Something on the mind.

if you were to take the baby of two super geniuses, and kept it in a white room with nothing but maybe one or two nurses who make no other contact with it other than tending to it like, feeding it, changing it and such and kept it away from all other human contact, what would happen to it.

would he grow to be smart, or grow to be a vegetable, like lets say you let him wonder and learn for his own as an adult, what would happen.

because what we learn stating from baby's to adult hood, is what our society's curriculum and teachings became to be.

math is made up, our English language is made up, everything we learned other than history really was made up from mans initial thought.

so if you did that to the baby and dropped him in this world what would become of it.


one of the theory's and rant my friends have, we like to think outside the box. and i want your guys input on it.

like what would you think would happen.
 
I watched a documentary on the Discovery Channel about a girl who grew up in complete isolation (she was neglected/abused by her guardians :csad: ) and by the time that they got her out (early teens, I think), she was more or less a mental vegetable.

I don't think that she was genetically predisposed to being a supergenius, but my point is, without ANY human contact, I suspect that your cognitive development will be stunted, no matter what your genes say.
 
man ice man and his friends are profound thinkers... or it could be called nature vs nurture and the debate has raged for a while.

look up the term 'feral child' and you will find what you are looking for.
 
[iceman'slogic]No, but, you see, Ice-man knows some English. Which means he grew up with a moose.[/iceman'slogic]
 
Yea I've heard about that but feral children are those that learn from the animals.


but also what about brainwashing from baby to young adult, like constant watching of educational tv, like math, science, history, English, and w/e else we have to teach.

would that prove more affective.
 
wrong, feral children can be kids who were locked in the basement from age 1 - 15 and were never spoken to. feral children is any child who grows up isolated, many cases have shown it was simple parental abuse. one child could not even speak english, she had been kept in her room until she was 17, this was all by her parents, her brother, mother, and father never spoke to her.
 
Interesting question, my fellow philosopher. I actually read about something similar to your posed question. Please read on, if you would:

In Medicine Creek, Kansas, a young lady named Winnifred Kraus got pregnant as a teen and out of wedlock. Her father locked her up in a cave (which was actually an entrance to a gargantuan system) to have the child. Fastforward a few many years. Winnifred Kraus is old, white-haired, maybe around 70. Killings start.

It turns out that the killer was her son, who was kept in complete isolation within those caves for 50 years of his life. A graverobber found an entrance, and the little boy, Job, escaped. He comitted a few murders, was finally caught. His motive: Nursery Rhymes. One victim was found boiled alive in an old distilling pot that was in the cave. Another's gut had been cut open and stuffed with "snips, snails, and puppy dog tails". It was all out of curiosity. Job couldn't talk. In fact, all he could say as "Pway wif me".

I imagine such a child would turn out something like that. ^

I saw that.

I saw that. I remember her brain was a lot smaller than a normal persons.

I was raised in a box with just the Hype to keep me company :(
 
If it's just in a big white room with no one to talk to and nothing to stimulate it, um, I'm pretty sure it would be a primitive, grunting moron. Especially if it's being taken care of and fed, there's no need for it to advance beyond that.

People are born with brain cells, but they don't randomly generate intelligence based on who their parents are.
