>>11052281Francis Bacon went to Cambridge when he was 12. Most of mathematics was discovered at a time before kids spent 12 years to learn simple arithmetic.
Cantor graduated secondary school at the age of 15. receiving his doctorate at 22.
Guess, uni at 15.
Cauchy, uni at 15
Look when modern people are spending 14 years learning FUCKING arithmetic and 4 more learning the most basic cusp of geometry and not even all of elementary algebra (and yes I'm considering some kids take college algebra in secondary school).
You got to be fuckign kidding me. ONE YEAR is all it takes to learn arithmetic. UN-FUCKING-IRONICALLY you could get a graduate degree in math if the public education system wasn't just jerking off into your mouth.
Luckily for me my school had a head start program, were I went to a uni to take a place meant exam, In freshman year I placed into calc 4 (after having to take a separate exam to text my proficiency in math beyond algebra, which was the only one required) and college english, not a predatory college course for it, just college english.
Education is fucking bullshit.
My mother has a PhD and was very invested in giving me the best education, I feel bad for this one guy i knew. He was my only friend, and was pretty smart, I shared my books with him because his family was poor. He had the exact capabilities as me but his parents weren't invested in his education, didn't know about the program. Which I told him about after being surprised he didn't do it, but they weren't will to pay the minor fees for books and other shit. The government pays for the tuition so it's dirt cheap.
fuck this gay earth.
