I met Kim Peek twice. He remembered me the second time even though it had been a few years. He was a sweet, warm man with an amazing mind. His wonderful father’s sacrifice to be his full-time caretaker should be praised along with Kim’s memory!
I once met a woman in a homeless shelter and watched her as she pencil sketched a very detailed portrait of a young Queen Elizabeth II as she looked on the day of her Coronation. She did this intricate portrait with her EYES CLOSED. She later told me that she never puts her signature on any of her portraits because she doesn't take credit for any of them. She told me; "They come from some other place."
Well fyi, most schizo/ mentally ill ppl were super intelligent, A students, with extordinary talents.... not uncommon at all... its part of the defects of the human brain.... sad , makes you wonder when u see a homeless/ unfortunate soul, wat extraordinary things they may/ can/will hav accomplished,,
Also accepting, encouraging environment most definitely plays a huge role as well! Harder for one to grow or thrive in an abusive, toxic environment. I'm sure nurture, love, protection, encouragement definitely plays a huge part. Esp to ones psych/growth. + development, personality, emotional intelligence, confidence, self Esteem, etc. Not everyone Gets as Lucky as to have a decent environment! big props to those parents. 🤗
The mom of the first girl has a genuinely solid reason for her way of raising her child. Let them focus and harness their amazing talent to channel it towards something important in the future
This is the Jewish ways of raising their young, let them become what God wills them to be not what we will them to be. But this video is not based on the Jewish nature of living and so be warned.
@@scorphkclark9122 right-o, I don't know how anyone is supposed to know what God wants of them, so 🤷. Sure, if I had a voice in my head telling me to paint, and developed a fantastic talent, that sounds great, but that hardly describes most people's lives, don't you think? Just seems incredibly unhelpful to most people to tell them "just do what God wants you to do" What did God tell you to do? Cause I'm pretty sure they haven't said anything to me
@@scorphkclark9122 Hmm….so this “god” you’re referring to, “wills” heroin addicts to become heroin addicts? Or alcoholics to become alcoholics? Or poor people to be poor their whole lives? Or even worse…serial killers to become serial killers, because they LOVE what they do! That’s why they keep doing it! In fact, many of them CLAIM they’re doing “god’s will”! And they believe it EVERY BIT as fervently as does the young painter prodigy! They can’t ALL be right…but they can ALL be wrong!
I think other basic skills should be taught also. Her parents aren't going to live forever. Someday she may have to go to the store by herself and won't be able to calculate the tax or change and that's sad.
Depends on the case to be honest. For the pianist is rather the opposite IMO, parents who wish they were genius, reflecting their wishes on their kid. For the chemistry kid, the parent also seems to be a big influence, he is a genius don't get me wrong, but his father stated that this comes inherently, implying he's also a unexploited genius, thus why he does it on their son. Donno man, not so nice to me
I absolutely love how majority of these parents are just allowing their kids to grow their talents, at the kids request, they're not forcing them into it like you see on most gifted kids shows
Lmfak sorry yes and no. I am born and raised American and I see that America is somehow adopting the Jewish way of raising children. Why I don't have the slightest clue but it is good. Why becauseetting children follow what they see is true is the truest way to bring up a child let God guide the children not men.
Except for the pianist's parents. He came to his father for approval after the jazz session and the father implied that he had not done his best. The boy was so tired and had a back ache, and had tears in his eyes when he realised he didn't perform at peak level. That boy will probably not grow up to be a happy adult. He was expected to excel since birth, and it shows in the way he talks and thinks.
@@halcyonsikes7018 I disagree. My parents always told me how smart I was and blah blah. Looking back, I was a normal intelligence kid that felt like I had higher standards set. If they would've seen my grades and said "you can do better" I think I would've been disappointed at the time, but appreciative later. The father said what he did because he knows his son is capable of more. His son already knows that, he expressed it himself.
@@Malicious2013 I don't think you should compare yourself to that kid.. This is not the same childhood at all. What happened in that video was not a parent encouraging a typical unmotivated kid with avarage intelligence. This video shows a child that has already reached his limit and is pushed even further.
I looked up Kim Peek and was devastated to learn that he died in 2009 from a heart attack and his father Fran died in 2014. Breaks my heart knowing they were trying to plan for Fran’s death and Kim’s care but instead Fran had to bury his son who he had cared for all his life 😔 RIP Fran and Kim Peek
Oh, sad news of today. Unconditionally, the world gets a wee bit smaller. Thx for the post Tia. RIP from Los Angeles, California, USA I remain, Sentebey at 78 years old.
Oh really... they died?..... 😢. Both were brilliant, father and son. Wish I had met them. This love from father to son and reverse touched me deeply. That moment, dad with the patch on his cheek, telling Kim: No cancer... and Kim replied: Okay dad. 😭.
@@aarde7036 I know I was also very moved by their story. I’m sure the father was devastated to lose his son but at least he knows he was always cared for
I feel so bad for that little boy at 31:23 -- he felt like he failed everybody and almost broke down crying. His standards are so high he won't accept how brilliant he is even after exhaustion and tiredness sets in. I wish I could tell him how wonderful he really was.
Go back and watch it again. His dad touched his face over and over again with such loving energy . His son was reenergized and decided to continue. His Dad knows him. loves and supports him. It is obvious that he is not pushing him . I thought he was perfect with his son.
when the mom said that kids should focus their energy into field in which they are interested in. i agree 100%. people who have amazing skills like these practice them at such a young age they are a part of them into adulthood weather they know it or not.. those paintings were Beautiful btw!!
i wrote short stories, could draw anything, other talents. all gone. you need parents & schools to push & rcocognise these abilities. not become just another sheep,number..like the guy with brain damage. people have had head trauma,to the side,& woke up genius. what does that tell you.. i know for a fact,we have dna,turned off. put 2 & 2 together.. the girl painter. might be getting messages from a higher source,,but not god, do you belive in b/foot.?. they talk to you in your head..fact
Same, I could pick up on almost anything I became interested in art being one of the first and martial arts next followed by science and math but the main ones I focus on now are martial arts and mechanics. I wish I would have never stoped drawing but I got to caught up in the world and adulting now I feel as if I can draw a thing
Loved the Mama’s response regarding her daughter’s childhood, so true. She’s learning, growing, enjoying true nature, loved on by family and developing her spirituality in her own way. It’s an absolute beautiful almost perfect childhood. She seems genuinely happy. Truly happy. Her family also seems to be very supportive, loving and humble. I’m sure they may receive some negative feedback bc theres money being made, but this is not Hollywood. She is not surrounded by filth, ill intentioned ego driven types, she is being cared for and allowed to flourish. Most of us don’t understand what is going on inside her to push her to create the art, seems as if her family has been able to cater to her unbelievable talent as well as keep her grounded in family. I really adore her story. Such a beautiful girl and her art is breathtaking. I kept going back and looking at her pieces. Exquisite. Hope she is still doing well today.
I have a question. It seems completely off topic, but I’m trying to figure something out here. For the family with the painting daughter, did anyone else feel like the Mom wears the pants in the relationship?
Parents are showing true support for their children. They are not trying to change them for the sake of the world, but to keep them to who they are. All are inspirations.
"What is the use of education if we do not become creative, concious and truly inteligent." Teachers including parents, mentors etc should be teaching children from young how to think independently, providing them with opportunities to create. Its true to say that most of the human race is unconscious, asleep, however we are good at imitating robots. So inspiring and wonderful to see such creative power by these beautiful beings.
I can't quite seem to put my finger on it, but there is something about this video that says a lot about reality. Maybe there is a number of amazing phenomenons and discoveries that we just haven't realized yet. This gives me hope and excitement in a way. Thanks for sharing
Yes, there is something that we can’t explain. Some guest on my channel here has answers for that. Please feel free to watch if you like. My guest on my channel has mentioned the girl who can draw on this video thats how I landed on this particular episode.
We're conditioned from birth to believe we are ordinary. Videos like this prove we are anything but. The powers that be don't want a self assured society self doubt is the modus operandi and creates a confine of being trapped in mediocrity and a reliance on government.
The piano kid is really great. You can tell he is musical, he understands how to express himself and he cares about phrasing, the emotion he gives trough music more than the technical stuff. It is a stark contrast to the countless "musical genius" kids who are just very technically drilled since they were 3 years old but don't have any musical understanding of what they do. The pressure on him to perform must be unbearable, but I feel that he will be a successful artist one way or another.
My Son had some amazing musical abilities. Without a lesson he just started playing his favorite songs It scared me because he wanted only to play music.
Loved the humility of Ben Pridmore who said 'really it's only since discovering this hobby of mine that I've excelled at anything I suppose'...good for you Ben !
Imagine how much talent and passion would be in the world if our time wasnt wasted being put through school and then work. These kids were so lucky to be supported amd encouraged.
As a young child I was always ahead of my age group in reading and math, because we played games and made it fun. Then in the second year of school the games stopped and out came the books and pens, I then failed the rest of my school life and didn’t even finish high school. Now I’m 27 and studying what I enjoy and once again I’m ahead of class. If you enjoy something you can be great at it.
Yep. I’m a high school junior and I love chemistry. I study chemistry on my own outside of school so I read about topics we haven’t yet learned about in class but that doesn’t matter because I have to stay constrained to what we are doing in class.
@@wm4893 a lot of the geniuses in history certainly were better intellectually equipped than most, but it was there curiosity that made them do great things.
About the first one, the artist.. This has got me feeling kinda guilty. She said once she discovered this "Gift" she never stopped. I too just learned from almost nowhere how to sculpt, all self taught. But the difference is I just randomly stop doing this art, sometimes for months. Thinking about it now I feel this is a waste of a gift on my part. This girl has inspired me to "get it together"! Thank you for that! Also, you work beautiful!
