Anybody here find their own lack of intellect unbearable? Sometimes I make the mistake of reading the lives of actual smart people. Recently I took a look at John von Neumann.
>When he was six years old, he could divide two eight-digit numbers in his head
> By the age of eight, von Neumann was familiar with differential and integral calculus, but he was particularly interested in history. He read his way through Wilhelm Oncken's 46-volume Allgemeine Geschichte in Einzeldarstellungen.
>At the age of 15, he began to study advanced calculus under the renowned analyst Gábor Szeg?.[21]
>By the age of 19, von Neumann had published two major mathematical papers, the second of which gave the modern definition of ordinal numbers, which superseded Georg Cantor's definition.
Why even fucking bother being alive or suffering this mediocre existence? What am I studying or learning for anyways? 6 year olds can BTFO of me and I couldn't even hope to compete. I should just become a busdriver, its where genetic trash like me belong.
