Glad to know that " smartest man who ever lived " was a SOCIALIST supporting the Russian Revolution !

What I found amazing about this SMARTER THAN EINSTEIN child prodigy ( IQ 300 ? ) is that he soon rebelled against that LOW IQ social order of CAPITALISM . He began to identify with the OPPRESSED working class at the very time of the Russian Bolshevik Revolution : [ "Again, this was a time in American history when a lot of people were very much opposed to socialism as they viewed it. So, when Sidis went on trial, and it was covered by the media, he didn't exactly make any friends. It was revealed that he supported the Russian Revolution, in addition to being a pacifist and a socialist. This wasn't long after the end of World War I. " ] But then the LESSER GENIUS Albert Einstein late in life wrote a popular essay titled " Why Socialism ? " NOTE : I am cynical about IQ evaluations even of " genius ". A necessary side of GENERAL intelligence is EMOTIONAL intelligence. A gifted child can seem to be fluent in a half a dozen languages. The MEANING of so many words is inseparable from their CONTEXT. A child " genius " does not have the HUMAN experience in LIFE needed to understand , for example , a great novelist like Charles Dickens. Many child prodigies are ruined for LIFE by being forced to show ACHIEVEMENT . GENIUS is best encouraged and left alone with that INNER LIGHT. One hint that this guy was smarter than Einstein was that he willfully shunned " girl friends and marriage ". Einstein was more weak minded here. He married early, had two kids. His thoughts on bourgeois marriage border on the vulgar. Too late he learned " only a pig could have invented this institution." SOME marriages might be made in heaven. SOCIALISTS are wise to stay single ! [ "The concept of marriage must have been thought up by an unimaginative pig. "] Albert Einstein