Me and my two younger brothers were gifted each in various fields yet we took a speed reading course at a university and each of us out did the college students. Yet i was the slowest. 2nd oldest was the best. He read the bible 3x during a summer .i test him by reading a random verse and he could tell me book,verse and phrase. He read over 1700 words a min with 85% comprehensive. I read 900 + @ 75%comprehensive yet my abilities were great yet sad with 100 % success. Yet sad. I advice certain military generals. Yet you ever wonder how fbi could arrest 21 terrorist and convict in one year. Lol. No $$$
Big hug for you for finding the path again. There's nothing wrong with taking a break. Everyone has their own phase on doing things. I hope you won't feel that you wasted some years of your life for not pursuing your gift. What's important is that you picked it up again. Good luck on your new journey!
Lian Bergancia Arial's father seems to be living his life vicariously through his son and putting him under a load of pressure. This boy will never know a carefree childhood and that is pretty sad.
I feel so sorry for Ariel. All he wanted was his fathers approval.. Also why is no one talking about how sweet Ben is? I’d love to be friends with him. He made me smile over and over again. All the best to you Ben. I hope you found your way ❤️
I love the relationship between the little pianist/musician his base player. He seems to want to nurture his talent, but he also encourages him in a way that a child should be nurtured
No, the base player was completely out of order and doesn't nurture him at all, told him je was being unprofessional for wanting to stop playing, he is a child and was exhausted. Not encouragement at all.
I agree. They obviously know his personality better than an internet audience does. I agree with another comment I read that said he probably wants that challenge. He's not asking how his performance was just to get flattered. He actually wants to constantly improve.
Seeing a little kid play a piano like that really is an incredible experience. Not quite the same level, but I once had a 6th grade student who shocked me at the end of the year by playing Senbonzakura nearly flawlessly (at full speed) at the end of the year. Didn't even know he played. Blew me away.
@@Dr.Pancho.Tortilla Well it is indeed rare, about a 0.4% chance of being one. But, with a global population around 8 billion, there should be approximately 32 million geniuses across the world, which is a decent amount.
I heard about Akiane yrs & yrs ago when I bought her 1st book after seeing her on a talk show. I still have it. Her gift left a massive impression on me. Beautiful painter & poet! Respect to the parents for supporting their gifts!
@@BorisNoiseChannel Yes, but it's a family business & they're employed by her. They all have their own duties. It only showed a little bit about her business, but they handle everything from book keeping, scheduling events, gallery viewings, packaging & shipping, all her travel etc. The list is much longer, but you get the idea. Imo they earn it instead of a lot of parents of famous children in Hollywood who "manage," their child AND their money.
My niece was gifted with a natural musical ability, following in her mother's footsteps. She learned classical guitar very young. But I don't think she wanted to be just like her mom. She did direct the school choir at a very young age, but then branched out to play tennis and was excellent at that. Then she chose to fly planes. She's thinking of becoming a pilot. She has already completed her solo flights, etc. She's talented in so many areas that she finds it hard to choose! All this, and she's only 20. On top of this she has a large group of friends and is active in church and social activities. So proud of her for aspiring to her potential!
I think the German philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer, gave a good definition of genius: "Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see." Going by this definition, the people shown in this video are indeed talented however they're not geniuses. Leonardo da Vinci is the archetypal genius. He was a polymath who was, in some areas, several hundred years ahead of his time.
It’s funny that this comment barely has any “likes” or comments. After being up for a year. It’s too intelligent for the average dolt to wrap their heads around (and probably their emotions as well).
I sense a strong odor of envy from within and without your comment. Are you offended by the effect of this video which causes all non-geniouses to feel like a baboon with a learning disability?
Gabbi is such a great dad. I wish my own father was more like him. If my interests didnt include cars or football he didnt want anything to do with them. Once I hit teenager age and stopped trying to impress him we would go days without speaking. Its so important that parents take interest in what their children are passionate about and give them every resource available within their means to cultivate that passion.
That rain man is incredible. Many people were super impressed with my memory as a young child (I could watch a movie a handful of times and have it not only memorized but recite it word for word)... but my memory is nothing compared to that rain man. He’s fascinating... especially considering his handicaps.
@@beaconlight4720 but I couldn’t memorize my times tables or tell you more than 2 American Vice Presidents to save my life 😂 It’s funny how much information we can absorb (& retain) if interested, but if it’s something that bores me, it’s incredibly hard to remember. I can still probably recite word for word the entire movies “the little mermaid”, “sleeping beauty”, all those Swedish pippi long stocking movies, the huggabunch, numerous golden book movies. And more I’m sure 😂 I remember my father (who was actually WAY smarter than me) was fascinated how I can see pictures and movies in my head. My father was incredibly smart but in a very different way. He had aspergers. He wasn’t able to see pictures in his head at all, therefore he had an extremely hard time recognizing people he doesn’t talk to often. I use to weird my husband out a lot. We’d watch movies and I’d say “hey that’s Robert Mitchum” or whatever. That’s an example I remember. We use to watch John Wayne westerns and I recognized him right away. Even though he was probably 50 years older. My husband was like “no way”…. It’s not him. Sure enough looked it up. I could always remember faces. I remember a lot of things apparently lots of people don’t. I remember as a kid being embarrassed that I remembered nerdy songs and I’d deny remembering so they didn’t think I spent all day focusing on that stuff 😂. But I didn’t have to focus. It’s just some stuff, once it’s in my head, it’s there forever. No effort. But about my father, he was incredibly smart. Smartest person I’ve ever met hands down anyways, but couldn’t see pictures in his head. I remember one time when I was a teenager I literally dyed my hair red. It looked hideous. At first I was nervous what he’d say. But after about a week of him saying nothing it actually annoyed me he didn’t notice. I finally stopped him one morning and said “DAD!!!! LOOK AT ME”…. “Haven’t u noticed ANYTHING different about me”??????….. He was surprised my determination and looked me up and down for awhile. He finally said “I don’t know, did you change your hair or something”?? 😂 Mind you I’ve been very blonde since a baby and he’s raised me alone my whole life 😂 Just so funny he barely even knows what I look like and he was weird weird smart 😂
I just watched Ariel Lanyi's (that kid now grown up) performance from April 2021 of Scriabin's piano sonata and Szymanowski variations, and I must say he has become an amazing pianist, and has a much better memory than anybody else featured in this video of geniuses.
I’m devastated. I just looked them up and Kim Peek died from a heart attack in 2009 and Fran died in 2014. They were thinking about what to do after Fran died but instead he had to bury his son he had cared for all his life 😔
Greedy because he sold his daughter paintings with her permission and then bought a house for all of them with his daughter's career in mind? I wish my father was that kind of greedy.
The conspiracist in me wonders if the dad is painting these or has someone else painting these and using her as a gimmick to generate hype, sales etc. The first red flag was her saying she sees heaven and also they never show her painting anything.
A child in a late night Jazz Club. Accomplishing the keys , is note worthy. An artist who pours out his soul in key, who relives his life's emotions in key... Epic
The pianist child broke my heart when he was playing late at night and was tired and they didn’t want to let him stop playing. Idk just worries me if he is being taken advantage of by adults because of his musical genius
I don’t see him as a genius, but he is a child prodigy. He is someone who was nurtured from birth and has been learning and practicing long hours, and that has speeded up his timeline and perfected his craft. He will join other virtuosos by dint of cumulative time. However, the key was the exposure in infancy, his father’s drive, and his son’s modeling of that drive. Reminds me of Tiger Woods and his father. Both fathers created their masterpieces.
I love how the boy always asks the bass player "is this professional?". He truly values his partners opinion. As for the dad I know some think he's harsh, and maybe he thinks he means well but he can definitely practice being a bit less harsh, he's just a little kid. And shouldn't force him to perform at night shows. He could practice on complimenting his son that's for sure especially in public. And comfort him when he's being down in himself
Yep, that's the one think I didn't like either. The narrator said you will not find an audience for that type of music at 4pm ... of course you will. You schedule the concert at that time, and if someone is a true fan, he will make time to attend.
This piano kid.. how? He seems made of something whole and intelligent. As if he's already lived. Like an old soul has taken form in his body. How can a child come already programmed with these abilities? There's something to how humans are created that is mind-blowing. It seems something to do with energy and intelligence that is already present, somehow their brains come already wired in a way that would only come as a result of a lifetime of experience. Savants and geniuses tell us that there is so much more to understand about what we are and it's amazing.
I like what you said in your comment but it brought up an old old documentary I watched a while back about the acquired savant which is entirely different they usually acquire some special ability after such a trauma as a struck by lightning in a coma for 15 years a simple fall down and bump their head and wake up and become somebody completely different interesting that we can be wired that way from conception and then be wired that way, by fault...🤔
I was reading a book that I lost. It was by a philosopher named Immanuel Kant. And, from what I read before I lost my book, is that we are born with knowledge and understanding of certain things. Were crazy beings.
The Child Has Natural Talent, But This Is Simple Memorizing, Not Genius & Is 100% In Programming. Living Life Vicariously Through Offspring. His Father, Who Used Him As A Tool To Line His Pockets & The Pockets Of His Music Industry Friends. Harsh Criticism & Insults. Being Told You Are Either A Child Or An Adult / Professional Or Amateur. Taken To Seedy Bars For Old Drunks To Have A Spectacle At The Expense Of A Child That Clearly Needs Some Rest And Less Domination By Controlling Adults Without Talent.
Ben really makes me feel so happy. I don’t really know why, he just genuinely makes me feel hopeful for my future, young prodigies dont make me feel hopeful for my future even if I am proud and happy for them. Ben just seems so lovely and I hope to be like him when I grow up, I wish the best for him!
Yes, he certainly is. I teared at the thought of his living father passing one day. Leaving him to be cared for by his sibling. There's no love like a parents love. I Pray the world will always be kind and nurturing to him.
Oh gosh, I love Ariel, he acts like a real DIVA the way he speaks, moves and dresses up. and answers questions in a mature manner esp. about professionalism.
