David’s "textbook-first" philosophy is a necessary reality check for an era obsessed with gamified learning and AI shortcuts. He correctly frames mathematics as a rigorous language that demands patient literacy rather than a series of clever puzzles.

I Started College for Math, Physics, and Engineering as a High School Dropout and Now I am an ExpertAdded:
All right, kids. It's story time. Get your uh Do you want 2% or chocolate?
Don't drink 2% milk. It's bad for you. I drink whole milk.
It did not make you fat, ladies. What make you fat is your attitude.
I'll believe in miracles when I hear a woman apologize.
Extreme narcissism flows through the veins of females. That's why they call men narcissists all day because it's classic psychiatry 101. Point out your problems in other people and then you don't have to deal with them because now they have the problem.
How do you like me now? Look, I I've decided that a petite Asian woman that honors her man is probably correct for me. And uh I know that the American women are like, "Yeah, you would want that." I'm like, "Yeah, I definitely don't want that."
Someone that lays there like a dead fish or a sack of potatoes, doesn't know how to make love, kiss, passion, tell the truth, just lies and judgment, hatred, the American way, no sex, but God, I'm going to look good.
Guys, if you don't see the humor in life, you're going to get cancer. Okay, so relax ladies. You know I love you. If if I could marry 500 of you and give you all of my possessions, I would. But I have nothing and none of you will marry me. So what's the problem?
All right, kids.
I'm taking a direction, a change of direction with my channel to gear be geared towards adults. Mostly adults returning to college or hobbyists. you're an amateur or a hobbyist. You're a student that failed college, dropped out of college, lost interest in college, and is going back to college, or you never went to college. You're going to college for the first time. Doesn't matter. So, I'm going to tell you my story to start to kick this off. I'm going I'm going to I look, I I started this channel because I saw this huge problem with um high school kids going into college and uh using AI and Khan Academy and teacher solution manuals like religiously. I thought I could help them. You can't.
They're idiots. They're gonna have to fail and then they'll be you guys. And so they'll come back in like five years after they realize that they shouldn't have taken the advice of a social media company scamming them or themselves, an uneducated college student. But that's what they chose to do. They chose to listen to an uneducated college student, uneducated classmates, and social media companies. Brilliant. While they're paying professors, PhDs thousands of dollars to guide them through using a textbook, their brilliant idea was, "I'm going to listen to an uneducated criminal who pirates digital content, steals everything, and cheats, and a social media company that wants to suck money out.
It's over with. You guys are in high school, go away." Okay? You guys are in college using AI and Khan Academy, go away. I can't help you. Come back when you realize you failed and then I will help you.
That's smooth, rich Nespresso.
So, I started college at 18, then 22, and then 24, but I dropped out of middle school and high school. Uh, when I was in middle school, um, I experienced some very traumatic abuse as a child. And uh I was um I became like a goth freak, punk rocker, you know, spiked hair, pierces, leather, black makeup. So naturally, all the white racist women that run the college or the middle schools, these are white racist women, okay? They run high schools pretty much all over the country in America. They're very ra they're very racist and they're very white, which means they don't like anybody. I say racist, most people think they don't like black people. This is America. No, they don't like men. I'm talking about anti-male people. Okay.
So, I had to deal with these white racist liberally Democratic Republican women my whole life. I still do today.
They do the same thing to me today as they did 30 years ago.
So, I was in middle school and I was abused. I I went through some very very very traumatic stuff as a child and uh it it shocked me to my core and cracked me out of the delusion of Disneyland illusion. The illusion of Disneyland.
The delusional state of the illusion of living in Disneyland. The Santa Claus state of mind where Santa Claus still exists. And they did find Santa Claus's body. Ironically, he did. Staint Nick did exist. They found it like a couple years ago.
So, so I'm in middle school and um my dad actually took me out of middle school for my safety because there was um a principal there that was hellbent on punishing me for everything everybody else was doing. And um so anytime something happened at the school, I got punished.
