Why do people struggle so much with math?
Can you be born stupid?
Did you have to study a shit ton to understand or were you naturally gifted?

Why do people struggle so much with math?
People literally process and retain information differently.
Can you be born stupid?
Duh.
Did you have to study a shit ton to understand or were you naturally gifted?
99% of people will need to study even if naturally gifted. Even the great geniuses needed to study. The difference is the acceleration and ceiling of your understanding compared to normies.

>The difference is the acceleration and ceiling of your understanding compared to normies.
Yeah but why does that happen? Is it bound to genetics? Interest?

because you don't really need it in average life. so the brain turns it off.

Recently I've been teaching mathematics to my girlfriend because she got into college and has to take college algebra. Now I have realized something most people really won't comprehend: you have to be born smart enough for mathematics.

While teaching her I realized something. The reason people fail at math is because you reach a point where you have to take into account so many rules are properties that if your brain cannot properly handle all those rules simultaneously, you will fuck up. I never realized this on my own because when I was just practicing I never noticed how much information I was actually processing. But while helping my gf work through problems I can literally do the problem in my head and pinpoint exactly at what step she will fuck up. Because I can now very clearly see in which steps you have to do the most symbolic manipulation, and it is at those steps where she will always get a sign wrong, or add two numbers incorrectly, or write things in the wrong order.

I always thought that people were just lazy. That math was so easy that everyone should be capable of doing it but I was wrong. And I was wrong because doing 100 operations simultaneously for us feels exactly like doing just one operation. We do not feel that difference in complexity because our brain is wired in the right way. But some people are not that lucky, and they get fucked.

Abstraction is a process most people aren't comfortable with. It's easy to get lost and lose sight of what you were originally trying to accomplish.

So tell me, do you still need your gf to get off or do you just jerk it to how smart you think you are?

Well they do get blessed with not coming off like a massive fucking faggot. So people will actually like them. And that's important too.

Both. When I'm with my gf she does the job but sometimes I am able to do some analysis proofs so fucking sick and violent that I can't help but get hard and have to jerk off.
