Child Prodigies Suck

Child prodigies suck. They don't ever really accomplish anything. They do something really well at an early age. So what? Why make a big deal out of that? And it's never something that will improve life or better mankind. It's always playing the piano or doing really complicated math. That's nice but we have adults who do that really well already.

They are accelerated through the school systems only to finish earlier than everyone else. Then they sit around twiddling their thumbs until everyone catches up with them. Eventually, they become incorporated with the rest of the masses, never to be heard from ever again. They suck.

Why not force them to find the cure for cancer? Why don't they figure out how to mend the big, gaping hole in the ozone layer? How about a user-friendly utensil to replace all utensils, including the chopsticks? If they can't contribute anything like that, do not give them any special attention and force them to go through regular schools like the rest of us. I imposed it upon myself at an early age. So should they.
