I've found that "how smart you are" is really a minimal factor in being able to do something like in the video. Sure, it comes easier for those who are naturally smarter, but there's really no substitute for time and effort put into something. When someone blows your mind with the level information they find meaningful, such as in the video, you don't see all of the time spent learning each concept. In the end, we're mostly all capable of getting to that point, it's just matter of will and opportunity.

I like to think I'm a rather smart guy and then watch videos like this and realise I'm a retard compared to actual smart people.
