Moshe Kai Cavalin, 11-Year-Old, Graduates from East LA College

Video games are worse than my addiction to pinball, which, at least, was limited to several nights a week, was social, and done under, shall we say, "challenging conditions".

Holy SMokes! This kid is OUTSTANDING! Graduating FROM college, wowZA! Martial Arts is probably just a hobby for him, maybe he's just getting wayy into it to a point where he actually wants to reseach it. =]

zzz and 2009LOL, I'll be blunt, but you guys are fucking ass-wholes.  You want to murder this kid just because he's outstanding at everything he does and isn't afraid to show it? Grow the fuck up. I understand you're saying that only because you feel threatened that you can't live up to what he's done or because you feel that you're somehow worth less than he is because of his accomplishments, but that's total bullshit.  There's no limit to talent in this world- people like you only think there is!  You guys need to learn that each person has the potential to be a genius, miracle, etc., and that it's up to us to find that genius within.  People like him aren't a rare breed; it's an innate gift, the only difference is that he's tapped into his potential and most people in this world havent yet.  You guys need to suck up your egos that make you feel threatened by someone's outstanding accomplishments.  It'd be pretty god-damn sad if YOU had done all these amazing things, selflessly, and had to see other people being jealous of you because of their insecurity. This kid is god-damn blessed, and I for one am so proud of him for his accomplishments.  Hell, he's even writing a book on how other kids can succeed in school!  He's proving my point right there; although he's done amazing stuff, he wants others to do the same!

It's kids like him that pave the way for the rest of us to succeed; you two ought to realize that, or else you're not gonna want to let yourself shine when you have the chance - because you think the world's gonna rip on you.   We'll you guys can murder the kid all you want, but he's still outstanding.  

1. I for one agree with the guy/girl above tina kells. I think that the kid would shine , and if you do murdr him , its seriously your problem. Hes gonna shine in anyway and you cant stop him from doing that just cause your jealous and your not smart enough or have the courage . He has really proven alot, and if you cant face the fact that hes like a genius then lets say its seriously your problem. Dont go on about murdering him , cause we know you cant. And if you do, then good luck sire. Hope you have a nice life doing and regreting ever doing someting like that.

I think he's awesome, but I also think it's somewhat sad that he seems to honestly think he's just a hard-working kid. He is a genius, and will never be like other kids. That, in itself, might be sad, but growing up with the illusion that there's something wrong with your peer group because they aren't doing anything anywhere near what you've done and don't seem to care about the complexities that you do is a very narrow and selfish perspective. Somebody needs to tell this kid he IS a genius, and get him the therapy he'll need to cope with the impact of that. Denying genius may seem humble on the surface, but it is both self-serving and unfair to the less blessed people in his life.

WOW obviously the murder thing was exaggerated.  i still think he is a prick or naive because he doesnt play video games because they dont help "humanity."  ok buddy, why dont you donate all your money, pack your bags, move to a third-world country, and become a humanitarian if you want to help "humanity" so much.

maybe hes not a prick...yea naive seems more appropriate.  he literally needs to grow up.

note: i never said he wasnt smart.

A bit of sensationalism coming from the report. But regarding his statement and his current vision on life, good luck helping humanity and change the world with a Liberal Arts Degree from a community college. Heh, genius.

I'll take an idiot savant over pewee here any day. Those guys are REAL talents.

hahaha, childish words!!

Those who says such a thing lacks a human experience.

"I feel it's a waste of time playing video games because it's not helping humanity in any way,"

Uh... How do video games not help humanity? They make you think, they increase your hand-eye coordination, they test your reflexes and problem-solving skills, they relieve stress, they stimulate multiple facets of the economy, they provide countless new artistic media to the art world, they teach kids morals, they often have multiplayer features which allow for socialization skills to be built upon, and they keep the future generation(s) from becoming smug like this kid.

Wait, I'm a bit confused. There are two child prodigies with the same name???

I think vedio game is good way to relax for sometimes.
