      If a kid develops athletic+social early this can be leveraged to foster healthy development (fun, rich experiences, etc.) without math, but that doesn't mean they aren't *able* to learn math. I think it's generally fine to delay advanced numeracy for late teens / early twenties.

      I think you're seriously mistaken.

      Has this been tested empirically, by paying adults to learn math?

      I've watched plenty of people break their hearts trying to pass stuff with a modicum of math - when passing would get them jobs, or allow a better career - and they can't. The only way for you to not already know this is if you're brain damaged or a Martian.

      "rationalist" - so, brain damaged.

      I think... You *really* wouldn't want to have this conversation with me were I not a rationalist.

      All I'm getting out of it is an example of how someone can be utterly unrealistic, which I already knew.

      There is a problem where people like to believe what's nice rather than what's true, and rationalism as a movement still struggles with this when it comes to human biodiversity etc.

      It's usually better to accept what's true - though not to the extent that you become overly pessimistic.

      A problem is that pessimism closes off lines of thinking relevant to problem solving. Generalized pessimism makes me suspicious. I take it as self evident that math is harder cognitively for some than others, particularly early on. But an absolute ceiling is a harder sell IMO.

      Prove it from your own example - go out and do the same math that Fields Medal winners do. Oh, you can't because that's above your cognitive limits? It's not above theirs; the same thing applies from multivariable calc down to long division for different people.
