    Congratulations to Mike Wimmer for his incredible achievement, all while being the CEO of several companies!

    At best I could start a bachelor's at the same age he had finished his PhD... and I am also evidently intellectually gifted.

    He clearly outclasses the "ordinary" gifted...

    Hopefully, people will hire him for research even if there are some labor and legal restrictions due to his age! (even though we can see his developmental level is clearly very, very mature). No wonder why I felt that people infantilize the smart kids too much!