"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." ―Albert Einstein
@@benuenutocellini2691 - I did; but definitely - not everyone is a genius. There are many - who are, or would be - if they would be in the right environment. So I partially agree with the statement.
Extraordinary, touching, very overwhelming abilities but the young pianist was particularly touching when he checked at the end of his last jaz debut "was it professional" at the tender age of around 10.
Exactly what I just heard and then saw your comment…weird. But as a jazz musician myself, I really really admire him asking that. Because I’ve certainly been very unprofessional in my music career, so…makes me as a 30 year old stop and think..from a 10 year old! Always a good thing.
I'm here for the same reason. The last comment by Areil. But what struck me was the man he asked "how was it?" To didn't seem to give him much praise at all. As a matter of fact, his facial expression was more like you did "so so"
Love that the world is still producing people like these. Life is brutal, doubly so for those of intellect that see the world as it is. Stay hopeful, don't forget how to human... always tempting
The way the father didn't comfort Ariel when he was worried about his performance because he was tired touched a nerve. He was going to cry he didn't even want to be on film. He could of at least comforted him in public and critiqued him in private.
coz the father knows his son is a musical genius. Ariel just wants confirmation 😂 kidding.. there are people who are not very showy about their emotions in public, pretty sure he is supportive of his son 101%.. this is more than what a video can capture
I have a patient that exhibits the exact same way-recalls the day of the week you were born, when you’ll retire, what happened on what day/year, really into video games etc. but is also physically disabled. I can’t believe that it’s not more common than I thought it was! What rare gems.
When I read these comments, I'm amazed by how many geniuses there are who can judge a stranger's character from what they see of them for a few minutes in a documentary. Astonishing!
I think when it comes to music, the most important thing is to have fun with it. You can be professional, you can be precise, but really enjoying what you do makes it all worthwhile.
A lot of these were pretty cool and impressive, but man, pushing that kid to stay up late and perform while tired and then telling him he could do better just felt cruel.
If anything they were pushing him to just sleep. He wanted to be professional and stay up. Kid said he could do better, dad agreed because he knew that if he weren't sleep deprived it would be. Dad was letting the kid learn his limits and it was one night.
I agree with Pete. I didn't sense his father pushing him in either direction but leaving it up to him, but he could have been more encouraging than "We'll talk about it (how you did) later."
He didn't want to lie to his child and way it was amazing. His child is too mature to realise when he is being lied to. They clearly have a very strong relationship which is why the dad wanted to tell him the truth, he said they can discuss it later because he didn't want to upset his son infront of all these people. He was being a good father.
It is cruel to say that to a triggered millenial, but mature people want the truth and driven people want to do better. I realize this is alien to most in our culture, it was less alien 50 years ago.
Raise your kids with discipline in an honest environment that promotes intellectualism and creativity and you will have successful children. The reason there are so many critics in the comments section is because they are painfully average and come from painfully average families. The don't understand what it takes to excel at something and truly master a craft.
For some reason time is always such a {◇▪︎☆ or something. Some people are so dang blasted impatient when we take time to practice a skill for something we love doing. I don't get it. In a way I'm jealous of Akiane. Her pictures of children absolutely melt me. One of our fellow RUclipsrs made some damning comment about her being schizophrenic. You pry saw that..Akiane is so young yet, God just keep a special eye on her but she definitely has It. Our fellow viewer comes off so bitter, IDK... Kim and Fran Peake, I for one will always love those men. Piano Man, er Piano Lad.. yes.
5:36 absolutely incredible, both in terms of the visual effect and the creativity...this child creates better art than most adult professional artists, imo.
@@I05-e4s What do u think i have been looking at idiot.. she's still the same, she hasn't learned much apart from her rendering skills that got a bit better. Subject matter is still kitsch and extremely dull. This is what happens if you keep painting tacky stock photos and never take an actual class on composition, color theory etc and think you're good enough. because she aint it chief.. just hype and fluff, nowhere near a great artist, nowhere near!
I don’t see any comments on him, but honestly I love that guy who memorizes the decks of cards through images, because although I’m definitely not at his skill, him explaining the images he saw and how in his head it correlates to what the cards are made like.. complete sense to me. I mainly use more mnemonic devices, but whenever people ask me how I remember something at school, I always say something where people kinda look at me with confused eyebrows like “huh?? How do those correlate??” And I then have to try and explain haha But kinda growing up being ostracized for that, or looked at weirdly for that, it’s so nice to see someone else’s brain work that way and I don’t feel alone :)
Her studio is full of beautiful art. Millions in prints. Those originals need to be in a vault. Can you imagine owning one of those real paintings and how much I would be worth.
I all honesty. Her studio should be the biggest room in the house, that's an incredibly small room for the girl that's creating the work that feeds that family.
This is why the mind is such a beautiful dimension. Remember, genius is a word that educators use to explain the unexplainable. What most people don't recognize is genius, is based on their destiny. Not the material wealth that the "educated" communities hope for. Communities agenda based mentality, is based on work and is destructive, because it forces education, to a mind that hungers for it. This produces the good and bad mentality, that most teenagers must overcome. The human experience peaks at your teens, the remaining years of your life is based on pursuing your destiny, through your genius as an artist or craftsman
The painting shown at 3:53 is exactly who met me at the gate and told me I had to go back. This young lady, Arkiana, is truly blessed with a grand gift that reaches from beyond here.
I agree with the first parents. When a child has a talent that talent should be honed. A genius at painting should not have to study subjects that dont pertain to their talents. incredible talents should be honed to its finest point.
@@jonavuka - You speak truth. The child will benefit from reading and writing (or typing) and applied math. You need to be able to manage your accounts and not be swindled. The basics are necessary for that. Critical thinking would not hurt. Lots of people are very good at what they are good at, maybe even "genius", but take them out of their element and they have little or no common sense. Not good.
hopper727rs like when i was in primary school i used to look for more advanced books out of curiosity. I thought the math solutions were a bit dumb, so I'd try to invent better ways. Like calculating cube roots. Calculus, i still have no idea what that's about
i found it interesting that the child pianist clearly cares a lot about his level of professionalism. if thats not the influence from his father, it seems very type-a for a child. dont get me wrong, he was adorable and insanely talented - despite what he thinks, he is already a genius. but i think he is obviously a perfectionist and has a strict work ethic code of sorts. That will no doubt make a lot of things much harder for him. but perhaps thats what some geniuses long for - actual challenges.
My interest is in improv jazz because as a pianist who also plays like 8 other instruments, I didn't know I had perfect pitch until I was 16. I just thought that everyone is like that. then I found that jazz composing and improv jazz were much harder for me, I just couldn't get it. My jazz professor told me something very interesting: it's usually harder to pick up especially for people that have perfect pitch. Can anyone help explain that more?.
Jenna: I am an amateur of music. I've not had your training or experience.. I'm a true lover & fan of music. You need to grasp what Jazz represents as an expression. It is not classical. It seeks to capture the emotions and challenges of life. It is improvisational, and that means you set the note for the next direction that piece will take. You must access your emotion - you cannot use logic for Jazz.
So God gave her visions so she could charge $300K for an original painting and her family could buy a $1M house? I don’t call that “serving others” as her father so humbly stated.
You people are the most judgmental idiots I've ever listened to. Do you think her parents aren't doing a good job because they use her success to provide a better life for her? When she was painting at eight years old, were they supposed to let her sale her paintings at yard sales so she could get fresh paints and the buyers could sell the paintings for thousands of dollars and her family could do whatever they did to make ends meet? Of course not. They helped her make a crapload of money off her talents and bought a big house that SHE lives in with the people she loves most in the world and they all owe it to her. For those who criticize how they handle their money or tell them they should donate it all to charity, are you donating all your money to charity? Doubt it.
That boy said it all "I don't play fast, I understand the music" That's how I feel about music. I was born with the ability to be good at music(perfect pitch, quick to pick up and learn) and played piano and guitar since I was 5 years old. But dont think that doesn't come without practice. Everyone wants me to play my "fastest" piece but I think the best pieces I play are harmonically beautiful pieces and understanding that relationship.
My hubby iq was tested at age 12. He scored 160.. He got his Ph.D with honors at age 24. I think he is a genius. He is a Nuclear Physicist. Me, I’m just normal!😂
Seems to me to. Also how his father stood behind the curtains and reasured him that hes doing fine, i wonder if he only does this with this certain talent at certain moments.
If she is truly channeling direct from source consciousness (ie god) then her style of painting is spot on. Modern art as you described it is not beautiful. Beauty (which is what her paintings are) is an outward/visual expression of our direct connection to god. Modern art does not have this connection to god/higher consciousness and as such does not illicit the high vibrational emotional response that paintings such as these do. Probably why for many of us modern art leaves us cold.
@@felipemonteagudo2165 so she gets to spend her days doing something she loves, and that’s exploitation? Or should she be in mainstream schooling being taught what to think, and then onto university to be shackled with debt and come out with the hive mind woke programming? To then find her degree is only going to get her into a dull company on minimal wage where she slowly dies a little every day (and that’s if she’s lucky). I know which life I’d choose for my child. And those paintings capture the beauty of life, might not win awards from the art world, but real people appreciate it. The art world prefers monsters like Marina Abramovich!
Telling a 10 year old that late at night it's "unprofessional" to admit that he's too tired to give his best performance is just abusive IMO. I doubt there was one person in that room who would not have been sympathetic and understanding and accepted that what they had enjoyed was as much as they could expect from a 10yo at that hour.

