Inside The Mind Of Jaxon Cota An 11-Year-Old Kid Genius | NBC Nightly News
Him at 11 years old: Being VERY smart
Me at 11 years old: wondering if teachers live at school
Swifty are you serious
PROJECT DCB no lol I Did when I was like 7 it was just a joke lmao
Swifty oh sorry I just was sarcastic no harm done 😎
PROJECT DCB oh I wasn’t sure I just didn’t want to start an argument lmao
lmao ahahahah r u sure at the age of 11
The best thing about this is his parents’ attitude. His parents are allowing him time to grow up and enjoy life as a normal boy, while bringing positive impacts on his peers.

@SIMP RAT It's not normal, but rather ideal
because he isnt asian
Lies again? Pornstar WWE88
Exactly
One thing that always amazes me with most child prodigies/geniuses, is the humbleness they portray.They know how intelligent they are yet their modesty is what makes them extremely likeable.

Man,i wish
Not all are like this. Some are not so kind to others that are not like them. Sad.
@@LanaCat44
Because the others are so different than them. I was born with an l.Q of 130 in a poor country I was put in the back of the classes the experience made me feel certain hopelessness and anger against others.
@@mrt8085 I don't blame you for feeling that way.As a teacher and counsellor I would have helped you with your self esteem and given you study that was more to your level and moved you forward and encouraged you with each success. Learning should be enjoyable and not something that people don't want to do once they leave school.
“At MathCON, he came in 7th out of 45,000 students”
The one who came in 1st: 😐
P. S: btw absolutely no hate, this kid seems very gifted and kind, this is only a comical remark.
Have a nice day 🦋
LMAO
Haha! I was thinking the same thing.
Double his age probably.
Maybe we should ease up on the word genius for 7th place finishers
@@mattfarley4996 Definitely.
When I was his age I went to the hospital with a bean stuck in my nose.
Thats so funny
when i was his age i put gum in my nose
That is epic!
When I was 11 I was trying to smoke twigs, burning ants and starting fires with a magnifying glass.
😅
He is a good kid. NO attitude, grounded parents, he will do very well.
It would be terrible if he is not grounded, cause he is not even that much more intelligent than his age group.

"A true genius does not equate intelligence to superiority; instead, it is merely a tool which can be used. It's like muscle, or acrobatics. Everyone is different, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, but each equally applicable in the right environment."
-Tanner Steinbrecher, 2020
that's what i tell folks all the time: it's not that we know "more" than others...we all know DIFFERENT things...
i am on yet another totally unjust 30-day ban by the facistbook...and just watching YT with my morning coffee and rum...i wonder if i should try to contact the young man and ask him:
WHY CAN'T FOLKS DO THIS BASIC MATH:
Sam, who is standing on the equator is 3,959 miles "lower" than Dave who is standing on the north pole...Dave travelled 6,225 miles along the surface of the earth to go stand with sam on the equator: how much did Dave "drop" over each of the miles he travelled along the surface on his way to be with sam?
it's very straightforward and easy..and yet...any "mathematician" i present this to goes insane and gets very rude...and tells me my clear basic correct math "doesn't work"...(even though it DOES...it just also happens to disprove their beLIEf about the earth..and THEIR very complicated math CAN'T EVEN ANSWER THAT QUESTION...(what is the drop PER MILE)
none of them seem able to acknowledge that whatever the "drop" PER MILE is it HAS to be the same over each and every mile...
if folks actually think that through..they will see how the government lies about EVERYTHING..on a MASSIVE scale.
i mean..there are folks who've dedicated their lives to learning the nonsense lies the universities spew...the more attached they are to their beloved THEORIES...the more they get paid, privileged, promoted
so...of course it's those of us who've always wondered/questioned...that the world refuses to even hea
and so the answer you are looking for is what you would divide 3,959 by to get 6,225 (or multiply the latter by to get the former)
so you divide 3959 by 6225 to find it 0.64 times 6225 equals 3959, and 3959 divided by 0.64 equals 6225 (all figures rounded..e.g., 6225.25 is only 6225 for ease/example here) 0.64 is almost two-thirds…so dave “drops” almost two-thirds of a mile over every mile he travels along the surface…if he travels 1.57 miles along the surface, he will drop ONE WHOLE MILE.
@@traceyanarchist3553 seriously, mathematicians have problems with that? As soon as I read the question I knew how to calculate it, but from just an immediate estimation I guessed a drop of about half a mile per mile. Pretty basic. If they cant answer that, what are they ACTUALLY learning in university?
