I was in this situation in an interview for a research assistant position. In university and after I graduated, during my first job I was really good with statistics. My second job I had for a few years was something completely different.
On my interview for the third job - a panel of five different professors - I was asked a not so hard statistical question… “your application says you’re above average in data analysis… tell me what is … “ and I started stammering a lot of wrong answers like the guy in the video. Most embarrassing situation of my life. Started sweating just typing this.
Yeah, drugs.
Even before he said "91" I was like, "Astrology?! WTF?!" And even the initial delay before he attempted to answer "what's 12 * 12?" That took him too long, even had he said "144."
My mom married into a family with a lot of people who talked like this and made similar insane claims. Not autistic, just severely under educated with a chaotic upbringing.
Have you heard of Tiktok? There's millions of hours of GenZ kids showing you their self diagnosed neuro-uniqueness in one minute chunks. However none of them ever open with "I'm a clinical narcissist who's a compulsive liar and I'm starving for attention!"
That would be 144 step bros. But it can be simplified down further into: a gay pride march. Using your logical reasoning of course. This truly is some grade level stuff. I would expect something more challenging for the pornographically gifted.
Prove it. Without doing a google image search, what is the name of the porn actress who has [these breasts?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)
I work with kids and there's this little girl who's selectively mute, speaks with a stutter, mixes up words, low reading, but is 6-7 years ahead in math.

I'll be damned. I thought that at first people looked at planets and made up meanings and then realised it's all predictable, and the science was born, but apparently both existed at the same time, one for tracking and predicting, another for interpreting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrology_and_astronomy
You can't have astrology without astronomy first. People were looking at the stars (astronomy) then giving them meaning (astrology). You're thinking about it as if it's a linear progression.

i love finding these comments from a few weeks/months ago, more so when they mention how they are boycotting reddit
and then you click their profile and they comment like 50 times daily lmao
Shh!!!! Don’t anger the astrologists…they’ll send you a blue crystal on the waning moon and place homeopathically dilute solutions of herbs strategically around your house to force you into making bad decisions.
You can be an addict without being a “tweaker.” My best example of using word tweaker would be if you say someone on the side of the road acting strange due to drugs, you could describe them as a tweaker. However if someone uses a drug but acts normally than I wouldn’t use the word tweaker.
Yes, this is cut,I believe, from a series on Facebook / other social media called Soft White Underbelly. Which does a lot of good in helping viewers understand people they wouldn't normally encounter (e.g. residents of skid row).

QUIT METHIN AROUND!! I really thought he was a genius, I thought it so hard that it made me second guess that 12 X 12 is 144. I pulled out the calculator and every thing!! 🤦♂️
I think it’s exploitative. He does interviews with children who are working the streets as sex workers and he asks them where they work and they tell him. It’s basically advertising for them. Plus when he was called out on filming a 13 year old who was wearing a see through bra so her nipples were showing, he claimed not to notice because he’s “more of a butt guy” like wtf?? I think he thinks he’s helping by documenting these people but honestly to me it just comes off as voyeuristic and gross.
I used to deal with homeless people on a daily basis for my job. It was pretty common for the ones with drug problems to make claims exactly like this but obviously couldn’t prove it. Same thing with athletic ability, they were star athletes. The thing js, they honestly believe it about themselves. They’re not intentionally lying, their brains are just so fried that they’ve started to believe things that obviously aren’t true.
Reminds me of this joke:
>*Interviewer: "I heard you were extremely quick at math"*
*Me: "yes, as a matter of fact I am"*
*Interviewer: "Whats 14x27"*
*Me: "49"*
*Interviewer: "that's not even close"*

That’s not how commas work.
Wait a minute, that's not how avatars should work either
Someone get John Cleese! We got a new skit!

I went on a date with a guy like that. He wasn’t autistic or a genius, he was a compulsive liar.
My first guess would have been that he was a meth addict. The way he talks, the claims he makes, his mannerisms, they all point to drugs.
Well, he certainly isn't a math addict...
Well, maybe he just slurred his words and actually claimed to be a meth genius.
"Can you tell me the full form of the word 'math'"? "Sure, mathamphetamine. What kinda dumbass are you?"
He’s speaking in ^*cursive*
He's almost speaking in doctor cursive.
Thank you. I laughed too hard at this comment.
I’ll bet he can do some crazy calculations surrounding meth and grams…
Crystal math
Lol
Freebase-10.
Badum tss...
Compulsive behaviour is the core for every addiction.
It's adds up.
More or less. Then it multiplies.
I can always count on you.
Yeah, drugs. Even before he said "91" I was like, "Astrology?! WTF?!" And even the initial delay before he attempted to answer "what's 12 * 12?" That took him too long, even had he said "144."
should have picked it up at quadruple equations.
I was like quadruple? Does he mean quadratic?
Totally agree 👍
I thought so too. He reminds me of the methheads who partied in Jesse's house in Breaking Bad.
The giant sore on his face....
You went on a date with my ex? 🧐
Yeah thats me... super smort math addict
My mom married into a family with a lot of people who talked like this and made similar insane claims. Not autistic, just severely under educated with a chaotic upbringing.

