    There’s a reason I was so bad at math and science

    Because the educational system in capitalist hellworld failed to actually teach it to you in an engaging and understandable way, causing you to falsely blame your inherent abilities, and thus forever turning you off to some of the most beautiful achievements of human intellect?

    Sorry, I realize how presumptuous that probably sounds and it may not apply to you at all. But as someone who worked in education for over a decade, that^ was more often than not the reason people I encountered didn't like mathematics (and/or science to a lesser degree).

      Makes sense. I was never really bad at it, just completely uninterested until I started to need it for gamedev shit like physics and shaders. It 's way more intuitive and interesting when I can feel each change to an equation.

      I still can't read a math paper or article to save my life though, shit looks like enochian to me.

      Oh no I completely understand that for some it is extremely enlightening and makes sense the world and universe to them. I feel like I never understood it completely or science to a certain extent.

      Idk if it effects it but my dad is also terrible at math. I really clung and Excelled in mainly things like writing, reading, and history stuff when I was young so it just stuck with me. And you’re absolutely correct about the education system where I group up in INDIANA.