It was the time when they gave me a ticket. Okay. The first time I was like 5 years old and I was accused of sexually harassing a girl because she had a tampon wrapper, like static electricity stuck, like a little snippet of it stuck to her backpack. And I asked if that was her brand. So, they called the police on a 5-year-old. Had the police come and talk to a 5-year-old about sexual harassment. Maybe it was like eight. It was in like the second grade. How old are you in second grade?
Like like eight. I think it was like eight. I had the police called on me for sexual harassment because this girl had a little snippet of like I like a tampon. It said tampon on the wrapper.
I'm like, "Is that your I thought they were nunchucks." When I was a kid, I used to take my mom's tampons and I would tie the strings together and I would use them as nunchucks. Perfect for my tiny little hands and they were soft.
I wouldn't hurt myself. You should see me with nunchucks today. I'm a freaking expert. It's awesome.
So, I thought she had nunchucks, too. I was a kid. It was like tampons to me were soft nunchucks.
So they called the police for sexual harassment in like the second grade.
These white racist women. So my dad comes down and he and my dad owns a counseling center. He's part owner, half owner, part owner, whatever, business partners in town. So he's got some prestige in town. And he comes down, he's like, "What the you called the police on an eight-year-old for what?"
And they're like, "Uh." And the cop's like, "I don't know, dude. did these bits. So I um that's that was like one of the beginning events of this. And then then I was in middle school and my dad's getting a call every day, oh your son did this, your son did that, your son. And my dad's like, my son would not do that. He did not do that. He would not do that. And do you have proof that he did it? And we don't need proof. We we were told by the other kids who actually did it. And uh so my dad knows me. I think you guys know me. I'm a relatively good Samaritan. I've done bad things, but uh mostly I try to push myself into the good moral side of the compass, you know, or the direction. I try to, but we all have our moments. And uh it's okay. That's part of the reason you're here on this planet is to choose to be a douchebag or not.
So, um my dad took me out of middle school to be homeschooled because he understood that I was being abused. This is what happens in American schools. I don't know if it happens elsewhere, but when a kid is abused at home, they go to school and the teachers and the classmates abuse them more. They That's the That's the tradition of abusive people in America. When someone's being abused, that kid needs to be abused more. He's not being abused enough, abuse him more. That's the solution. And then kids get guns and shoot people and they wonder why. These kids that shoot people at schools, it's because of the white racist women that run them. They abuse the crap out of them. And the classmates abuse the crap out of them.
Have you ever met a teenage girl and how she behaves around people? They're vile.
They should all be separated.
There should be a an island for all teenage girls and an island for all teenage boys ran by AI robots until they mature. Get them the hell out of society.
Look, I'm not kidding. I mean, I've been abused and harassed by women my whole life horribly, and they're completely in denial about it.
I'm banned from the grocery store across the street. Listen, I live in Madison, Wisconsin. There's a grocery store called Cap Center downtown across the street from me. Been shopping there for 10 years. Probably spent 20, 30 grand a year there. I bought a girl flowers there once. I had a little too much to drink. She's beautiful woman. I was like encaptivated by her and I knew she liked me. She flirt with me and she's like, I just got back in town and she's seen me outside. So, I sent her flowers.
I should have sent her chocolate. That was my mistake.
Well, she had been gone all summer. So, when she got back, the flowers arrived and there's a girl that works there who's a lesbian. And the lesbian thought I sent her the flowers. I guess she didn't read the card. She took the flowers with her. And then she complained to the management that I am creeping her out and harassing her and sending her flowers. And so, I'm banned from that store. Now, it took about two weeks before the girl realized that the flowers were for somebody else. And then that other girl, by the time she got the flowers, the gossip circle, this white racist lesbian woman spread about me, completely false information, the girl was so creeped out by the gossip that she talked to me for one second and it was just like, I can't do this. I can't do this. She contacted me. She texted me cuz she found out the flowers were for her and she had my number and she texted me and within one sentence she was just like, "I can't do this. It's She was brainwashed by this lesbian racist woman. So, I'm banned from the freaking grocery store across the street from me because the lesbian stole the flowers I sent to a girl and lied. It still happens today. My neighbors did this to me, too. They had the police illegally search my condo. I had three cops come in here illegally detain me in my underwear and handcuff me. This was like five, like the year before the pandemic.