@Tracey Anarchist Once I heard liquor, fb bans, and see random crazy caps. I’m like this dude drunker than me, I ain’t even gonna bother 😂
Ahhh negative. The more intelligent you are, regardless of the category, the more valuable you are to the world. Period. We honor emotionally intelligent folks, businessman, scientist, etc. I know it might hurt but intelligence is definitely tied to a hierarchy.
it is a good thing that these parents are allowing him to have his childhood. NASA can wait.
His parents love his son and daughter and treat him normal with things he like to learn to do, baseball his best.
Berlin Lincoln
Children are too often viewed by parents as a possession that they can mold into whatever they want him/ her to be. They fail to recognize that this is a person, who has the right to freedom of expression of their own mind. That is why childhood should be a time of social growth and learning the responsibilities that come with freedom. Children should never be "trained" into any skill, or ideology. My attitude as a parent was always, show them where the tools are, and let them decide what to do with them.
+Tim Hallas that's why I'm very thankful for what kind of parents i have. they're just so supportive and never gives us pressure.
Boom Panes
That's good to hear. Just remember to give thought to your own future and do not expect that it will come to you. Know yourself first, and then take from others the part of them that feels right to you. Be the best you that YOU can be. If anyone doesn't like you, then your with the wrong person.
Real talk
The smartest thing about him is he understands the balance of his life. Cool!

@Huda Abdi klo di indo pasti rame.
@Huda Abdi your statement is now obsolete, please delete.
True! And I think his IQ is higher than 148. If he was doing calculus at age 11, that’s like 155+ IQ. Mine was tested to be 147, and I was doing algebra 2 and geometry in 7th grade (when I was 12). Calculus at age 11 is reallyyyy impressive.
His parents achievement on this one!
This exceptionally bright young boy is extremely fortunate to have exceptionally thoughtful, kind, loving, supportive parents who want their son to have a normal childhood and not be pressured to over-achieve. Bless this wonderful family!
When I was his age I was wondering why the sun was following us in the car
Its moon
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
the best thing this kid has is his grounded, dedicated parents
My first thought too. Kudos to them!
Gerrit
more than several, but we can't deny it's a problem whatever kids happen to live in n enviromnt where their fathers don't even care to know them. It's got to hurt plenty
his parents are morons to keep him back he needs to advance to go to college and more
It's rare to see a child that's so gifted and so intelligent and isn't socially awkward. His parents are doing it right.
Holy moly thanks for the likes yall. Some people seem very unnerved by the comment, I just wanna let y'all know that I'm judging from first hand experiences I've had with multiple of my very intelligent friends on a daily basis.
@xX Ballistic Xx are you asian?
@xX Ballistic Xx no one asked?
There is nothing wrong with being socially awkward 💕
@xX Ballistic Xx I started keeping a journal in the summer before Grade 2. I had just learned to read and write the year before.
Maybe because he is not autistic,
partial hearing loss is his only weakness.
Jaxon at 1 years old: *I know the number 1,000,000*
me at 1 years old: *chewing on lego*
Me at 1year old: wetting my bed.
He’s going to grow up to have an amazing life and make an amazing contribution. Kudos to the parents for seeing the big picture!
Probably a fentanyl overdose instead
And that's the life of an average asian.
not really....
Yes, really.
i'm asian i suck in math because i hate it, so, not really

I'm as relaxed as possible, why wouldn't I be?
Anyway.. You might want to take your own advice and think before you type, "bro".
There are other Asian countries than China, you know, and in a lot of those countries people have access to RUclips.
Also there are a lot of European countries with quite a lot of Asian people living there. Those people also have access to RUclips.

Just stop the "dude chill out". I'm not even angry. I just called you out because you were generalizing. Is it really that hard for you understand that?
I like the parents' approach. Great to see a young bright mind.
im glad to see you here!
totally agree!
+Julien Gray can't say the same 😬
He should be careful about h2!
I thought the same, he will become a happy person.
Great Story. He can always start college classes when he is in High School if he has time between his classes and sports. I went to Kindergarten telling time and tying my shoes. I wore an analog watch (1964) and drove my teacher a little crazy until she gave me some tasks to do at the right time. I became a School Psychologist. I hope Jaxon has a productive and happy life.
Hi John, nowadays they have college level classes as part of a child's high school schedule. As a school psychologist, you knew that, correct?