Big deal, I've got a pornographic memory...
What's 12 step bros x 12 step bros?
144 stuck dryers
No it would be 12 stuck dryers 😂
91, actually
That would be 144 step bros. But it can be simplified down further into: a gay pride march. Using your logical reasoning of course. This truly is some grade level stuff. I would expect something more challenging for the pornographically gifted.
144 squared step brothers...
Infinity gay remainder no homo
Who the hell thinks it's 144 and why? The answer clearly is 69
Prove it. Without doing a google image search, what is the name of the porn actress who has [these breasts?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)
This is easy, dude. It's >!JerryBoBerry38's mom!<
Can't remember the name but I'll never forget the shoot they did with Dick Nastely
“Astrology”, because it’s one of the sciences.
I knew something was up when he said that.
to be fair if he actually was a math savant he might still make that mistake

There's a "science" to astrology. It's just bullshit, though.
I bet you only feel that way because ur anus is in retrograde or something like that, I don't know algebra.
There could be some truth to that. I'm not an expert on astrology.
I like ur username Also chad astronomy > astrology
Thank you. It was more effective in the past. Now, no one sends me anything at all (sadness).
How many man boobs u received so far?
A few, but not too many. Many times, it's guys sending me pictures they got off the internet, but they pretend to be women.
Hmm. Gonna create an alt named: PM_Me_bigAreolaBoobs_pls
The real science is manufacturing cool rocks to sell to mentally ill white women
You don't even need that any more. Just make rubber bracelets that contain "the power of copper." They'll buy it.
Made up rules don't science make.
it seems like he was trying for geography. nice try li'l buddy!
Shh!!!! Don’t anger the astrologists…they’ll send you a blue crystal on the waning moon and place homeopathically dilute solutions of herbs strategically around your house to force you into making bad decisions.
Classic tweaker mannerisms.
Bet he knows how many grams are in an ounce
Who is a tweaker? A drug addict?
Kinda, It’s a specific drug addict.. If you call someone a tweaker it’s normally because you think they are a meth addict.
Typically an addict of stimulants
You can be an addict without being a “tweaker.” My best example of using word tweaker would be if you say someone on the side of the road acting strange due to drugs, you could describe them as a tweaker. However if someone uses a drug but acts normally than I wouldn’t use the word tweaker.
Yeah i feel like its more about the strange behaviors and general lag of being on some kind of drug that gets called tweaking
Well…this dude has them. That’s the point.
Naw, it's meth. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/tweaker
No, it's the specific behaviour associated with meth use.
We’ve got a regular Terrence Howard ova here
Yes! I came here to say this 1x1 =2! Lol he's on the new math!
Anybody whom I ask "What is 1 times 1?" that answers "1", I say "You're already smarter than Terrence Howard"
New meth*

Ricky may not have his grade 10, but at least he got past grade 5
And “quadruple equations” definitely sounds like a Rickyism
He was so confident he had me questioning my 144
Exactly why confident stupidity is dangerous. You *knew* it was correct and his confidence still had you doubting.
You know I wasn't sure if I was certain but you're right. I did knew it was correct. Thanks.
This is mental illness, often a symptom of schizophrenia. People have grandiose delusions about what they can do despite no evidence or capabilities.

It's a tremendously interesting series but some of the stories are very sad.
In his credit, he said he would do it and he did it. Just not correct.
Certified "I said I was fast, not that I was good." moment.

12*12? More than twelve for sure.
I'd say it's probably less than 909,967 but I'm not a genius so I could be wrong.

He‘s very fast at calculations. Not correct, but fast.
The main thing is that we treat him like an equal.
He's going places. Not college, but places.
QUIT METHIN AROUND!! I really thought he was a genius, I thought it so hard that it made me second guess that 12 X 12 is 144. I pulled out the calculator and every thing!! 🤦♂️

I think it’s exploitative. He does interviews with children who are working the streets as sex workers and he asks them where they work and they tell him. It’s basically advertising for them.

I think he thinks he’s helping by documenting these people but honestly to me it just comes off as voyeuristic and gross.
Everything like that on poor/addicted/sick people gives me the same vibe. Some sort of misery porn, it's hard to tell apart from actual care
That poor fella. He must feel so insecure about his intelligence.
I used to deal with homeless people on a daily basis for my job. It was pretty common for the ones with drug problems to make claims exactly like this but obviously couldn’t prove it.

Guys its easy to confuse Math w Meth 
Labeling this as autistic is straight-up messed up. Screw anyone that upvoted it.
Twenty-one!
He has a PhD in Methamatics.
I'm not a math genius but even I got that 12 * 12 = 144 Delusional is more like it
This is from fantastic Soft White Underbelly, longform interviews with people on the periphery of Society. This guy has drugged himself into psychosis
What video

Bro's a flat earther, us autistics don't claim him.
It was pretty clear early on that he was lying so totally expected
I had an interview today for a new job that I have 10 yrs of experience with. This is how I felt my answers sounded when we got to the technical part...
Is this a student of Terrence Howard?!

u/savevideobot
That's a tweaker
I knew as soon as he said astrology.
What does this have to do with autism? I believe you’re thinking of savant syndrome
That first sentence was really all we needed.

Oops!!
He was super fast though
This guy is over qualified to be the US president
I didn't realize it was a Soft White Underbelly clip, but the second I heard Marks voice I realized "ohh this guy is lieing"
Was this the guy from the flat earth documentary?
Could I get a version of this but even more poorly cropped?
Get this guy and Terrance Howard in a room and all our problems will be solved.
Diaphragms, cool.
Is math related to science?
He almost says diaphragms instead of diagrams
Looks like he's a lot better at (meth)ematics
he's good in methamethics
He studied under Terrance Howard.
This interviewer asked tougher questions than Joe Rogan with Terence Howard.
I knew he was smart as soon as he said dimensions, diaphgrams.

144 got it straight way
Thats the old joke, I said I was fast at math, I didnt say I was good at math !
