頭のいい人が、新しい知識や難しい説明をされたときに「理解のスピードが異常に早い」のって、単に記憶力が人並み外れていいからとか、脳のスペックが違うからってわけやないんよなぁ。
彼らは、目の前に飛び込んできたバラバラの情報を、頭の中で既にガッチリと構築されている「抽象的な知識の体系(スキーマ)」の中に瞬時に放り込んで、「ああ、これって要するにあの仕組みのアナロジー(類推)やな」ってその場で構造をガッチリと読み解いとるわけよ。

If you read the actual text of the new Texas curriculum, it’s worse than you think. The students learn:
> the founding of Israel
> the origins of Judaism
> key stories of the Torah
> claims Jews invented monotheism
> removes Biblical teachings
They have totally rewritten the moral core of the United States in service of a pro-Israel World History curriculum.
In the good timeline, early warnings of this thought process would have been identified a few generations ago and this man's bloodline would have been politiely ostricized until they decided to seek new prospects in south america
My girlfriend can text and play rythm games on an ipad at the same time. I'm sorry about the childhood that must have led her there but goddamn I'm impressed
