Amazing new child prodigy has been found. He can the play piano flawlessly at the age of only 6! Another one! This time it's a math prodigy!

Child prodigies are popping all over the news these days. And we think to ourselves: What amazing talent have they been born with. They are so lucky! They are living proof that talent exists!

But wait a minute... Let's take a step back and look at this from another perspective.

In today's video I'll explain why child prodigies aren't the geniuses they are described to be.

And we'll take a look at the most famous child prodigy that has ever lived. We'll deconstruct the genius of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Mozart is regarded as the ultimate example of the talent theory. Composing music at age five, giving public performances as a pianist and violinist at age eight, going on to produce hundreds of works, some of which are widely regarded as eternally great.

Surely this is an example of a man who came into the world stamped with the mark of genius?