There are good people on both sides, there are bad people on both sides. It's the same everywhere.

I also hope that there are enough good Palestinians to be willing to reconcile and bring a lasting peace to the region.
I'm a painter that was considered a prodigy growing up. I can attest that I've moved my hand on paper and canvas with brushes, pencils and chalk more often than I slept.
Beyond amazing, by far the best artist, that i have ever seen. I wonder how, and why, a child is given this gift, i believe no one ever on this planet, has had her ability, really beyond any scientific explanation. Virtually she can produce a painting, as good and detailed as a high quality photo. Brilliant doesn't describe her, she has a level, higher than a genius. I for one, can't believe what i'm seeing, i have no words to descibe her ability, it is just to amazing. Well done .

Very interesting. Our neighbours' daughter Gill has autism, she's in her late 20s. One day when we handed our house letterbox key to her mum (they help us to collect mails when we are away) and told her we'd be back by this particular date, the mum asked us what day would that be, Gill, standing behind her mum within 3 seconds and said the day. My wife immediately took out her phone and checked, Gill was absolutely correct. This was one of the many times and Gill is always correct.
The jaw-dropping impact of this artist girl's paintings is astounding. And I have only ever seen them on this video. Perhaps there is another Michelangelo among us today.
Omg that painting of the baby and butterflies was amazing 💕 Kim is brilliant, it's just amazing how the mind works ❤️the children are amazing. I find the child that studies chemistry has a father who pushes his choice. I understand if he is smarter than his class, I had issues with my own children because of this but I never pushed them into doing following a career. I did however push them to learn French and Portuguese LOL French because we are Canadian and Portuguese well because their father couldn't speak English LoL
I don't think you can prove pushing. It might look that way because of differences but in that environment it's not that unusual. With someone with a gift, and supportive clever family, it would turn up a lot more often if we didn't make a practice of trying to keep people in "age appropriate" boxes. For example where I live there would be no place in higher education for a younger child. They are stifled
All of the parents here did wonderful job. They saw the potential and supported the kids. I feel like so many parents are keeping their children down and ignoring their talents.
I hv alwayß believed Everyone was born with a gift this gift Is from God our creator To hv a gift cultivated At early age would be Great. However, idle time I call it as school Studying history, math Or something you won't Nd is ridiculous. To Focus on ones gifts Don't nd study it nds Encouragement. God Bless you gifted People. Gods Love Is unique.
When any individual, child or adult, is blessed in a such special way with a genius talent or skill, there should be some way that they can pursue those abilities for the good of humanity as a whole.
I have a genius IQ and I have so much trouble with "normal" people I went so fast in school that I just was left to self teach myself advanced math and science, and I have excelled. Graduating from an engineering school with high honors. The good things: I have the job I always wanted. I work with highly resistant bacteria infections. I help track them down, find the source, provide a remedial path. The downside : I struggle though with my personal life. I'm alone. I hate that I have dreams about calculus and math, I can see how physics and math work in the biological world, how infinite realities exist but we are fixed in one trajectory that we call "life". I dunno. I wish more people were accepting that I might see and do things differently bc of how my mind works, but my heart and soul are still human and would like to be accepted and loved. I just don't seem to be able to relate well to people or enjoy the things they do. So, I just function on my job and try to make the world a little better than I found it.
YO, Val! I think you sound quite normal! Don't stress, call me if you want to chat I'll leave my number got to go pray now. 6am n 6pm daily for world peace, health and happiness hope u can join us, God Bless X
Your existence sounds lonely, as you already know. Do you find any commonality with previous mathematical geniuses, like Newton? Is the Mensa crowd is too slow for you? Many people end up living for their work, no matter the IQ. Antibiotic resistant bacteria is going to be a large problem in the near future, right?
I'm still impressed by this documentary. Must be 15 years or so since i first watched this. Might be even longer. It was a superb documentary. I wished i could turn back clock 20 - 25 years.

Akiane is a wonderfully talented artist. 🎨 There's no doubt that she is being guided by a higher power. 🙏 Just looking at her paintings gives me a sense of peace. 🕊
@@verabolton the girl loves to paint and it truly is a gift from God. God gives talents to people to thrive with. Some see that and some don’t. He has plans of prosperity for you and I too.

All that effort went to nought the day he keeled over and, in the end, everything was forgotten the day his brain went to dust. If a book averages 250-500 pages, each page about 2KB, then 12,000 books would be about 12GB. You can get USB's now as large as 2TB, or about 160 times larger than all the books he memorized. Back it up, transfer it when old media becomes worn and it stays around.
Its not force. The child is self driven. The child is devoted and disciplined. After each gig he asks " is it professional" He obviously judges his ability and pushes his own limits. In Fact he said he takes criticisms from his teachers and not his parents because his teachers are smarter.