@@chriswesterfield2042 When I worked in a high-school, they had to go to our Community College
Kudos to his parents : ) very smart for keeping him with his age group. A lot of real life would be missed for him, if they pushed him ahead.
Thank god these parents are in this kids life. Im glad this kid is living as a normal child. When you take simple things from a childrens life it can damage them forever. Growing up in a stable household with a balanced life in all aspects (school, sports, playing..) is key for you to become a good adult.
but alexandra every child born is born with a purpose and he needs to fulfill that otherwise he is not worthy to live on this planet earth
Upendra, I agree, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have the right to have a childhood! He has his whole life to fulfill his purpose! :)
alexandra this is public pole i think we should discuss on this privately
join our whatsapp group
find me on instagram or facebook
claro, tienes mucha razón!
You can tell the kid is grounded in reality when he says that sometimes it takes trial and error in his activities. Other supposedly genius kids I see on youtube are so full of themselves you would think they never made an error in their entire lives.
I think this kid is going to go far. And yes, nice job to the parents for giving him the space to be a child and be himself.
He's the most comprehensive gifted child I've seen so far. Like he can still relate to people and he seems sociable.
Your high rating is derived from his capitulation to lesser minds? ...though this is a child, he isn't developed enough to realize the degenerate nature of average.
stereotype of the misfit a form of predjudice even hostility jealousy
I think that the main difference between Jaxon and the messed up, formely gifted kids (like me) is that his "gift" hasn't been made to make out his entire identity. He isn't his talent, it's simply something he's great at but he still keeps his focus on other things in his life, such as friends and hobbies. Also, he understands the value of effort, and that is a very big deal.
Nah
It is astonishing how a few youngsters are brought into the world with a blessing. I wish him the best for the kid, he has truly shocked me.
I never had any kids, and it eats at my soul, every day of my life. This kid is a blessing to his family, and the hope of the world. This made my day. May God bless this family always, and may they enjoy a long and happy life.
Awwww
Mass murder school shootings, males now competing directly against girls in athletic competition, and the world is on the verge of WW3. What were you saying about wanting a child???
@@dafi0 Must've lost that wisdom somewhere along the way.
Adopt !
Y u a modern femminest or a lefty lmfao 😂
Its not good to call kids geniuses until theyve accomplished something. They get an ego and then freak out when they fail to be above average and become afraid to ask when they need help or can fall into depression if their life work ends up being average. Calling them a genius for no reason will make them insecure and feel like imposters when they don't feel like geniuses
i agree. just let it casual. and strengthen his physical and social skills so that he will get through school smoothly not become geek and bullied.
with such brain power and normal life, he could be the next zuckerberg. just dont make him different. genius mark will make him alienated and distant.
Zuckerberg is a thief. Hardly genius material.
MrSupernova111 genius theif then
MrSupernova111 whatever u called, hes 4th richest man in the world.
tiramisu . Pablo Escobar was the 7th richest man on earth. What's your point?
this kid has the perfect parents. They're down to earth, let him be a kid, and he's going to do amazing things because of it.
What a fine, happy & contented boy. He knows what he wants & he has parents that are so supportive.
Excellent parents, well raised kid. God bless this family!
The parents were smart to keep him at his level. They were right to also let him be a kid.
its pretty obvious that the news outlet had perhaps paid the parents into believing that the child is a prodigy. When in fact they had made some very unrealistic assumptions towards a real prodigy.
His parents seem so down to earth and sensible
his parents are dumb to hold him back
Gemma Cameron They seem like they jus5 want attention because their kid is a little smarter than most kids
David Nah , you guys just are giving the negative points and thoughts of why they’re holding him back . Most likely they think that its most comfortable for the kid to be with his age . Just because he’s overall amazing in his calculations in math and other things related to math doesn’t mean he’s amazing at everything just like his mom said in the video that he still couldn’t tie his shoes.
David ALSO the child said that he just wanted to be a kid at the end of the video so if you skip all these grades or go for these hard schools for him he wouldn’t be able to experience being a child anymore, he’s still 11 . Think about their feelings tooooooooooooo >->
"his parents are dumb to hold him back"
No they aren't.
My parents did something similar with me. Having been tested twice for academic placement. Scoring 139 and 141, respectively, they ultimately chose advanced placement in academics, and electives with my peers. I thank them for their insight, knowing that socializing is very important, especially with your peers.
139 and 141 are very good, but not genius level. But maybe you also have the determination level to go with it.
High school is not a problem because, as a freshman, you could take advanced classes that seniors would take. Then you could probably graduate after your junior year.
