I’ve met high IQ Chinese mathematicians who legit worshiped Mao as a saviour god, or believed that Chinese traditional medicine actually works. They were also socially retarded.

I’m convinced that a high brain capacity =|= critical thinking capability. If you can’t be smarter, be wiser. It’s that simple.

You can't increase your IQ, you can only bring it back to baseline when things like depression, brain fog, etc. cause mild impairment. If you were a retard who hasn't been able to do math since you were a child, you'll never make it.

You just need a tutor. I explained calculus to a friend and he got good grades after failing the same test at least 5 times in a row.
You just need someone to explain the concepts "like you are 5" and to offer plenty of examples.
Modern math books have zero pedagogical value, they aim to be as dry and minimalistic as they can be, due to the cultural influence of Bourbaki, and often fail by writing text that is technically incorrect

both of you are pretentious undergrads who should get back to studying asap. Bourbaki's influence on math books is the definition of elementary terms like surjective, injective, bijective, and a more apt style (numbering theorems, definitions, propositions, etc., as opposed to only numbering paragraphs). Their hatred for logic, pretending Gödel never existed and still using Hilbert's outdated epsilon calculus, made their treatment rather shit.

The reason you're having trouble with math is probably because you're thinking of math as memorizing a series of actions you perform with the symbols on your paper, instead of seeing it as the symbolic expression of simple, easy-to-understand logic.

Try cutting down on grains you might have an intolerance like I did. Also making sure you are getting enough nutrients through logging a few typical days on something like chronometer. High species number probiotic(s) with lots of fiber. Omega 3 (fish oil, ground flax, &/or algae oil). Maybe try something like NALT. Exercise. Sleep enough. Involve yourself in things that use your brain in different ways daily (reading research, studying, and making things with your hands.)

Bourbaki's influence is certainly wider than that, but yes, it doesn't really apply to lower-level (e.g. undergrad) textbooks. (The set theory book, by the way, is usually considered Bourbaki's worst even by admirers of Bourbaki.)

Brain surgery is more about having a steady hand than a sharp intellect. One of the greatest con jobs ever pulled off was medical doctors convincing everyone that what they do is intellectual labour.

If this was true then brain surgeons could be trained on a very short time. This was true of chinese sterilization technicians, whom were trained to only do tube ligation. They had teams whom would kidnap village women, roll them in a carpet and load them on a truck. They would be carried by the dozens to a shack where surgeries got done in under 20 minutes.

1. Get your net carbs below 20 grams per day.
2. Drink 0.75 gallons of water per day.
3. Sleep in a pitch black, silent room and sleep until you wake up naturally (i.e. don't use an alarm clock).
4. Get 30 minutes of sunlight per day.
5. Walk 2 miles per day, and do more strenuous exercise two or three times per week.

Fat, lazy, unathletic, asthma, any excuse, you can catch up to the average.
Doing more consistently with the right stuff in enough time investment can be above average, or great.
But most fat people stay fat, most fit people are not power lifters or marathon runners, most people are not good at math.