The devotion of Kim Peeks' father to his son was so unconditional, selfless, and pure.
Kim Peek died of a heart attack in his home in 2009 at the age of 58. Here's the fellow's wiki page:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Peek#
I met Kim Peek twice. He remembered me the second time even though it had been a few years. He was a sweet, warm man with an amazing mind. His wonderful father’s sacrifice to be his full-time caretaker should be praised along with Kim’s memory!
I once met a woman in a homeless shelter and watched her as she pencil sketched a very detailed portrait of a young Queen Elizabeth II as she looked on the day of her Coronation. She did this intricate portrait with her EYES CLOSED. She later told me that she never puts her signature on any of her portraits because she doesn't take credit for any of them. She told me; "They come from some other place."
You're hillarious you must be Hallucinate or Daydreaming lady
That’s part of her gimmick. You think she didn’t practice doing that many many many times?!?
Well fyi, most schizo/ mentally ill ppl were super intelligent, A students, with extordinary talents.... not uncommon at all... its part of the defects of the human brain.... sad , makes you wonder when u see a homeless/ unfortunate soul, wat extraordinary things they may/ can/will hav accomplished,,
There has always been a fine line between genius and madness
Just an incredible comment, whether true or false
Passion is key. Nobody can be a genius in something that bores them.
Very well said.
Not true. Passion is not the way, it’s ego. Just do the things you love. Doesn’t need passion or anything.
True i agree😊
Also accepting, encouraging environment most definitely plays a huge role as well! Harder for one to grow or thrive in an abusive, toxic environment.
I'm sure nurture, love, protection, encouragement definitely plays a huge part. Esp to ones psych/growth. + development, personality, emotional intelligence, confidence, self Esteem, etc. Not everyone Gets as Lucky as to have a decent environment! big props to those parents. 🤗
Success,
Every "genius" has handlers behind the scenes who pull the strings of gEnIuS
The mom of the first girl has a genuinely solid reason for her way of raising her child. Let them focus and harness their amazing talent to channel it towards something important in the future
This is the Jewish ways of raising their young, let them become what God wills them to be not what we will them to be. But this video is not based on the Jewish nature of living and so be warned.
@@scorphkclark9122 right-o, I don't know how anyone is supposed to know what God wants of them, so 🤷. Sure, if I had a voice in my head telling me to paint, and developed a fantastic talent, that sounds great, but that hardly describes most people's lives, don't you think? Just seems incredibly unhelpful to most people to tell them "just do what God wants you to do"
What did God tell you to do? Cause I'm pretty sure they haven't said anything to me
The artist was my favorite.
She also seemed happiest unlike the young pianist who is already suffering from some level of anxiety,.
@@scorphkclark9122 Hmm….so this “god” you’re referring to, “wills” heroin addicts to become heroin addicts? Or alcoholics to become alcoholics? Or poor people to be poor their whole lives?
Or even worse…serial killers to become serial killers, because they LOVE what they do! That’s why they keep doing it! In fact, many of them CLAIM they’re doing “god’s will”!
And they believe it EVERY BIT as fervently as does the young painter prodigy!
They can’t ALL be right…but they can ALL be wrong!
I think other basic skills should be taught also. Her parents aren't going to live forever. Someday she may have to go to the store by herself and won't be able to calculate the tax or change and that's sad.
I don't know how someone can be humble and cocky but the piano kid has found a balance between both
I'd say it's more that he knows his worth in his profession.
At that age? He's so wise
Poor kid.
lol, yeah. he did
Wht so special, there tons in china.
One things about all these geniuses is they have supportive parents. A great gift.
The children may be geniuses but the parents are the real heroes for always supporting them and being there for them.
They will when money is involved
I wish I had that
@@jimboslice3451 have you heard of love? Probably not,you are most definitely not a genius and your parents dont gaf abt you
Depends on the case to be honest. For the pianist is rather the opposite IMO, parents who wish they were genius, reflecting their wishes on their kid.
For the chemistry kid, the parent also seems to be a big influence, he is a genius don't get me wrong, but his father stated that this comes inherently, implying he's also a unexploited genius, thus why he does it on their son.
Donno man, not so nice to me
@@Gummiees I agree
I absolutely love how majority of these parents are just allowing their kids to grow their talents, at the kids request, they're not forcing them into it like you see on most gifted kids shows
Lmfak sorry yes and no. I am born and raised American and I see that America is somehow adopting the Jewish way of raising children. Why I don't have the slightest clue but it is good. Why becauseetting children follow what they see is true is the truest way to bring up a child let God guide the children not men.
Except for the pianist's parents. He came to his father for approval after the jazz session and the father implied that he had not done his best. The boy was so tired and had a back ache, and had tears in his eyes when he realised he didn't perform at peak level. That boy will probably not grow up to be a happy adult. He was expected to excel since birth, and it shows in the way he talks and thinks.
@@halcyonsikes7018 that's why i said 'majority' and not 'all'
@@halcyonsikes7018 I disagree. My parents always told me how smart I was and blah blah. Looking back, I was a normal intelligence kid that felt like I had higher standards set. If they would've seen my grades and said "you can do better" I think I would've been disappointed at the time, but appreciative later. The father said what he did because he knows his son is capable of more. His son already knows that, he expressed it himself.
@@Malicious2013 I don't think you should compare yourself to that kid.. This is not the same childhood at all. What happened in that video was not a parent encouraging a typical unmotivated kid with avarage intelligence. This video shows a child that has already reached his limit and is pushed even further.
I looked up Kim Peek and was devastated to learn that he died in 2009 from a heart attack and his father Fran died in 2014. Breaks my heart knowing they were trying to plan for Fran’s death and Kim’s care but instead Fran had to bury his son who he had cared for all his life 😔 RIP Fran and Kim Peek

Oh really... they died?..... 😢. Both were brilliant, father and son. Wish I had met them. This love from father to son and reverse touched me deeply. That moment, dad with the patch on his cheek, telling Kim: No cancer... and Kim replied: Okay dad. 😭.
@@aarde7036 I know I was also very moved by their story. I’m sure the father was devastated to lose his son but at least he knows he was always cared for

That makes me sad. Such a phenomenal person.
I feel so bad for that little boy at 31:23 -- he felt like he failed everybody and almost broke down crying. His standards are so high he won't accept how brilliant he is even after exhaustion and tiredness sets in. I wish I could tell him how wonderful he really was.
his father is living his dream through his child.
His dad should have praised him. Fathers a coward.
just started already reading comments.. and damn sad. i dont get people. humans are such filth even to their own kids
I doubt he’d believe you either
Go back and watch it again. His dad touched his face over and over again with such loving energy . His son was reenergized and decided to continue. His Dad knows him. loves and supports him. It is obvious that he is not pushing him . I thought he was perfect with his son.
when the mom said that kids should focus their energy into field in which they are interested in. i agree 100%. people who have amazing skills like these practice them at such a young age they are a part of them into adulthood weather they know it or not.. those paintings were Beautiful btw!!
i wrote short stories, could draw anything, other talents. all gone. you need parents & schools to push & rcocognise these abilities. not become just another sheep,number..like the guy with brain damage. people have had head trauma,to the side,& woke up genius. what does that tell you.. i know for a fact,we have dna,turned off. put 2 & 2 together.. the girl painter. might be getting messages from a higher source,,but not god, do you belive in b/foot.?. they talk to you in your head..fact
Same, I could pick up on almost anything I became interested in art being one of the first and martial arts next followed by science and math but the main ones I focus on now are martial arts and mechanics.

Loved the Mama’s response regarding her daughter’s childhood, so true. She’s learning, growing, enjoying true nature, loved on by family and developing her spirituality in her own way. It’s an absolute beautiful almost perfect childhood. She seems genuinely happy. Truly happy. Her family also seems to be very supportive, loving and humble. I’m sure they may receive some negative feedback bc theres money being made, but this is not Hollywood. She is not surrounded by filth, ill intentioned ego driven types, she is being cared for and allowed to flourish. Most of us don’t understand what is going on inside her to push her to create the art, seems as if her family has been able to cater to her unbelievable talent as well as keep her grounded in family. I really adore her story. Such a beautiful girl and her art is breathtaking. I kept going back and looking at her pieces. Exquisite. Hope she is still doing well today.
mashallah
Shidd them bills paid don’t let them fool ya ,if your child paid the bills you’d layback and chill to ✌🏾
I have a question. It seems completely off topic, but I’m trying to figure something out here. For the family with the painting daughter, did anyone else feel like the Mom wears the pants in the relationship?
Is there an update on these ppl?
Inspiration drives me.
Parents are showing true support for their children. They are not trying to change them for the sake of the world, but to keep them to who they are. All are inspirations.

Hi
Sad but true... traditional schooling system takes away the genius abilities within a child :(
Well said.
Genius ability or not, it programs the individual to conform to rules and norms, the manmade evil of society.
"What is the use of education if we do not become creative, concious and truly inteligent."
Teachers including parents, mentors etc should be teaching children from young how to think independently, providing them with opportunities to create.
Its true to say that most of the human race is unconscious, asleep, however we are good at imitating robots.
So inspiring and wonderful to see such creative power by these beautiful beings.

I can't quite seem to put my finger on it, but there is something about this video that says a lot about reality. Maybe there is a number of amazing phenomenons and discoveries that we just haven't realized yet. This gives me hope and excitement in a way. Thanks for sharing
I think in the same way
Yes, there is something that we can’t explain. Some guest on my channel here has answers for that. Please feel free to watch if you like. My guest on my channel has mentioned the girl who can draw on this video thats how I landed on this particular episode.
We're conditioned from birth to believe we are ordinary. Videos like this prove we are anything but. The powers that be don't want a self assured society self doubt is the modus operandi and creates a confine of being trapped in mediocrity and a reliance on government.
The piano kid is really great. You can tell he is musical, he understands how to express himself and he cares about phrasing, the emotion he gives trough music more than the technical stuff. It is a stark contrast to the countless "musical genius" kids who are just very technically drilled since they were 3 years old but don't have any musical understanding of what they do.
The pressure on him to perform must be unbearable, but I feel that he will be a successful artist one way or another.

As a young child I was always ahead of my age group in reading and math, because we played games and made it fun.

Now I’m 27 and studying what I enjoy and once again I’m ahead of class. If you enjoy something you can be great at it.

About the first one, the artist.. This has got me feeling kinda guilty. She said once she discovered this "Gift" she never stopped. I too just learned from almost nowhere how to sculpt, all self taught. But the difference is I just randomly stop doing this art, sometimes for months. Thinking about it now I feel this is a waste of a gift on my part. This girl has inspired me to "get it together"! Thank you for that! Also, you work beautiful!
@Edward Burton Pick up sculpting again even if its something simple, I have the feeling it will save you.
Me and my two younger brothers were gifted each in various fields yet we took a speed reading course at a university and each of us out did the college students.

He read over 1700 words a min with 85% comprehensive. I read 900 + @ 75%comprehensive yet my abilities were great yet sad with 100 % success. Yet sad. I advice certain military generals.

Big hug for you for finding the path again. There's nothing wrong with taking a break. Everyone has their own phase on doing things. I hope you won't feel that you wasted some years of your life for not pursuing your gift. What's important is that you picked it up again. Good luck on your new journey!
Just because you're good at something doesn't mean you have to do it. One needs to have, not only the talent, but the passion for the activity.
asking the boy if he's a genius,and he answered back,I will be one day but not yet. such a humble human being.😍
Lian Bergancia Arial's father seems to be living his life vicariously through his son and putting him under a load of pressure. This boy will never know a carefree childhood and that is pretty sad.