The academics would be more problematic in a public grade school though. The difficulty of the hardest classes is not very high.
A private K-12 private school might be best. As a young girl you can learn socialization in homeroom, lunch, art and P.E. classes. For academic classes you could be in the older kid's classes. Also, nowadays, many seniors are taking college level classes at community colleges (if one is nearby).
By visiting college level classes, you could enter a university at a sophomore level after high school graduation. You can also earn college credit without leaving your high school if the high school has a teacher qualified to teach such classes.
What I like about him is he knows how to use his knowledge. He doesn’t just let it go to waste
*PROBABLY WATCHES RICK AND MORTY*
Frud // Door Jebus tru
If he watches rick and morty than he has a low IQ
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewers head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenevs Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

Is that the exact same comment as on another video?
When I was 11, I was trying to see the fridge light cut off.

Is the string of water coming out of the faucet a solid object?
A good sense of humor is also an asset.
Excellent
It put a smile on my face to see him handle life a lot better then I do I’m 16 and always end up talking myself down because I know where I could have been, if anything I’d do the bare minimum and conserve the rest of my energy.
One issue I have with the "we never taught him any of that" is, how would a 2 year old child even know the words for trillion, quadrillion, etc without having been hearing them from somewhere?
Says does really hard algebra
*writes equation for area of a cylinder*
XD
XDDD
You learn that in the year he is in lol
I'm embarrassed that I don't even know what that is
You lesrn that in 6th grade xd if your in advance class or else in 2nd smartest class
He'll always have college. But he'd never get his childhood back.
enjoy it.
HE IS ENJOYING HIS CHILDHOOD !
THAT'S PASSION.
MAYBE I'M MISSING SOMETHING HERE.
DEFENDING AGAIN.
College could ruin him as it does so many.
He is being a child. But with his level of intelligence comes a far broader knowledge, which in turn means development of an intellectual maturity beyond his years. You cannot stifle that to keep him in the 'norm' box. That is what would destroy him. His intellect cannot be measured by what suits or does not suit a normal intellect.
chris wentworth he’s like 16 now
This is what my parents always say when I do complex math like him. I don’t understand it though. I can’t make any physics in my programs if I don’t know calculus lol
Best parents. I have worked with students at Caltech and MIT and being smart is only one part of the equation for success. What's really important is the right personality/attitude. Jaxon really comes across as a nice child. I am sure he'll be successful at what ever he chooses to do.
Wow. So much confidence in himself. Great job mom and dad!!!!
1-12 people say you are prodigy 13-17 people say you are genius 18 or more, you'r just a normal human being
Wouldn't even give him the genius from 13-17.
2:06 That's the true face of a genius
Lol
haha
true lmaoo
Yes . i agree 👍clever parents can discover early their son's capabilties
Hey... He was "sorting shapes by their attributes."
Cakes are flat and round and a bit messy.
That smile on the baseball field, I love it! I'm glad he values being a kid and having fun :)
This reminds me. At high school I’m in the math team and one of my teammates is named Alan, who is so smart that I can’t think of words to describe it. He took Precalc in 8th grade AP Calculus in the 9th grade. And I thought it was impressive for me to take Algebra 1 and 2 in the 7th and 8th grade. And even besides math, he took all the honors and AP classes available to him. I highly doubt his iq is below 150 and I highly doubt he won’t become famous like Albert Einstein for his big brain. He is a high school senior now and he’s getting my vote for homecoming king.
Meanwhile om sitting here like"2+2=4 minus 1 thats 3 quick maths”

Funniest comment ever...Ol time Asnee!
I dont understand how it's even possible that he knew 14 digit numbers at the age of 2. He wasn't in school then and only his parents could have taught him words like thousand million and quadrillon and they said they didn't teach him. It's like he was pre programmed
his parents probobly told him that or its just fake and they need money :D
I don’t even know how many zeroes a billion have
shooketh • 9
Thousand million? Really? That’s one billion.
Exactly.
wow, brilliant kid... definitely the parents/people surrounding him had positive effect. May he still enjoy his childhood.
Incredible brilliant 11 year old boy amazing intelligence that he has thanks to his supportive parents.
even if someone is a genius they cant possibly just learn how to say these numbers or what words correspond with numbers as high as fifteen digits? without hearing or seeing it before knowledge doesn't just immaculately present itself in the mind?
+Harry Pot
Their brains 'connect the dots' much much better than an average person. They can take very few represented examples and naturally understand how they correspond. Their brains are beyond the level of a 'sponges' in terms of absorbing and making logical sense of their surroundings.
