This likely isn’t true for the genuine, bonafide, geniuses. Everyone I knew in that category gladly plowed through even the most abstruse textbooks.
There may be a chicken and egg problem here, as those who weren’t already a genius beforehand probably couldn’t figure out which parts of the textbook to ignore and which parts to remember for the course, and which parts to actually remember.
e.g. Even a poorly written chemistry textbook, edited by hacks and so on, still contained many pages worth of valuable information.
- jncfhnb 3y agoDon’t think we are talking about textbooks. I’m seeing it as novels and literature.
- MichaelZuo 3y agoI’m talking about it, you might talking about novels and literature. “College Kids” is what the post mentions and judging the other comments underneath, on the balance ‘we’, perhaps not including you, are talking about textbooks to some noticeable extent.
- jncfhnb 3y agoThe post is about literature. And those folks didn’t read the article. So whatever. Go away.
- MichaelZuo 3y agoWell ‘we’ have decided to stay and ignore the opinion.
