argue that I'm not a genius.


Mines 6,409 but one could still easily argue.


Considering your apparent lack of social awareness...


Yes, knowing your IQ score and saying it outloud is badthink.


Everyone I have known who has bragged about their IQ has been a knob.


Well this guy who bragged to me one time that he had an IQ of 100 was definitely something.


This. Better not to ask, better not to know


Context.


Do you see things that no one else does? I'd be fascinated to hear more