+L Smitty ok but again, they cannot just pull the word "quintillion" out of thin air. And any 2 year old is not going to hear the world quintillion. You might have an argument with millions.. MAYBE billions.. But at 2 years old hearing trillion, Quadrillion, and quintillion? absolutely bullshit.
I FULLY believe this kid is truly gifted and exceptionally intelligent. But he certainly did not teach himself words he NEVER heard before. Dude, that's like saying he just started speaking latin words, or yiddish or something fucking stupid he never heard
Yeah idk
+Mxracer6y
The only way I can imagine it'd be possible was if he could tap into another source of information.
Like the akashic records or a previous life, even all that is (the source/matrix) but I've never experienced such things.
There still lies the possibility he has seen the words somewhere and learned how to formulate the words.
We don't know what he's been exposed to and judging from the parents they don't either.
+ThoughtfulLuis WOW U SAID IMMACCULATE
What a cool kid. A lot of highly intelligent kids are socially stunted and frankly just really obnoxious, but not this kid.
+Emily Hope Not necessarily. It often comes with a very different set of challenges despite the best efforts of the parents; as seen, for example, with Child Genius' Hugo.
+Emily Hope Ah, I see. You're 10. That explains it :)
I saw his address
Alright, we get it, you're an idiot. No need to rub it in our faces.
Ok, damn... I take everything back. I'm wrong, stupid, etc, etc. I just thought it was nice that he just wants to play baseball with his friends :/
God bless you Mom and Dad. You have a wonderful son. Times like this it’s good to see something so inspirational.
I am fascinated about miracle kids like this, but really appreciate that his parents let him be a kid. Nothing is more important than that!
Two plus two is four, minus one that's three, quick maths
To be fair you must have a very high iq to understand Rick and Morty

Hope she dosen't act like kermit
i’m friends with the sister. she’s neglected
She can become an actress or model.
"I also wanna be a kid" not only he is a genius, he is wise.
It makes me feel good about this world just knowing that this young man is in it.
Keep up the good work.
He looks like a really likable kid as well as a genius.
There is no such thing as genius. What he has are helicopter parents pretending they haven't been coaching/grooming the kid since he was a baby. Eventually, the kid will realize he's like everybody else and end up a regular Joe with a high IQ score and a regular job. Genius should be reserved for people that actually accomplish things.
Supernova salty kid
Supernova your just jealous just cuz hes intelligent and hes dumb
Supernova well he succeeded in making rube goldberg machine during quarantine so shut your mouth
@@MrSupernova111 The parents don't strike me as the grooming type. They are regular people. The kid is legit smart if he was understanding big numbers before 2 yrs old.
I can swallow a whole ice cube

I can binge watch RUclips
That'sWhatSheSaid I laughed too hard at this... but I can sleep for over 2 days straight without waking up and still amswer your questions if you ask me... and sleep walk yo the bathroom if I needed to...
That'sWhatSheSaid now thats a superpower broda
tbh thats probably cooler
Great to see that they’re not only worried about him getting grades and skipping them, they want him to have a childhood.
His parents will keep him grounded so as he still enjoys his childhood and that is beautiful
These talents are only relevant if the kid uses them to do something practical. Seems like he has some great parents to guide him that don't just care about showing off.
+littleripper312
so true,
I remember years ago seeing an interview on TV
with a boy genius
and his aspiration was to become a game show host.
Mozart did much better with his talent.
I wish more adults had the wisdom Jaxon has. I hope his childhood isn't wasted or rushed. He will be just as gifted if allowed to grow up. What a treasure he is right now.
I love the fact that he doesn’t just focusing on his skills but also on sport
When he’s late for class, the Teacher apologizes for being early.
Why is it easy to tell if someone is in MENSA?

Because they’ll tell you within seconds of meeting you
Postallone I know rightly
Damm right
Postallone and they are annoying and special and are not as smart as they say
Haha so true
True, but we are still in mensa. And you are not.
he came 7th out of 45000 kids at math con, why are we interviewing this kid. how about the kid who came 1st?
Zelentic and they didn't even focus on that, only things like, "he's learning algebra and geometry at age 11," which is way less impressive than 7th Place.
Zelentic We can’t, he’s not from this planet 😀
cuz he likes baseball
I wondered
Maybe he is the youngest of all of them!
I hope as he grow older he stays pure,kind and humble.. I thank God for this child..
