How Tao saw the world was completely different from normal people. Just like a computer itself, he saw everything in ones and zeros, but with a exception that all of the equations were just far too easy to solve. Maybe he was just too smart to lower his brain on such primitive lengths. Every decision he made was precisely calculated, even though nothing gave him the trill of wanting it too bad. To him people were just too simple, thats why he loved computers so much.  By calculating his interest, perconal gain, level of commitment and time spent , he only engaged in things that were little over 20 percent of the whole amount. He had to lower his passing grade a lot, otherwise he wouldn't be willing to leave his bed in the morning. Yeah, even 'waking up' graded between 22~28%, depending on when he went to sleep the night before.  Only his father graded a bit over 30 percent , which was why he agreed to do almost everything his old man said... maybe not the way his father would want it, but sure the more officiant way. Like how he accepted to go to school for geniuses or how he promised to bring couple of his genius "friends" to work in their "family business".  First, his father attempted to send him to a school in Korea, which was more private and famous , but he chose to go to America... Tao was too interested in everything NASA. He hacked the sistem maybe two days after he arrived, but was not that much impressed. So he maybe played with them a little, and he maybe also borrowed their satellites whenever he felt like it, maybe , he is not confessing anything.   In the school itself Tao didn't have much friends , if you could call them that. All of them were loners, wirdos，introverts... the more social they were it ment that their IQ was lower. But he found some people who appreciated being alone even when in group，who talked about things Tao was actually willing to listen and in case of sickness
