Documentary My Brilliant Brain

Yesterday's quote was taken from the National Geographic documentary My brilliant Brain: make me a genius. Youtube has many fragments of it online:

My Brilliant Brain - Child Genius. Episode 1 (Part 1 of 6).
My Brilliant Brain - Child Genius. Episode 1 (Part 2 of 6).
My Brilliant Brain - Child Genius. Episode 1 (Part 3 of 6).
My Brilliant Brain - Child Genius. Episode 1 (Part 4 of 6).
My Brilliant Brain - Child Genius. Episode 1 (Part 5 of 6).
My Brilliant Brain - Child Genius. Episode 1 (Part 6 of 6).
My Brilliant Brain - Make Me a Genius. Ep 2 (Part 1 of 6).
My Brilliant Brain - Make Me a Genius. Ep 2 (Part 2 of 6).
My Brilliant Brain - Make Me a Genius. Ep 2 (Part 3 of 6).
My Brilliant Brain - Make Me a Genius. Ep (Part 4 of 6).
My Brilliant Brain - Make Me a Genius. Ep (Part 5 of 6)
My Brilliant Brain - Make Me a Genius. Ep (Part 6 of 6)

On the one hand it seems like an impressive confirmation of the growth mindset idea. On the other I am not completely comfortable with the idea of methodically turning kids into geniuses.