The parent’s approach is actually really smart, putting him in classes with people much older than him probably would affect his social development so they made the right choice to let him grow up alongside his peers.
how is a 2 year old suppose to know those numbers. numbers like that don't come naturally to a human, people need to teach them that kind of stuff. no way a 2 year old can say the number 21350. it just doesn't make sense whatsoever. im not saying that he's not a genius at all it's just that 2 year old story is bullshit
Maybe he saw some TV documentaries. Kids nowadays watch TV all day long. Not so smart kids watch cartoons. Smarter kids get beyond cartoons quickly and want to watch all kind of TV stuff. Unlike adults, kids are extremely curious about everything, and learn extremely fast. Adults are under the impression that they have to effectively teach a kid about something, but most of the time kids learn by themselves by watching, listening, feeling, reading, etc.
+K Marx But he would have had to heard all of those numbers.
plus he has a hearing disorder
exactly!! someone wouldn't just know the word quintillion out of no where! total bullshit. That would be like knowing someone's name without being told.
exactly, someone must of teach him. we have to also consider that when you are that young, the brain can pick up and memorize things faster.
So proud of Jaxon, and I'm equally proud of his parents for listening to their Son and just allowing him to be a kid!...
The parents are very bright, too. Keeping their genius child, a child overall is a great thing. You’re only young once!
Amazing. God bless this family and may the Lord help him continue on a bright path. It is hard to be the parent of an unusually smart kid because you want to balance academic success with sound socialization-good to hear these parents perspective. I think they are thinking about him first...
I’m proud of his parents having the foresight to allow this young man his childhood. It’s so important for children, gifted or not, to have the normal steps to evolve into adulthood.
Good Luck to this sweet boy who is blessed with a bright future 🙏
If he's 7th for math, who the heck is 1st???
3portec idk I'm 10th
3portec He's not as smart as he thinks, or this news station thinks. Algebra and Geometry is not real math, until you prove why the maths you did works. What he is doing, in the mathematical field is not considered maths by any means. This is info coming from a Astrophysics major that has extensive knowledge in the mathematics field. :)
3portec To simplify if you didn't understand (not to question you're intelligence), he's doing calculations, not maths.
Im Bad At COD so what is actual math then?
Im Bad At COD my brother is an astrophysicist and I'm an environmental engineering major and can tell you he has potential in the STEM field although he is no prodigy. Like this man here said he needs a lot more than basic mathematics to be covered like this by a news outlet.
I LOVE how his parents kept him in his grade!! ❤
It is amazing how some children are born with a gift. I wish him the best for the boy, he has really surprised me.
Uhh why you wishing the best for somebody better than you i never do that he could be mean and rude and call people stupid and dumb so nah if i were you i would take away the praise
@@crackedsnickel6533 you must be fun at parties you're probably not invited to
I built my first teleportal when i was 5 i didnt get nobel prize but im still good at minecraft
I can see why if you can't spell teleporter correctly.
CentralFx He was trying to say portal, as in the nether portal in minecraft.
It was supposed to be a joke-!
Dose Of Cringe im Actually meanet command block
CentralFx hahaha nice
Not putting him in grades higher than his age was the best thing his parents did. Kudos to them
Why? No offense
@@thetoastedtoad5045 because he is a kid and he should grow up with peers . Just because he is a genius doesnt mean he doesnt deserve a normal childhood just like every other kid and to do activities like other kids. If they put him in grades older than his age then he would grow up being forced to do more grown up stuff and he wpuldnt really feel like a kid and he wouldnt really enjoy his life that much because his life would be focusing on his "genius" side rather than on his human side.
Ohhh ok
@@thetoastedtoad5045 theres a really great movie called Gifted which talks exactly about this subject. I reccomend u watch it. U gonna love it
@@NOONE-cd4gu ok ill check it out
When young toddlers begin to organize and line up their toys by size and shape it’s definitely a sign of intellectual capability
How nice to see such grounded and down to earth parents and child.
I have the most respect for this kid out of any other kid genius video I have seen. So many of them just seem arrogant, prideful and super obnoxious.
They seem that way because every person they've talked to for more than 5 minutes has figured out that they're sharper, and most of these other persons react poorly to it, which makes the super-sharp kid erect defense mechanisms to deal with it. Similarly, a strikingly attractive woman will be seen for little else, and most people will conclude that she is stuck up and full of herself because it's just the way she is...when, often, the general public's constant snap judgments made her that way in the first place. Vicious circle, of the ouroboros variety. But, at least the gorgeous woman gets ogled. No one likes a know-it-all except, ironically, other know-it-alls.
