How does a person acquire an aptitude in mathematics, biology, philosophy or climate change? He studies books either on his own or in conjunction with going to school, with the help of a teacher. Of course, books can only teach so much. In the end, you have to experience things on your own and learn from the experiences. Do you need everything spelled out for you? Are you that anal? Guess so.

Most aptitudes require book knowledge. An aptitude for something means it is easy for you to learn something, it comes naturally. It does not mean that you knew it all already,which is how you are interpreting it. That is genius, not aptitude. And even geniuses have to study and read books, acquire book knowledge to develop their genius further. Nurse, teacher, Accountant, MD, stock broker, real estate broker and salesman, lawyer, insurance agent, electrician, plumber - they all require tests to get certified, which requires study, book knowledge. Now that doesn't mean you are going to be a success in the field just because you have the book knowledge to get certified. Even religious faith has a book - it's called the bible - which is helpful to study ( but not necessary) if you want to become religious. I had an aptitude to teach children how to learn. But I still had to learn the subject matter of what I was teaching.

Are there not several other factors? 90% here in disagreement will agree you're biased brainwashed indoctrinated, or possibly Dad tossed ya out the window while driving because.....? Hows the head? All four? As Bongino states.. "Those who have been in charge of the Military as US has lost every War, are the same who have been in charge of Universities" No need to mention Media/areas of Hollywood.. As with Ukraine, an this below being truth. Yet many remain or prefer staying lost and admitting wrong. Why is it some brains cannot adjust, should be, and my guess is main topic in the near future. Could be the suffering has only begun. 50/50 between World being divided, Evil and Mother Nature She loses 40-50% population 2030 - 40.. Having to survive does and will change the mind. Leaders in travesties have been known for the greater good.. The definition of idiot savant does not mention book knowledge. Zelensky Pushes for World War III Zelensky offered to resign if Ukraine joined NATO, which he knew would start World War III. Sure, he will fly to Miami with his stolen billions and fund the Neo-Nazis of Ukraine to eradicate all Russians. You will never know the pure hatred of Russians in Ukraine. He ran on peace and did the opposite. The death toll in Ukraine has risen from 13,000 to over 1.1 million. This man many see as the anti-Christ whose purpose has been to create World War III. I would cut off EVERY penny to Ukraine. If the people want to save their country, they better overthrow this dictator who dares to say the Ukrainian people do not want elections. I have not found a single Ukrainian to utter those words. We will never again have any representation in Ukraine, for under his laws, he can execute them for what I write on this blog.