And they illegally searched my condo for drugs and weapons because they were convinced I was a drug dealer or something. My neighbors here because of the way I look. Because I had long hair and a beard and white. This is your liberal democratic people. Okay? That's what they do to their fellow neighbors.
Anyways, my point is I I missed half of middle school because I went home to do um homeschooling and uh I remember looking at the textbooks, guys. So, I know how difficult it is to tackle a textbook. As a young person, it can be extremely difficult to tackle a textbook. As an adult, it can be extremely enjoyable. I hated those textbooks as a kid. Now, I love them. I love textbooks.
And that's my message, you know, for everybody is that, you know, you have to abandon this fear for textbooks. But I remember I I sympathize when I was in when I was in middle school and I was doing the homeschooling. I couldn't I couldn't do the text. I hated it. So I sympathize. But the problem is with our education is that you can't let the kids take the easy road and watch Khan Academy. It's not helping them. They have to learn from the textbook. When it comes to mathematics, there's no other way because if you leave the textbook, you've left the subject. You're not studying it anymore. I'm going to make that abundantly clear to all of you. I'm doing a whole library dedicated to teaching adults mathematics starting at the very beginning, arithmetic, even earlier than that, number sets. So, I'm going to be doing that today. I'm going to start that today. I'm going to do the first like 10 20 lessons on YouTube free. Then everything else is going to be on Pllem Academy. You have to be a member to see the rest. Okay? I don't work for free. I don't know why you guys think I people on YouTube doing math should be working for free. I'm not. I mean, the kids that are helping you cheat, you should be paying them to help you cheat. Khan Academy is helping you cheat, you should be paying them.
They're helping you cheat. They should get something for helping you ruin your education.
Anyways, see the women listening to this right now are getting angry at me because they're in denial because they know they behave that way and they and in their minds they think that's ridiculous. Only a man behaves that way. No, it's 50/50.
Half of the people on this planet, whether you're a man or a woman, are sick, demented freaks. There was plenty of women involved in the Epstein files, but don't ever see you guys talking about that.
Anyways, so I also dropped out of high school. It was I got straight A's and ninth uh 10th grade or whatever, freshman, sophomore.
It was like sophomore year. I got straight A's and I was like screw this.
I'm done. Seriously, I got straight A's and it was Christmas time. I was like I'm like I'm done. I left high school to pursue a career of music to be a a rapper and a DJ. I spun on three turntables and I wrapped. I spit on the mic, son. This is the time around the time Eminem started, you know? So, like it was hot. It was still something that and I was getting somewhere. I was getting offers to do be on the radio and spin at clubs and stuff. Then I watched my friends shoot up heroin and I decided, you know what? I saw the documentary of the 27 Club with Kurt Cobain and and uh Jim Morris and all these people dying at 27. I'm like, I am going to die at 27 if I go down this road. I know it. So, I abandoned music, changed my life, went and got my GED, and went to college.
I went to college for psychiatry naturally because my dad owns a counseling center, and I was working there as a in the clerical. And so, I went to college for for um psychiatry at first. Did a couple classes at a technical college.
And just so you guys know that any of you who have a GED or high school diploma, uh it's very easy to go to college in America. And it's pretty much free. You just have to you just have to start at a community college or a technical college and work your way up. It just takes a little longer and you can't you have to work your way up. Do the first couple years at a community college then generally you get you'll get accepted into any college no problem. So any of you who are curious about that that's what I did but I started at the technical college did a couple courses.
