    Am I supposed to be impressed? I have a PhD level intelligence and I am not exactly impressive.

      I still count and do math with my fingers and still fuck it up. I guess they’re just like us. 🥲

        I do that and I have a BS in mathematics. and in 4th grade I literally used to write “I hate math” at the top of my math homework. as much as primary education systems want it to be, computation speed is not mathematical aptitude. you can memorize multiplication tables up to 20, that’s not gonna help you understand Cantor’s theorem
