This is a too bold claim. So your writing skill is at the nobel prize class? Your math is close to fields prize level? And your programming skills is better than programmers who has spend a life-time programming?

You're 32 and aldready a better mathematician, programmer and writer than people spending life times doing that? There's only 0.1-% people in each category that are better than you?

Instead of saying you're among the worlds best, bragging ego inflation. Wouldn't have sufficed to say, "Im good at a,b,c... even tough i've only had 8th grade education"?