Then a few years later I was working a job in sales and they paid for you to get a bachelor's degree if you wanted and it was all online. So, I started doing a online bachelor's degree in business finance and marketing or something and I did like two semesters of that and uh got hooked on the Nazi zombies Call of Duty World at War game and it ruined the whole semester. So, I tell you guys to pack up those video games and send them home. The uh it ruined the video games ruined the entire semester. I had to drop out of college and then I lost interest. I was like, I don't even want to do business. And it was around that time when I started to realize actually that I have a a an aptitude for mathematics and physics, problem solving, programming. I just have an aptitude for science. And uh it should have been something nurtured in me as a child. When I was like six, they should have sent me to like, you know, a special school for science kids or something. I'd have like a Nobel Prize by now for sure. I have a brain like that. I'm not gloating. I'm not bragging. It's more of a curse than a blessing. I just have a brain like that.
I see things the way they should be seen, you know? I don't I don't look through the lens of lies. Part of the reason I have a brain like this is because when I was like 9 years old, I I made this like oath to myself to never lie. And I mean, I still do lie. Not intentionally. It's like accidental. And and then there's always the there's always that do I want to tell the person the truth because I don't want them to know the truth. Withholding the truth.
There's there's there's a delicate balance between are you actually lying or are you just withholding information that's that's private information, you know, there's a balance between that. It depends on you yourself and the other person involved really. But just straight up lying to get something from somebody, it's not healthy to do that.
And I made a note not to do that because I I realized how terrible it was to lie to people when somebody lied to me. And I felt I felt the pain that that I realized my friend lied to me. And and when you realize somebody lies to you, it changes the way you see people. You you'll never trust anybody ever again.
And so when you lie to somebody, you you are in a sense abusing them and traumatizing them for the rest of their life because when they find out you're a liar, you have now traumatized them.
They will never trust anybody ever again in their life. You guys cheat. You're in a relationship and you cheat on somebody that's in love with you. You know, if they're not in love with you and you're just, you know, a [ __ ] or a [ __ ] whatever, a guy that bangs everybody, that's one thing. But if somebody's in love with you or is very attracted attached to you and you you cheat on them and lie to them, you're a terrible human being and you're traumatizing them for the rest of their life. And you know, you're just a horrifying person. I don't know if there's anything that can be done for people like that.
You do terrible things to people. It it's a horrible thing to do that to somebody. If you if you don't want to be with that person, then don't be with them. You know, don't you know, people who play games with other people's emotions have a very low place in hell.
Don't believe in hell. You don't have to believe in hell. It still exists.
Because you said you don't believe in it. That implies that it exists. You're just choosing not to believe in it. You should have said there I don't. There is no such thing as hell. But you said I don't believe in hell. which implies it does exist. So, get your English right.
That's one of the first things we'll learn for adults.
Adults learning math. Adults meaning you're not in high school.
I'm going to show you guys how to do this properly because this is I'm I'm a high school dropout. I went to college at 24 for math, physics, and engineering. And now I'm an expert. I can open up any of these books and interpret the information on demand and apply it. That's what you guys are supposed to do when you walk away with your bachelor's degree is be able to open any book and apply it. And you guys, for some reason, you think that AI is doing math. It's not. I I It's like you're the textbook is the subject. If you leave this textbook, you're no longer studying the subject. It's you're just doing random puzzles that are pointless.
Uh I'll reiterate, a guy yesterday on one of the comments said, "The best way to learn math is doing thousands of problems." Well, how in the world is that the best way to learn math? That's not even doing math. That's just puzzle solving and it doesn't have any application in the real world because all these p problems you're solving in these books are fake problems. They're not real problems. And that's that's the pro that's the question you as an adult going back to school or learning math for the first time. That's the question you have to ask yourself.