This kid seems relatively well-adjusted because, frankly, he's not far enough toward the end of the bell curve to be unmistakably different in cognitive ability.
Ethan Martin like u
He’s a personable kid and even a pretty good athlete. That’s unusual with genius. Seriously impressive
Some are disputing the nature of his genius. We’ll have to see where his life will lead. I personally believe the most intelligent men from history, apart from Leibniz, Euler, Gaus, Gottlieb, Newton, Archimedes, all the notable polymaths, are William Shakespeare, John Von Neumann and Nikola Tesla. Will all this athleticism and reputed social skill produce the next Leonardo Da Vinci? It’s hard to make that judgement from an early age, but I surmise that his success will have its limits if those around him don’t choose to leave him alone. He’s not black or female, I am guessing European ancestry. All factors of inception clash in his favor, but will his actions ever be forgotten? We won’t know until they’ve already happened, but someone decided it was important to interview him while he was still being cultivated. Maybe he should enter journalism and rework the infirmities of our culture, and the media which has obviously been having a few bad days lately. Lol? Good luck, boy. Grab some poon.
@incognito mode I agree except with the system being dumbed down for girls. I think it was just dumbed down for dumbies and to save money for the government on education and more grunt workers in society that have a "Highschool Education"
I think he’d make a good Coach, like an actual professional coach. Think about it, he’s intelligent enough to make logical decisions and find the root of any problem as well as good athleticism meaning he knows the limits of players, and he understands sports. Of course, he’s not really a genius though. He’s really good at math and intelligent, but you can be the best person at math in your city and still not be a math genius.
Ths is not the image of a typical gifted Child that we should have in mind .
Being gifted is a multidimensional thing.
That means that the gifted person is average or above in many areas (multi dimensional) and NOT NECESSARY that you distinguish
in one specific area (one dimensional).
This makes it difficult for the Parents of a gifted child to detect his intelligence - which is crucial for his development and well being - since they need to have a general idea of their kids abilties.
Imagine a sea urchin.
Αll his spines may be bigger than usual (multi dimensional) but we only notice if one spine is unsually big (one dimensional)
and the other are normal. The first case describes a gifted person and the second case describes a talented one.
So we must NOT have in mind that our kid should do something exeptional - like play piano at early age - in order to have a chance of being gifted.
Jaxon is lucky beause he is having that one spine -being good with numbers- that is pretty observable, which is what mobilized his parents to talk to an expert and have him tested.
In fact many gifted people remain in the shadow because their parents and teachers have this false idea of what being gifted is .
This may shock you but 1 in every 50 children is considered gifted in Jasons level .
So parents and teachers, please,inform your self about what Giftedness is and how to detect it.
*Dont confuse Genius with Gifted , Genius is easier to detect because its' "spines" are WAAAY bigger.
**Sorry for my English
***Thanks for reading
What I loved about that kid even though he's smart and super smart he also stated how he didn't want to move fast he just want to be a kid and grow up with his age group that's awesome
I really doubt this kid could say 15 digit numbers when he was two years old. Someone had to have told him what those numbers were if he did. There is no way the words for those numbers just popped up in his mind, that is impossible.
Also, it looks like the math work he was doing in the video was pretty typical for someone his age. He is told a formula, gets the numbers, and plugs it in. Anyone could do that with a standard American education.
Yes, he would have had to hear it from someone, somewhere. However, Just being able to comprehend it at that age is pretty amazing, though.
I agree. Obviously, someone had to show him how to read numbers and count by three digits to say bigger numbers. He is a smart kid, but they aren't telling the whole story.
excuse me it is possible......heard about "savant" people??? google it yur complete idiot
savant people can do what they did not learned......like counting even if they did not heard about it
To be able to know 100,000 is called 'one hundred thousand' means he would have had to learn/see it somewhere.
An 11 year old starting his sentence off with "There is RARELY an OCCASION..."
I'm 12 and I can do that....
Kids arent as dumb as you think
@@tiksa812 IKR even I can do algebra and geometry and I'm 11 everyone's not dumb
@@tiksa812 wwwweeeeeelllllllllll
@@ryanhenry9826 What?
