"Yes, it's possible for older people to learn math."

It's popular to say never stop learning but we have seen our culture is very committed to building walls around areas of learning guarded by academic fiefdoms & we are conditioned to defer to their credentials and limit our own thinking to end where expert consensus draws the line. Who could have guessed the depth of corruption would blow that model to smithereens!

There are so many priceless lessons the pandemic has gifted all with the curiosity to ask questions about any facet of official claims. So many gifted teachers have not only emerged in specialty areas but worked together to broaden a big picture for a lay audience.

Fab reminder learning is a steep climb one fingerhold at a time & better than a diploma to see what a joke it is Funky Debunk's math and grasp of relevant calculations are dwarfed by mine. His egomaginary blindness stunning.

The argument that IQ is static is basically equivalent to taking 1000 people, measuring their squat, bench press and deadlift over time, then asserting because the population average doesn't change, strength is static. And if someone goes to the gym, adopts a proper program and improves their lifts, then the claim is made that they didn't really improve their strength, they just improved their skill at specific lifts.