Do you want to solve problems? I.e. do you want to do puzzles or do you want to learn math? Because most of you guys think that math is puzzle solving.
That's an application of math.
The truth is math is a very intricate language that allows you to explain phenomena. And when you understand math, it's not challenging. You just be able to explain things and do things. You guys are addicted to the release of endorphins that comes with solving a puzzle. Rewards. It's like playing a casino, like winning, losing, winning.
You're addicted to that chemical high.
And that that's a reality that you have to ask yourself before you venture down this path of learning math. You have to ask yourself, are you doing it because it it makes you high? Are you doing it because of your ego? Are you doing it because you actually want to learn the language of math?
I meet people all the time. They come to me, they're super excited. They want they want to like hire me to explain to them math and all these things and blah blah blah. And then I start showing them how to do math and they have a reality check. like I this is not what I thought math was. They thought math was I'm going to think of time travel and bend the world with numbers and symbols with paper and then they see how it really works and uh they're like you know what I think I'm okay with my job and uh I don't want to spend the next 10 years with my head in a textbook. So takes about 10 years to learn math. Okay, even if you crunch it down in school it still takes about 10 years to understand it.
It's because your brain actually has to grow and like solidify. It just take that's just how long it takes the average human. Some people can go faster and whatever, but on average it's about 10 years. That's how long it took for me. It was like right around the age of 34, 10 years after I started. It was like I remember I was just kind of like walking around and it was like this thing clicked in my head and it was like, "Oh, oh, oh." And it still happens even today. It still continues to click.
Like it's and I'm trying to share with you guys, you young people that are listening to this, you racist white women that are listening to this, I'm trying to share with you that these click factors so that you can experience them at an earlier stage in your learning so that it will it will evolve you faster. You'll excel faster. And I but you can't you some of you are so arrogant and pompous and racist that you can't accept the greatest information in the world unless you're the one who thought of it. You guys have the Inception problem like with DiCaprio or whatever movie, Joseph Gordon Levit and the little girl from the one movie.
The uh was it April or you guys can't accept the information unless you're the ones who came up with it. And that that's the sign of somebody that's in the wrong field. You'll never people that have that mentality, they don't know it. But if you listen to someone like me and you disagree with me, it's probably because you have severe narcissistic personality disorder and I watch you guys and I observe you guys and those of you who disagree with me and come back at the end of the semester. There's two kinds. There's the kind that says, "You're right. I was an arrogant, pompous, immature kid. I understand what you're saying now. The first semester of college taught me. I'm I'm with you. I'm sorry." That's not a narcissistic personality. the other person comes back and it's like,"Well, you know, I don't want to agree with you, but you know, I went through the system and, you know, I kind I I can understand what you're saying now, so I'm going to I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to I'm going to decide to to um learn from the textbook now because it's my choice and I'm I'm the one that made the decision." That's a severe narcissistic personality disorder. That person will not be successful. I I've rarely seen anybody with that kind of mindset per get past um junior senior year. You have to you have to be humbled in math and physics. You you can't be an emotional person. I'm an emotional person. That's why I love math because it removes my emotions. It calms me.
When I'm doing mathematics, I used to get irritated when I didn't understand something, but I I would talk to myself when I got irritated. I'm like, "What are you getting irritated about?" That that feeling of irritation is like literally causing your brain not to work properly. It's it's flooding it with chemicals that's that's distracting your your uh ability to focus. So, I'm like, "Why are you getting irritated? There's no reason to get irritated with math. If you if you look at a question and you don't know how to solve it, it means you don't know how to solve it. It means you don't have the algorithm. Go get the algorithm. This is what you guys don't understand about the textbook. The textbook explains to you how to derive an algorithm. And then you can use that algorithm and apply it to solving any problem. Most of you approach math like a sudoku puzzle. You're sitting there trying to use your wit to solve it, your ego. A mathematician has no ego.
A physicist does big time.