I love the relationship between the little pianist/musician his base player. He seems to want to nurture his talent, but he also encourages him in a way that a child should be nurtured
No, the base player was completely out of order and doesn't nurture him at all, told him je was being unprofessional for wanting to stop playing, he is a child and was exhausted. Not encouragement at all.
I agree. They obviously know his personality better than an internet audience does. I agree with another comment I read that said he probably wants that challenge. He's not asking how his performance was just to get flattered. He actually wants to constantly improve.
Seeing a little kid play a piano like that really is an incredible experience. Not quite the same level, but I once had a 6th grade student who shocked me at the end of the year by playing Senbonzakura nearly flawlessly (at full speed) at the end of the year. Didn't even know he played. Blew me away.

You should see her book. The 1st one. The images are stunning, but the way she explains everything is really speacial.
My niece was gifted with a natural musical ability, following in her mother's footsteps. She learned classical guitar very young. But I don't think she wanted to be just like her mom. She did direct the school choir at a very young age, but then branched out to play tennis and was excellent at that. Then she chose to fly planes. She's thinking of becoming a pilot. She has already completed her solo flights, etc. She's talented in so many areas that she finds it hard to choose! All this, and she's only 20. On top of this she has a large group of friends and is active in church and social activities. So proud of her for aspiring to her potential!
I think the German philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer, gave a good definition of genius:
"Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see."
Going by this definition, the people shown in this video are indeed talented however they're not geniuses.
Leonardo da Vinci is the archetypal genius. He was a polymath who was, in some areas, several hundred years ahead of his time.
It’s funny that this comment barely has any “likes” or comments. After being up for a year. It’s too intelligent for the average dolt to wrap their heads around (and probably their emotions as well).
I sense a strong odor of envy from within and without your comment. Are you offended by the effect of this video which causes all non-geniouses to feel like a baboon with a learning disability?
You're not making a fair comparison. These young geniuses probably compare well to a adolescent DaVinci.
None have reached their full potential, so that's only a 'now' statement. Tomorrow they all may be bona fide.
@Christigoth as goes for all famous people
What a talented piano player that kid is. And so well spoken at that age. Fascinating. Truly an intelligent being.
Man, was that ever uplifting. I actually feel in a better mood after experiencing these precious gifts to the world.
I’ve watched this program a few times, over the past few years, and love sharing it with friends and family. Good for him!
⭐️way to go Kim!⭐️
Gabbi is such a great dad. I wish my own father was more like him. If my interests didnt include cars or football he didnt want anything to do with them. Once I hit teenager age and stopped trying to impress him we would go days without speaking. Its so important that parents take interest in what their children are passionate about and give them every resource available within their means to cultivate that passion.
Here, Here...I hope everyone listens, dear person!
Some people ignore awer real power but is out ther us real
That rain man is incredible.
Many people were super impressed with my memory as a young child (I could watch a movie a handful of times and have it not only memorized but recite it word for word)... but my memory is nothing compared to that rain man. He’s fascinating... especially considering his handicaps.
same here. i could watch a movie and then play it in my head, not just bits and fragments but from the beginning til the end when i was a kid
@@beaconlight4720 but I couldn’t memorize my times tables or tell you more than 2 American Vice Presidents to save my life 😂
It’s funny how much information we can absorb (& retain) if interested, but if it’s something that bores me, it’s incredibly hard to remember.
I can still probably recite word for word the entire movies “the little mermaid”, “sleeping beauty”, all those Swedish pippi long stocking movies, the huggabunch, numerous golden book movies. And more I’m sure 😂
I remember my father (who was actually WAY smarter than me) was fascinated how I can see pictures and movies in my head.
My father was incredibly smart but in a very different way. He had aspergers.
He wasn’t able to see pictures in his head at all, therefore he had an extremely hard time recognizing people he doesn’t talk to often. I use to weird my husband out a lot. We’d watch movies and I’d say “hey that’s Robert Mitchum” or whatever. That’s an example I remember. We use to watch John Wayne westerns and I recognized him right away. Even though he was probably 50 years older. My husband was like “no way”…. It’s not him. Sure enough looked it up. I could always remember faces.
I remember a lot of things apparently lots of people don’t. I remember as a kid being embarrassed that I remembered nerdy songs and I’d deny remembering so they didn’t think I spent all day focusing on that stuff 😂. But I didn’t have to focus. It’s just some stuff, once it’s in my head, it’s there forever. No effort.
But about my father, he was incredibly smart. Smartest person I’ve ever met hands down anyways, but couldn’t see pictures in his head.
I remember one time when I was a teenager I literally dyed my hair red. It looked hideous. At first I was nervous what he’d say. But after about a week of him saying nothing it actually annoyed me he didn’t notice. I finally stopped him one morning and said “DAD!!!! LOOK AT ME”…. “Haven’t u noticed ANYTHING different about me”??????…..
He was surprised my determination and looked me up and down for awhile. He finally said “I don’t know, did you change your hair or something”?? 😂
Mind you I’ve been very blonde since a baby and he’s raised me alone my whole life 😂
Just so funny he barely even knows what I look like and he was weird weird smart 😂
You can memories epic poems or poetry 😍
Thank you Toni for sharing your story. It's very interesting. ❤ Kimberly
mine is video games...i can replay the ones i love in my head flawlessly no matter the lenght
Rest in Peace, Kim Peek.
You truly have a beautiful soul.
The piano kid was stressing me out. Imagine how intense he will continue to become as he journeys through life into adulthood.
...😬🤪😭same for me.
Or he'll redirect. ..
He's 22 now. This is an old documentary.
I just watched Ariel Lanyi's (that kid now grown up) performance from April 2021 of Scriabin's piano sonata and Szymanowski variations, and I must say he has become an amazing pianist, and has a much better memory than anybody else featured in this video of geniuses.
Well after he meets his 1st crush that might change
kim peek's dad fran is a hero, what an amazing man
Best comment on this page! A hero for real!
Talent is God's gift that even a mad being can b given
I’m devastated. I just looked them up and Kim Peek died from a heart attack in 2009 and Fran died in 2014. They were thinking about what to do after Fran died but instead he had to bury his son he had cared for all his life 😔
@@TwinsBigLikeTiaI've known of the guy for so long, but had no idea he had been gone for 14 yrs now
The young girl painter is brilliant. The father seems greedy though. She's not thinking about money. Just loving what she's doing
WHOEVER IS GOING TO ' TAKE CARE' OF HER WILL BENEFIT. HE KNOWS SHE WILL TAKE CHARGE AT 18 ,HE SAID.SO.
It would appear u may have commented before finishing the video, I think they are doing a good job raising her
Greedy because he sold his daughter paintings with her permission and then bought a house for all of them with his daughter's career in mind? I wish my father was that kind of greedy.
The conspiracist in me wonders if the dad is painting these or has someone else painting these and using her as a gimmick to generate hype, sales etc. The first red flag was her saying she sees heaven and also they never show her painting anything.
Harry Balls they show her painting that prince painting
A child in a late night Jazz Club. Accomplishing the keys , is note worthy.
An artist who pours out his soul in key, who relives his life's emotions in key... Epic
The pianist kid 😭😭can I adopt him? He doesn’t deserve this😔 💔and his so lovely and adorable. Kim Peeks Father deserves a noble prize🏅
Adopt me.. :D
The pianist child broke my heart when he was playing late at night and was tired and they didn’t want to let him stop playing. Idk just worries me if he is being taken advantage of by adults because of his musical genius
I don’t see him as a genius, but he is a child prodigy. He is someone who was nurtured from birth and has been learning and practicing long hours, and that has speeded up his timeline and perfected his craft. He will join other virtuosos by dint of cumulative time. However, the key was the exposure in infancy, his father’s drive, and his son’s modeling of that drive. Reminds me of Tiger Woods and his father. Both fathers created their masterpieces.
I love how the boy always asks the bass player "is this professional?". He truly values his partners opinion. As for the dad I know some think he's harsh, and maybe he thinks he means well but he can definitely practice being a bit less harsh, he's just a little kid. And shouldn't force him to perform at night shows. He could practice on complimenting his son that's for sure especially in public. And comfort him when he's being down in himself
Yep, that's the one think I didn't like either. The narrator said you will not find an audience for that type of music at 4pm ... of course you will. You schedule the concert at that time, and if someone is a true fan, he will make time to attend.
This piano kid.. how? He seems made of something whole and intelligent. As if he's already lived. Like an old soul has taken form in his body. How can a child come already programmed with these abilities? There's something to how humans are created that is mind-blowing. It seems something to do with energy and intelligence that is already present, somehow their brains come already wired in a way that would only come as a result of a lifetime of experience. Savants and geniuses tell us that there is so much more to understand about what we are and it's amazing.
Reincarnation. It is even in the Bible
Yes, 100% agreed! Definitely an argument for intelligent design.
I like what you said in your comment but it brought up an old old documentary I watched a while back about the acquired savant which is entirely different they usually acquire some special ability after such a trauma as a struck by lightning in a coma for 15 years a simple fall down and bump their head and wake up and become somebody completely different interesting that we can be wired that way from conception and then be wired that way, by fault...🤔
I was reading a book that I lost. It was by a philosopher named Immanuel Kant. And, from what I read before I lost my book, is that we are born with knowledge and understanding of certain things. Were crazy beings.
The Child Has Natural Talent, But This Is Simple Memorizing, Not Genius & Is 100% In Programming. Living Life Vicariously Through Offspring.
His Father, Who Used Him As A Tool To Line His Pockets & The Pockets Of His Music Industry Friends. Harsh Criticism & Insults. Being Told You Are Either A Child Or An Adult / Professional Or Amateur. Taken To Seedy Bars For Old Drunks To Have A Spectacle At The Expense Of A Child That Clearly Needs Some Rest And Less Domination By Controlling Adults Without Talent.
Ben really makes me feel so happy.
I don’t really know why, he just genuinely makes me feel hopeful for my future, young prodigies dont make me feel hopeful for my future even if I am proud and happy for them.
Ben just seems so lovely and I hope to be like him when I grow up, I wish the best for him!
The rain man is such a kind, lovable guy. He's awesome!
Rain man lol
@@brucewayne5916 That's what they call him not me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
He died a couple years ago.
@@paulpolster4802 Aw now I'm sad.
Yes, he certainly is. I teared at the thought of his living father passing one day. Leaving him to be cared for by his sibling. There's no love like a parents love. I Pray the world will always be kind and nurturing to him.
Oh gosh, I love Ariel, he acts like a real DIVA the way he speaks, moves and dresses up. and answers questions in a mature manner esp. about professionalism.