I congratulate Jaxon’s parents for trying to raising him as a normal boy building friendships and enjoying playing games and similar I understand this video is from seven years ago and I’m wondering how he has got on since then. I’m sure he will go very far in this world. Good luck to him
I am so glad these parents kept their gifts young man in his current grade and with kids his own age
It might be fascinating for American school level, but in the part of Asia most of the students start doing these problems at 11-12 years old.
kshitiz rimal Do most kids anywhere around the globe have an IQ of 140, though? Lol
kshitiz rimal in America they do that too
How about in Africa? A student who excelled in Maths at 11 in Africa would be considered a deity. So it's not the actual level because lets face it, Asians have crap skills for original thinking, they're copiers. So sure, early skill building, to learn what everyone else does.
the problem is that IQ gives _some_ notion of reasoning and logical abstract thinking ability, but IQ is not a predictor of success or, whether you accept it or not, how *intelligent* you really are.
Most psychology experts agree that an IQ test, which measures _g_ in some sort of way, is not a valid test to measure intelligence because most experts agree that intelligence is more pervasive than being good with numbers (abstract and logical thinking).
kshitiz rimal omfg -_- u have a lot to learn,Asians do this like in grade 3,and plus I'm Nepalese and I knnew calculus since I was 10
Good choice, I'm glad the parents are keeping the kid on grade level. So many of these kid geniuses take college classes & never learn how to socialize with peers their age.
+moop He wouldn't be able to take college classes, he is in the top 2% in a school of 2000 kids there are forty smarter than him. He didn't show anything extraordinary, he was just doing math a couple years ahead of his grade.He will probably graduate a year early with some ap classes depending on how hard he works
moop If this kid was really a genius, then his parents would be making a big mistake.
There are hundreds of thousands of kids internationally that are smarter
This kid can discover time travel , take care of him , let him do what he wants . Love is all he needs.
This kid learning stuff that I've never heard of geez, keep going bro!
Jaxon is getting nerfed in the next update ;(
Jay Zee XSD
Jay Zee wot
Jay Zee wtf lmao
please god buff me in the next update
Jay Zee yeah he’s not really balanced. I hear developers are planning on nerfing him by adding extra fluoride to his water :’(
Me: looks at video of 9 year old prodigy joining MENSA
Also me: remembers myself at 16 laughing at 'Uranus'
🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can do both, y'know; get into MENSA and laugh at silly stuff. The best comedians are super-geniuses!
I'm 43 and still laugh about it...
Be the parent you want your kids to be.
These people are doing it right.
These parents are great. A lot of parents would strip him of his childhood and burn him out. Great story! Hats off to the parents!
I think this is probably the most brilliant way to raise a genius. Let them explore their intellect in their own way, while keeping what is the best of humanity... Our childhood and imagination. Genius +imagination =...? I don't know, but I know it will amaze.
imagine that there are people in this comment section that call his parents dumb for holding him back smh
Maybe not genius, but this kid is driven, well-rounded, certainly gifted, and articulate. Definitely has a future if he can apply his knowledge and stay as sharp as he is now.
Julian A but his iq is genius. 140 and above is genius
IQ is kind of useless. Apparently my IQ is like 160 but I don't believe in IQ so it's meaningless
You probably took a 5 minute test online that gives everyone a genious iq. He took an actual test.
Maybe so, but who cares? Every IQ Test carries the same weight IMO. Worthless and not a very good indication of education, level of genius, or potential for success. It means you can read some patterns/know some number stuff. So what? Jaxon's IQ is meaningless unless he can apply his knowledge somewhere. He doesn't seem to be doing anything with his genius, so it's just useless.
Take Terrence Tao, for example. He never took an IQ Test because of how useless an IQ actually is. Tao is one of the greatest mathematicians in the world currently, and a Fields Medalist. He is solving Prime Gaps with insane mathematical implications. At age 13, he won Gold at the Mathematics Olympiad. That's real achievement. Why isn't Jaxon going to MIT at the age of 13 like those 5 other kids currently doing it? If he has such a genius IQ it should be a cinch.
It's because IQ does not matter whatsoever.
Julian A I agree, I think he is highly intelligent but a genius? That’s a big word. My 14 year old son is highly intelligent as well and he does extremely well in school, always high honors and excellent in math and science but is he a genius? I don’t think so. He is bright, hard worker and determined
I worked as a maths tutor for a long enough time to be totally outclassed by a young teen, ten years my junior. He asked me to ask him a hard question. I gave him a double digit multiplied by a decimal and he got the answer in half the time it took me. Some kids are just great at this sort of stuff and don't hate it and other kids have different interests and strengths.
God bless him and his parents they are doing right by him to keep him grounded,what a beautiful soul he is.
