when you have my level of intelligence and are trying to learn some advanced subject such as quantum physics or artificial intelligence 90% of your mental energy is directed not at understanding the material ...

but at figuring out the ways in which the material being presented was corrupted by the presenter because 99% of the time the person teaching it doesn't understand it and is not physically capable of understanding it ...

if the teacher was on my own level and actually understood the subject learning it would be a breeze ...

but that's like saying if Niggers could play Violin and if Jews could do honest work

and the people who actually DO understand the material are rarely interested in teaching beginners

so it's a struggle ... and it's the same even in simple fields like circuit breaker load calculations for residential homes ... the people explaining shit never actually understand it themselves - they just memorized it. if they were able to understand the subject they would switch careers to something better paying where they would again not understand what they are doing.

generally speaking nobody knows what they are doing for the most part.
