The bluepill: adderall

The redpill: Russian and 19th century textbooks
>>
>>25277017
These are two completely different things, anon. May as well compare chocolate chip cookies to doorknobs.
>>
>>25277063
No. People say that they can't study math because they have adhd and that when they take adderall they can study math, not realizing it's the textbooks that are the problem.
>>
>>25277103
Post recs please anon. I am interested
>>
>>25277017
I kept hearing "your company is destroying the world, your job is to automate away your own job, your president is giving your tax money to genocide specialist" repeating in my head over and over and over, but then I took my Adderall and now all I hear is a high pitched ringing sound. Thank you, Chemical Imbalance Fixer!

What would you recommend for functional analysis and graph theory
>>
>>25277103
The problem with your theory is that the people who have trouble studying math don't *only* have trouble with math-- they have trouble studying in general because studying requires sustained focus on tasks that have delayed gratification.
>>
>>25277273
nobody gets that far in their studies with "learning disabilities" such as "adhd" without taking drugs, what's your point, lack deductive skills?, I thought so, cuck, remember to fuck your public school teacher wife's husband tonight
>>
>>25277281
No, this is just studying math to cure the levity of the spirit, not about studying nothing but math forever.

>The redpill: Russian
There is nothing uniquely wise or insightful about Russian literature. Its a culture with very interesting literature, yes. But you're not an enlightened lifeform for reading it.
Russian lit is to the dejected incel what Indian spirituality is to the stoner white woman.
Stop doing this. Its obnoxious as fuck.

Redpill me on old text books. It sounds interesting but I have no idea what I would hope to learn or how I would even begin. I wonder if I could get an AI to be a 19th century tutor?

math books are dumbed down for the sake of esls and the socioeconomically disadvantaged. if you read them and find them prohibitive it's on you i'm afraid

>>
>>25278772
do you not understand the connection between understanding simple mathematics as a child and making smart financial decisions as an adult?
>>
>>25278781
No, I don't.

What determines making smart financial decisions as an adult has almost nothing to do with your knowledge of math-- it has to do with your knowledge of investment opportunities, which is something almost no one knows about when they leave high school. You have to literally go digging for that kind of knowledge or stumble upon it. Most people who make "bad" financial decisions do so because A) they don't make enough money to see the point of investing or saving and B) because they completely irresponsible for one of many possible reasons.

The textbooks are fine, anon. They get the job done and are not to be blamed for ignorance. There is no simple solution to the problem you are trying to solve-- it is multi-faceted and requires much deeper insight into the nature of human suffering.

>>25278795
i was rather poking fun at the idea that the elites would dumb down the masses to make them easier to hoodwink (i'm not op) but i agree that after an average proficiency is reached math skills stop mattering.
>>
>>25278772
there's no video game with a mechanic that compounds? compound interest isn't even a hard concept. like how stupid are people on this board, damn. are u guys from one of those cultures with no concept of time or whatever?

Go back to fucking your public school teacher wife's husband, or to reddit.

>>25278943
huh? i mean if u know a better compounding thing kids would know, but like idk compounding is so damn easy. wow u have 100 bucks and ten percent return for the period, next period u have 110 dollars, woah, now the base 100 still gives u ten, but now the ten gives u one, woah, 11 bucks return so now u have 121 bucks woah. u seriously got filtered by this?

Too many women and faggots on this board
>>
>>25278026
The OP was referring to the fact that Russian textbooks, math textbooks in particular, are straight to the point and do not hold back, sort of like 19th century textbooks.
A 19th century English, or modern Russian textbook for a middle school student, would be at the same level as a modern textbook for American high school students, and with much less fluff and filler.

Also, learn how to read.

based and noticer-pilled.

A telltale sign of a female posters, underage users, and legitimate retards is their frustrated replies directed at no one in particular. See:
>>25277281
>>25278761
>>25277843

>>25278761
This post in particular is a telling sign. Due to their lack of understanding, they feel the need to lash out at anyone who will listen and anything in their way. If someone were to point out this poster's mistake, they will disguise their lack of understanding / stupidity as low level trolling for the "lolz" and possibly accuse you of being a fellow retard for falling for their bait.

The only and recommended way to deal with these "people" is to ignore them. Be grateful for their free bumps.
>>
>>25278772
>>25278795

Here are more of them, getting snarky and blaming natural phenomena and socioeconomic factors over a modern failure in education that was not present in the past (shit text books lead to shit understanding of math and financing & investment later in life.

Ignore.

>>25279069
Yes, correct.

>>25278946
I meant to add this to the wall of shame, the second cuck comment.
These ones (the cuck comments) are an obvious giveaway on who is posting since no one else mentioned sex and it is written from a female / faggot POV.

>>25277843
Instead of copying the first cuck post, I accidentally copied the post explaining that the people bad at math are bad at studying in general due to short attention span and a hedonistic desire for instant gratification. This post is also based, and true.
