Did he also write this blog post? It sounds a bit too advanced and informed for his age.
This is not meant to doubt him or anything, but the legal stuff makes me wonder whether it was solely him who wrote it.

I wasn't particularly bright. I think we underestimate the capabilities of children.
I see no reason a 14 year old shouldn't be able to program and say, do multivariate calculus. If anything, they are more intellectually capable than someone going through the pains of late adolescence.
Crystallized intelligence at that age might be low, but fluid intelligence is at or near its peak.
Probably to a large degree because we lock them up in a room all day where they spend their time listening to information targeted at the bottom decile of the room.
I miss the clarity of mind I had when I was younger than that, perhaps 10 or 12.
However, I do think they should be encouraged and tutored to go REALLY deep into anything they might be interested in.