@@benuenutocellini2691 - I did; but definitely - not everyone is a genius. There are many - who are, or would be - if they would be in the right environment. So I partially agree with the statement.
YOU PLAGIARIZE YOUR HOMEWORKS, GNOS?
@@JayMBusa - no idea what you said.
Extraordinary, touching, very overwhelming abilities but the young pianist was particularly touching when he checked at the end of his last jaz debut "was it professional" at the tender age of around 10.
Exactly what I just heard and then saw your comment…weird. But as a jazz musician myself, I really really admire him asking that. Because I’ve certainly been very unprofessional in my music career, so…makes me as a 30 year old stop and think..from a 10 year old! Always a good thing.
I'm here for the same reason. The last comment by Areil. But what struck me was the man he asked "how was it?" To didn't seem to give him much praise at all.
As a matter of fact, his facial expression was more like you did "so so"
Love that the world is still producing people like these. Life is brutal, doubly so for those of intellect that see the world as it is. Stay hopeful, don't forget how to human... always tempting
The way the father didn't comfort Ariel when he was worried about his performance because he was tired touched a nerve. He was going to cry he didn't even want to be on film. He could of at least comforted him in public and critiqued him in private.
He did comfort him, touching his face lovingly and affectionately.
I agree. I felt so bad for him, being so hard on himself and the father didn't comfort him.
coz the father knows his son is a musical genius. Ariel just wants confirmation 😂 kidding.. there are people who are not very showy about their emotions in public, pretty sure he is supportive of his son 101%.. this is more than what a video can capture
Could've (could have)...
'could of'? What does it mean, in English.
I think Kim Peek probably has the best factual recall in history. He's incredible,I doubt that anyone like him has ever existed before.
Doubt makes for pout so reroute.
he died quite awhile ago
@@redjuice02 Yea,I found that out later.
Google is far better than Kim. What a USELESS skill lol!!! WASTE OF SKIN, yeah!!;!
I have a patient that exhibits the exact same way-recalls the day of the week you were born, when you’ll retire, what happened on what day/year, really into video games etc. but is also physically disabled. I can’t believe that it’s not more common than I thought it was! What rare gems.
I hope Akiane lives a long, fruitful life because I am positively inspired by her work.
When I read these comments, I'm amazed by how many geniuses there are who can judge a stranger's character from what they see of them for a few minutes in a documentary. Astonishing!
I think when it comes to music, the most important thing is to have fun with it. You can be professional, you can be precise, but really enjoying what you do makes it all worthwhile.
A lot of these were pretty cool and impressive, but man, pushing that kid to stay up late and perform while tired and then telling him he could do better just felt cruel.
If anything they were pushing him to just sleep. He wanted to be professional and stay up. Kid said he could do better, dad agreed because he knew that if he weren't sleep deprived it would be. Dad was letting the kid learn his limits and it was one night.
I agree with Pete. I didn't sense his father pushing him in either direction but leaving it up to him, but he could have been more encouraging than "We'll talk about it (how you did) later."
He didn't want to lie to his child and way it was amazing. His child is too mature to realise when he is being lied to. They clearly have a very strong relationship which is why the dad wanted to tell him the truth, he said they can discuss it later because he didn't want to upset his son infront of all these people. He was being a good father.
It was astounding that he considered his performance a 'flop' all the while people in the crowd are comparing him to Dave Brubek. Just incredible.
It is cruel to say that to a triggered millenial, but mature people want the truth and driven people want to do better. I realize this is alien to most in our culture, it was less alien 50 years ago.
What an excellent father of the young chemist! That is engaged and active parenting. Much respect, sir.
Same with the young pianist. Inspiring!
Raise your kids with discipline in an honest environment that promotes intellectualism and creativity and you will have successful children. The reason there are so many critics in the comments section is because they are painfully average and come from painfully average families. The don't understand what it takes to excel at something and truly master a craft.
Hank Johnson so true it’s much easier to be mediocre but what a painful existence that is when not living up to your potential
🎶💻🛋👨👩👧👦💰🙏
Thank you Hank and Sheila, et al. I'm still hoping for the 10k hours bit to kick in, keyboard coordination.😝lol.
Yes thats true
For some reason time is always such a {◇▪︎☆ or something. Some people are so dang blasted impatient when we take time to practice a skill for something we love doing. I don't get it. In a way I'm jealous of Akiane. Her pictures of children absolutely melt me. One of our fellow RUclipsrs made some damning comment about her being schizophrenic. You pry saw that..Akiane is so young yet, God just keep a special eye on her but she definitely has It. Our fellow viewer comes off so bitter, IDK... Kim and Fran Peake, I for one will always love those men. Piano Man, er Piano Lad.. yes.
accountant guy is a really likeable person, hope he found/finds something in life that makes use of his amazing gift
Bless all the parents providing long term care for their adult children ❤️🙏🏾
Akiane's talent is amazing. The most beautiful work I've seen in a long time.
5:36 absolutely incredible, both in terms of the visual effect and the creativity...this child creates better art than most adult professional artists, imo.
its hard to say what isgood here
It's insanely kitsch and tacky tbh.. she needs to get off Google photos to get inspired and look at the old masters, because this aint it..

I don’t see any comments on him, but honestly I love that guy who memorizes the decks of cards through images, because although I’m definitely not at his skill, him explaining the images he saw and how in his head it correlates to what the cards are made like.. complete sense to me. I mainly use more mnemonic devices, but whenever people ask me how I remember something at school, I always say something where people kinda look at me with confused eyebrows like “huh?? How do those correlate??” And I then have to try and explain haha
But kinda growing up being ostracized for that, or looked at weirdly for that, it’s so nice to see someone else’s brain work that way and I don’t feel alone :)
Neat. :)
boy, this guy is probably one of the greatest fathers ever; he cares his son since ever and still will until he dies.
Her studio is full of beautiful art. Millions in prints. Those originals need to be in a vault. Can you imagine owning one of those real paintings and how much I would be worth.
I all honesty. Her studio should be the biggest room in the house, that's an incredibly small room for the girl that's creating the work that feeds that family.
Yeah I thought about it too and she also needs more light. That shows her parents heart
This is why the mind is such a beautiful dimension. Remember, genius is a word that educators use to explain the unexplainable. What most people don't recognize is genius, is based on their destiny. Not the material wealth that the "educated" communities hope for. Communities agenda based mentality, is based on work and is destructive, because it forces education, to a mind that hungers for it. This produces the good and bad mentality, that most teenagers must overcome. The human experience peaks at your teens, the remaining years of your life is based on pursuing your destiny, through your genius as an artist or craftsman
So this means this kids are born opposite they find their talents at earliest age . That makes more sense than any other answer ..
The painting shown at 3:53 is exactly who met me at the gate and told me I had to go back. This young lady, Arkiana, is truly blessed with a grand gift that reaches from beyond here.
I agree with the first parents. When a child has a talent that talent should be honed. A genius at painting should not have to study subjects that dont pertain to their talents. incredible talents should be honed to its finest point.
uhhhh well no... they need the basics of life as well... aka read and some math...
totally agree
@@jonavuka - You speak truth. The child will benefit from reading and writing (or typing) and applied math. You need to be able to manage your accounts and not be swindled. The basics are necessary for that. Critical thinking would not hurt. Lots of people are very good at what they are good at, maybe even "genius", but take them out of their element and they have little or no common sense. Not good.
hopper727rs like when i was in primary school i used to look for more advanced books out of curiosity. I thought the math solutions were a bit dumb, so I'd try to invent better ways. Like calculating cube roots. Calculus, i still have no idea what that's about
jdstep97 it’s better she not learn the math as to not know how much her dad swindled from her

