Wolfram was doing research as a teenager too and look at what he's doing now, talking about ruliads and computation when his colleagues are not taking him seriously. The kid's contributions are going to be bogged down to the midwit level by midwit academia. He might either end up depressed like perelman or figure out that intelligence doesn't matter in liberal academia and pivot to industry.

you can still pave your way forward into a good career like going to medical school and setting up your family for success. But becoming a big dick influential researcher is a brutal path if your parents arent already academics. Im talking like these guys with distinguished profs as parents have been doing research at the university since sophomore year high school and have their name on 7 biochemistry publications when they graduate college, while tradie parents are still forcing their children to play high school football and are relaxed on figuring out their child's career. It's unironically like a modern day royal caste where if youre a prof your son works for another prof down the hall and then that prof's daughter comes over to work with your lab. God forbid you're an undergraduate at the university you better have at least grad student skill to not get stuck doing rote dilutions or dish washing.

A literate person would simply state:
>The textbooks are verbose with infantile diction.
The first review is an exhibit of the issue as if she was satirizing the text with her post. The second review exhibits the quintessential American view of education. The third criticizes the book for the same. Yet her composition is likely as crude as the text in question.

The decline of textbook quality is a consequence of declining educational standards that began well over 100 years ago. The classical literature and linguistics which was requisite to the old aristocratic mode of education was replaced by diluted variant for commoners. The purpose of education became, especially in the American case, to produce laborers and factory workers rather than to bring up an individual to higher cultural and intellectual standards.

The best of the nobility had a fine appreciation for the arts and sciences for their beauty and majesty alone. Whereas the commoner even today thinks of all things through utility and discards what according to that perspective is superfluous. They then cite a variation of the subversive proverb by the Jew Einstein to justify their simplicity.

The modern man is incapable of all arts. A dullard in all ways but their utilitarian profession. No true comprehension or appreciation of the arts results in inadequate composition.

Lunisolar faggotry.
Babylonians used intercallary days (monthless days) to make up for the discrepancy between lunar cycles and solar cycles.
Jews, and later the Romans, decided that was needlessly complicated and retarded so they shifted away from relying on moon phases for calendar days while keeping approximate month length.

easy, romans are superstitious and prideful, 2 days were subtracted from their unluck month and added to july (caesar the great-uncle) and august (octavian) by octavian himself

How can you become intelligent if you're low iq? All the specialists I've contacted say it's just effort and dedication, and you should become good through neuroplasticity... But there are others who say intelligence is mostly genetic, so I don't understand. There must be a way.

curiosity is important, you have to want to learn more. look at stupid people, they are content with what they know and don't care about learning anything new.
unless you have brain damage or mental retardation of some kind, no matter what your IQ, you can raise your intelligence
you have to want to understand more. find stuff you're fascinated with and try to learn everything you can about it. read studies and articles, if you encounter a word or concept you don't understand, stop and look it up

5-minute high-intensity planking sessions several times per day are a quick cure for depression, brainfog, and general sluggishness, and are also very brain-healthy, producing large amounts of BDNF which promotes neurogenesis and reverses brain deterioration. Best of all, it's free and can be done at any time without any equipment or even a lot of space. Just get on the floor and start some mountain climbers and planks, your future self will thank you!

>Is something that's already been proven true or not?
It's funny watching the anti-science, anti-God fools when they're faced with stuff that doesn't work with their state-funded religion and creation myth, and watching them adapt and change their ever-changing state religion's creation mythology then pretending that new theory or adaptation was always what they believed and taught (or they outright deny whatever disproves their creation myth until they have some way to explain it away, if they ever address it (which they usually don't)). They've been doing it for decades, centuries even. I still haven't heard a good excuse from them to explain away soft tissue found in dinosaur fossils laid down by the flood, especially when they claim fossils are formed over long periods of time and not by rapid burial (like the fossilized foot in a cowboy boot).
