Thats fine and if thats what you believe, great. This "theory" is purely subjective, with no mathematical evidence. I like to stick to objective and factual theories. It is true that humans are 99.9999999999999% identical to one another from a molecular stand point. What that means is that when you're born, you are basically born with equality. I like to think about that as you choose your own destiny from that point on.
However, I can agree with you that some people may find math hard because they have a phobia about it or that they just do not put the effort needed into learning it. BUT I will not let you or anyone else blame a subjective theory for their inability to do math.
I am the kind of person that believes if someone wants something hard enough, they can and will achieve it. It is just a matter of motivation and effort you put into it. |
Well, I had written an extremely lengthy reply that referenced articles on comparing brain activity in students using an MRI machine, but you would never believe them anyway, so I deleted it all.
But, one last point, your inference that "people who have trouble learning math are lazy" is a subjective statement based upon your personal observances of a limited number of people. So basically, you condemn what you call a subjective theory while making one yourself.
Like I said, you're stereotyping.
I'm not replying to anymore of your posts.
Have a good life.