Mathematicians have no ego. I'm a very egotistical person. But when it comes to mathematics, I have no ego because I understand it. But in in everyday life, I am a very egotistical person. It's it's like it's I try to suppress it every day. It's like a weed that just keeps growing back. I'm I'm an arrogant, egotistical narcissist. I know this. I'm well aware of it.
But and and people don't like me because of that. But I'm like I have my intentions are always positive and friendly for everybody except for the people who speed in their cars and act like damn lunatics. Like go a freaking speed limit. You do not have the right to go over the speed limit just because everybody else is. You're criminals. All of you. That's not a crime, but traffic violators, whatever. You get the point.
So, my children, listen, my adult children, I'm here for you. You're going back to college. You're in college.
You're lost. You finally snapped out of your pimpleface, puffed nipple, white racist mentality. Women have two phases, guys. They hit when they hit 20, they go through somewhere in their 20s, they go through the bang phase, maybe in their teens where they have to have bangs.
When they when they're going through the bang phase, just let them be a lesbian, okay? Then they'll get over once the bangs go away and they're back to regular hair. Then they go through the man-hating phase. Let them go break a bunch of dudes hearts. And once once they put the hair up into a ponytail and stop wearing makeup, then get gas them out. That's when you go, okay? They got to get they got to get past the man-hating face.
They're quite elegant. Between the age of like 16 and 19, I tutored a lot of them. They're very mature and elegant.
But look, I I no longer see women as a human being. I see them as a species separate from men.
We are two different aliens. I was walking through Target yesterday and I was walking through the women's aisle and all the different bikini shapes of different bodies and all these things and how women how women talk to each other and always like, "Oh, that top is so cute." And all these things. I'm like, it just disgusts me because it's all lies. They're just lying to each other constantly, painting their face with lies, draping themselves in fictitious wardrobes, doing their hair up, whatever. It's just a bunch of lies.
So, I see a girl that has no makeup on and just has her hair in a pony, little sweatpants or something, walking her little tushy, flipping around. Very attractive, especially if she does math and physics. Engineer, very sexy. She's not a liar. A woman that knows math is not a liar.
How do you like me now? You guys wonder why I keep getting shadowbanned on YouTube. He's speaking his mind. He's telling the truth. Ban him. He's a man.
Nail him to a cross.
Or burn him at the stake. Don't nail me to a cross. I I am not a god. All right.
I just play one on YouTube.
All right. So, uh, so, so this is this is going to kick off the, uh, the beginning of, uh, the adult the adult playlist to learn math. I'm going to start at the very beginning, guys. We're going to start with the L language because I I want you guys to understand because I get a lot of you come here, you're you're interested in learning math because you're interested in learning math as an adult. I need to ask you a question. Do you want to solve puzzles or do you want to learn the language of math? because there's no puzzle solving in math when you learn the language. What I was trying to say about the sudoku is that somebody who does not understand math, somebody who thinks AI and Khan Academy is teaching them math, they they solve a sodoku puzzle and think they're doing math.
They're not. They're they're doing arithmetic applications of math puzzle solving to release endorphins in their head to give them a high. It has no application in reality.
That's what they're doing when they're solving math problems. They're getting high. They're having AI win the slot machine for them and they think it's their efforts to win that money. That's a false high. A mathematician would not solve a Sudoku puzzle. A mathematician would write an algorithm that solves all Sudoku puzzles. That's the difference.
You guys, you guys on here that come on here, you little imbecile. I mean, some of you are adults too. You cannot visualize mathematics. You can only apply mathematics in different fields which has visuals.
It's not visualizing math. It's an application of math.
You can't visualize math. You either know the theorems and definitions and how they work or you don't. That's math.
When you're talking about applying math into graphing, into geometry, into physics, then you can take the math and you can describe things with it. But there's no visualizing it. It's a language. Can you visualize the words I'm saying right now? No. But you can understand what I'm saying. That's the application.
