>Does one have to be a genius to do mathematics?>The answer is an emphatic NO. In order to make good and useful contributions to mathematics, one does need to work hard, learn one’s field well, learn other fields and tools, ask questions, talk to other mathematicians, and think about the “big picture”. And yes, a reasonable amount of intelligence, patience, and maturity is also required. But one does not need some sort of magic “genius gene” that spontaneously generates ex nihilo deep insights, unexpected solutions to problems, or other supernatural abilities.https://terrytao.wordpress.com/career-advice/does-one-have-to-be-a-genius-to-do-maths/

>>16478847You just need to ask questions bro. Just talk to her.
I think being talented and having parents who recognised and knew what to do with that talent may have helped him. Also not being an incel, that was my one true error...
>>16478843be a genius and also get recongnised as such early and have your talents honed with help from others through your entire life.
>>16478843I don't think you understand what he's saying. You probably do need to be a genius if you want to be a world renowned mathematician that future generations of historians/biographers will write books about. If you want to just make a career where mathematics is your discipline and you make modest contributions (as most mathematicians do) you don't need to be a genius. You're just setting yourself up for failure by declaring everything except the literal peak of human achievement as not being good enough.
Terence Tao is the usual atheists who loves to pass as smart and loves to be gloried but his anti-trump manifesto shows that like any atheist he should not talk in public outside his field of expertise
>>16478868You don't have to be a genius
>>16478843You can still understand and apply high-level math despite being a midwit by giving an effort inversely proportional to your IQ. You just can't advance it.
>>16478843>mindblind high IQ autist pooh-poohs on the importance of IQlike pottery
>>16478843he didnt sell his soul yet or he'd discover something with raw iq its really difficult we dont even know his PRI prob maxed out on the wais
>>16478887well thankfully i enjoy maths somewhat so i am somewhat content with being a midwit pseud faggot nigger ZOG academia slave that will die in spite for the innate abilities g-d bestowed upon me
>>16480964Thankfully this is true for 99.99% of the world, bar me, who is the only genius.Proof: look at society
>>16480966social activity isn't explained only through intelligence. you can have a disgusting literal normiefaggot 4sd guy that isn't autistic really
