Genius

In the fall of 2020, Ilan Zechory stepped down as president of Genius, the annotation site he founded with two friends from Yale. After more than a decade at the startup, he could have been forgiven for taking a break.

Now Zechory is hard at work again, though not running another zeitgeisty digital media site. Instead, the 39-year-old is training to be a psychoanalyst.

Jovan Stević is a 16-year-old boy; he has an IQ that puts him among those with genius potential...

He first learned to count, and then to speak; he can take the root of numbers like 616,225 or 1,000,000,001 by heart; he used games with numbers to “mask” his hunger; he moved 21 times; he was ostracized by society, and he lives in Serbia.
