Intelligence is not about IQ. It's about heuristics and intuition. IQ is mostly a pseudo-science, it doesn't hold any form of logical rigor.[0] Your IQ might actually be higher than some people with with better grades. Just like how Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk don't have the highest IQs, but are some of the most "intelligent people" — as measured by their networth. Unclear academic concepts are often so because of poor literature, not stupid students. I used to think I was too stupid to fully understand quantum physics until I read Richard Feynman's Quantum Electro Dynamics [1] Feynman actually talks exactly about this problem (poor academic literature) in the very first chapters of the book (in the example about how mayans computed astronomical events). Fyneman's book is not "dummed down" its well written, because it is written specifically to be understood. Some new well written books includes Maths Better Explained & Calculus Better Explained books kinda popular in the HN crowd.