i found it interesting that the child pianist clearly cares a lot about his level of professionalism. if thats not the influence from his father, it seems very type-a for a child. dont get me wrong, he was adorable and insanely talented - despite what he thinks, he is already a genius. but i think he is obviously a perfectionist and has a strict work ethic code of sorts. That will no doubt make a lot of things much harder for him. but perhaps thats what some geniuses long for - actual challenges.
His father has made piano his life. He has no choice. Very talented but i'm sure his father tortures him over playing.
Erin F typical psychopath
My interest is in improv jazz because as a pianist who also plays like 8 other instruments, I didn't know I had perfect pitch until I was 16. I just thought that everyone is like that. then I found that jazz composing and improv jazz were much harder for me, I just couldn't get it. My jazz professor told me something very interesting: it's usually harder to pick up especially for people that have perfect pitch.
Can anyone help explain that more?.
Jenna: I am an amateur of music. I've not had your training or experience.. I'm a true lover & fan of music. You need to grasp what Jazz represents as an expression. It is not classical. It seeks to capture the emotions and challenges of life. It is improvisational, and that means you set the note for the next direction that piece will take. You must access your emotion - you cannot use logic for Jazz.
Could it be a form of OCD ?
My dad was a genius. He was the best father in the whole world... 😇
Artists Dad says, "We actually gave her her own kitchenette"........Uhm..... She actually gave it to herself! Her artwork has paid for everything.
Chris Cross shows who has control of the money
It is typical for the parents to ruin a good thing through their absolute greed.
So God gave her visions so she could charge $300K for an original painting and her family could buy a $1M house? I don’t call that “serving others” as her father so humbly stated.
Serving others would be living less ostentatiously and giving the profits to the poor and destitute.
You people are the most judgmental idiots I've ever listened to. Do you think her parents aren't doing a good job because they use her success to provide a better life for her? When she was painting at eight years old, were they supposed to let her sale her paintings at yard sales so she could get fresh paints and the buyers could sell the paintings for thousands of dollars and her family could do whatever they did to make ends meet? Of course not. They helped her make a crapload of money off her talents and bought a big house that SHE lives in with the people she loves most in the world and they all owe it to her.
For those who criticize how they handle their money or tell them they should donate it all to charity, are you donating all your money to charity? Doubt it.
Also, the father clearly knew his son would need a piano to fulfill his greatness. Powerful!
You mean the father forced the kid to become a musician.
That boy said it all "I don't play fast, I understand the music" That's how I feel about music. I was born with the ability to be good at music(perfect pitch, quick to pick up and learn) and played piano and guitar since I was 5 years old. But dont think that doesn't come without practice. Everyone wants me to play my "fastest" piece but I think the best pieces I play are harmonically beautiful pieces and understanding that relationship.
On the Jewish boy pianist .. they're pushing him way too hard.... "You played okay." This was awful to hear
My hubby iq was tested at age 12. He scored 160.. He got his Ph.D with honors at age 24. I think he is a genius. He is a Nuclear Physicist. Me, I’m just normal!😂

For Akiane Kramarik, I was expecting an “abstract” painter splashing paint around at the age of fetus but this is phenomenal!
If she is truly channeling direct from source consciousness (ie god) then her style of painting is spot on. Modern art as you described it is not beautiful. Beauty (which is what her paintings are) is an outward/visual expression of our direct connection to god. Modern art does not have this connection to god/higher consciousness and as such does not illicit the high vibrational emotional response that paintings such as these do. Probably why for many of us modern art leaves us cold.
No it isnt, they are exploiting that little girl, and she is no genius painter let me tell you. Her paintings are hideous.
@@felipemonteagudo2165 so she gets to spend her days doing something she loves, and that’s exploitation? Or should she be in mainstream schooling being taught what to think, and then onto university to be shackled with debt and come out with the hive mind woke programming? To then find her degree is only going to get her into a dull company on minimal wage where she slowly dies a little every day (and that’s if she’s lucky). I know which life I’d choose for my child. And those paintings capture the beauty of life, might not win awards from the art world, but real people appreciate it. The art world prefers monsters like Marina Abramovich!

Beyond amazing, by far the best artist, that i have ever seen.

Our neighbours' daughter Gill has autism, she's in her late 20s.
One day when we handed our house letterbox key to her mum (they help us to collect mails when we are away) and told her we'd be back by this particular date, the mum asked us what day would that be, Gill, standing behind her mum within 3 seconds and said the day. My wife immediately took out her phone and checked, Gill was absolutely correct. This was one of the many times and Gill is always correct.
Interesting that Akiane sketched so amazingly, but still signed them like a 5-year-old
Thats how God is amazing
She has been lead by God of Jacob…it wasn’t really her
The jaw-dropping impact of this artist girl's paintings is astounding. And I have only ever seen them on this video.
Perhaps there is another Michelangelo among us today.
Omg that painting of the baby and butterflies was amazing 💕 Kim is brilliant, it's just amazing how the mind works ❤️the children are amazing.
I find the child that studies chemistry has a father who pushes his choice. I understand if he is smarter than his class, I had issues with my own children because of this but I never pushed them into doing following a career. I did however push them to learn French and Portuguese LOL
French because we are Canadian and Portuguese well because their father couldn't speak English LoL
I don't think you can prove pushing. It might look that way because of differences but in that environment it's not that unusual. With someone with a gift, and supportive clever family, it would turn up a lot more often if we didn't make a practice of trying to keep people in "age appropriate" boxes.
For example where I live there would be no place in higher education for a younger child. They are stifled
This girl and her paintings are AMAZING! WHAT A GIFT, WHAT A TALENT!
All of the parents here did wonderful job. They saw the potential and supported the kids. I feel like so many parents are keeping their children down and ignoring their talents.

When any individual, child or adult, is blessed in a such special way with a genius talent or skill, there should be some way that they can pursue those abilities for the good of humanity as a whole.
I have a genius IQ and I have so much trouble with "normal" people I went so fast in school that I just was left to self teach myself advanced math and science, and I have excelled. Graduating from an engineering school with high honors.
The good things: I have the job I always wanted. I work with highly resistant bacteria infections. I help track them down, find the source, provide a remedial path. The downside : I struggle though with my personal life. I'm alone. I hate that I have dreams about calculus and math, I can see how physics and math work in the biological world, how infinite realities exist but we are fixed in one trajectory that we call "life". I dunno. I wish more people were accepting that I might see and do things differently bc of how my mind works, but my heart and soul are still human and would like to be accepted and loved. I just don't seem to be able to relate well to people or enjoy the things they do. So, I just function on my job and try to make the world a little better than I found it.
How do you know that you're a genius? What percentile is your IQ in?

Vizöntö embert keress társnak! Nem kell összeköltözni de sokat eggyütt...megszünteti a magányod nagy részét! Csak birtokolni ne akard!
Your existence sounds lonely, as you already know. Do you find any commonality with previous mathematical geniuses, like Newton? Is the Mensa crowd is too slow for you? Many people end up living for their work, no matter the IQ. Antibiotic resistant bacteria is going to be a large problem in the near future, right?
You need to find an equally gifted partner who may also be a bit of a misfit socially.
I'm still impressed by this documentary. Must be 15 years or so since i first watched this. Might be even longer. It was a superb documentary. I wished i could turn back clock 20 - 25 years.
Me too turn nack the cñock to then for selfish reasons I would just be retiring early to be with the love of my life fulltome.he passed away last year I would love to live that part of my life all over again, and again and again.
@@latinaalma1947 sorry to hear of your grief. God bless !
Fran and kims relationship is so touching :3
Akiane is a wonderfully talented artist. 🎨
There's no doubt that she is being guided by a higher power. 🙏
Just looking at her paintings gives me a sense of peace. 🕊
I only wonder what kind of "higher power" gives them such a strong love for money... 🤔
She is talented, I have problems just painting my toe nails.
yeah sure, the higher power of mental illnesses in which people commonly have creativity. Her's is delusional disorder.
@@verabolton the girl loves to paint and it truly is a gift from God. God gives talents to people to thrive with. Some see that and some don’t. He has plans of prosperity for you and I too.

"He has plans of prosperity for you and I too" - but not financial prosperity. God wants us to grow in knowing Him first and foremost, and He's willing to sacrifice our physical wellbeing for our spiritual maturity.
Very unfortunate that Kim only lived until 58. Rest in peace :)
Andrew Fallon noo :(
Did he took his brain for studies?
All that effort went to nought the day he keeled over and, in the end, everything was forgotten the day his brain went to dust. If a book averages 250-500 pages, each page about 2KB, then 12,000 books would be about 12GB. You can get USB's now as large as 2TB, or about 160 times larger than all the books he memorized. Back it up, transfer it when old media becomes worn and it stays around.
He's in Mormon heaven
@@RockBrentwood what's your point genius
30:00 it is so cruel to force child while he is really tired. Even me as an adult I can't deal with strong tiredness.
yeah! and the way how that man manipulates him is BAD
thats why your not a genius aha
@@jacobbest1711 nice joke, fellow, continue to clean the floor. After you finish you can clean my shoes.
And thats what separating you and them
Its not force. The child is self driven. The child is devoted and disciplined. After each gig he asks " is it professional" He obviously judges his ability and pushes his own limits. In Fact he said he takes criticisms from his teachers and not his parents because his teachers are smarter.
Imagine putting together all these people's extraordinary abilities in one person.
The painter girl is phenomenal God bless her 🙏
The card guy is great, he got them _ALL_ right and then says, "That's my best guess anyway!"
Someone give this man a job!
a job doing what? Working at a card factory?
