Odd that he still shows kid hand gestures. Really impressive if this isn't another Kimmel prank.

Stop posting you ignorant hating piece of shit.

Stop being a troll. I made a legit argument intelligence should not be measured by rote memorization. All the greatest work of mankind came from creativity and imagination. Your trolling is ignorant; I made a point.

When someone makes a point, you come up with a rebuttal. That's how an argument works. Stop being a little pr*ck and argue with some integrity. Thanks.

Yea but memorization doesn't create passion for learning. The best kind of learning is the kind that exercises your creativity and imagination. As is, rote memorization is boring, lazy, and repetitive.

Now if the kid actually used those elements to come up with something completely new, that would be impressive. Memorizing the periodic table isn't impressive at all.

Well yea if it's just pure memorization then yea what good is it really if not just for fun?. If all he knows are the characters of the elements without knowing what each means, then yea it's more of a cool party trick... However it still has a place though. Some things you remember because you really do have an great understanding of it... others you know simply because you memorized it. In the midst of coming up with truly ingenious ideas, lots of things are playing a part. Everything is connected man. That's why I am a proponent of just doing what you like and if something really ingenious comes out of it then great. If not oh well you had fun doing what you enjoyed.

What do you expect him to do, create a new element out of sheer brain power?
