I love it when kids spit out knowledge. I think he could have success as a teacher because he doesn't have a lifetime of frustration, failure, anger, and all the other symptoms of humanity that I feel obscure the larger picture.

He might be a genius, and currently tutoring others, we'll have to see how long the human interaction side keeps going before he gets frustrated that others can't keep up with him.

He's only 12. Let's see if he has the same attitude towards his gift when he's 17.

He's quite good at rembering stuff, that is all. He makes a lot of mistakes, most of which he immediately corrects.
Kinda went to ground a couple of months ago when the Performing Dog nature of these videos was highlighted.

He will do brilliantly at exams which require memory.

Remains to be seen if he can actually think.
Unfortuately the present educational system is not really setup for that.