Okay. Anyways, so so let me get back.
This is story time. I need another coffee.
Where are we at? Okay.
So, I was 24 when I started for math, physics, and engineering. My me my message here is for you guys that are going back to school at any age. It's a lot easier to learn math as an adult than it is as a kid because you understand the intricacies of patience or you understand how to be patient more and you're you're more interested in the in the long-term process of it.
You know, it's going to take a long time and that's what's enjoyable about it because it's something that you can do for the rest of your life. And I can tell you that math math essentially gets better and better and better the longer you do it.
Uh you will have times where you take breaks and be and need to you need to take a break. You got to let your brain heal for a month. Sometimes you do so much work with your brain. You just need to take a month off. You have to. That's why that's why the school system's set up the way it is really. You need to have an extended period of break from learning. You use the summers to uh build your resume, not to fart around and play video games.
You you build your resume over the summer if you're in college. But but you guys look, when I was 24, I started at the community college, Dallas County Community College, and I had to take a test to place me, a placement test to see where I was at with my level of education. I was at a middle school level of education for math. I did not know what x squared meant. At some point in my life, I probably knew what x squared meant, but at that time, I was like, x and there was a two at the top.
They're like, if if y= x^2 and x is 2, what does 2 equal? 4 8 16. I didn't know the answer to that. That's how little I knew about mathematics. I didn't know anything about mathematics.
Now I'm an expert. I know a lot. Okay.
But the the the goal of becoming an expert at math is not to know everything about math, but to be able to understand any type of math quickly. To open up any book, look at a theorem, and apply it quickly. That's what employers want.
Quick interpretation and analytical skills.
They don't want to hire somebody that knows how to use AI or watch Khan Academy or cheats pirates digital content that's a lying cheating thief that uses AI like a consumer. Employers are not looking to hire somebody that can do something they can do. Employers Employers can use AI to solve problems.
Employers can watch Khan Academy.
Employers can use pirating software to steal. Why would they hire you to do that?
Think about that. If you really think AI is great, why would anybody hire you to use AI when they can use AI? You're becoming useless because you're addicted to the high, you're like, you're like the girl that sees the guy that looks like Edward at a party and is all excited because it's he's making her feel all tingly, that cute guy, and his the friend next to him, she's like, "Well, he's kind of cute, but he reminds me of like my brother."
She's misinterpreting survival instincts because at one point in her life, she was on a roller coaster or something and she was experiencing what it's like to die and then instantaneously the rush of going down the roller coaster flips that almost permanent trauma from the experience of almost dying to something very exciting. So now she associates that survival instinct to get the hell away from that situation as a reward of being high. And that's what happens with the sex. So this guy that looks like Edward is going to ruin her life because her body naturally tells her to stay the hell away from that guy. But she's interpreting that feeling, that rush because of the roller coaster ride. So the guy who reminds her of her brother, her body is telling her that's a safe person because they remind me of family.
I can feel comfortable with them and trust them. And the other person makes me feel like I'm on a roller coaster because they're going to kill me.
So, she goes with Edward, has sex with him, gets an STD, realizes he's banging everybody and their brother, and uh realizes 20 years down the lo road that the guy, the nice guy that she should have gone with, married her friend, and they have a wonderful family and a wonderful life because she misinterpreted her survival instincts.
That's what you guys do when you're using AI, you're misinterpreting your survival instincts. It's making you feel high, and you think because you're feeling high, you're doing it correctly.
You're don't you're not a mathematician doesn't solve problems. A mathematician deres algorithms that solves all problems.
This is so the different you know this is this is where math is introduced so terribly in educational systems. It's just done completely incorrectly. I am the leading voice of learning math modern. Okay. The entire world needs to listen to me. I'm not kidding. I need to be the leader of the entire world on learning math because not even the greatest mathematicians in the world understand how to teach math. They just understand how to do it. I understand how to learn math. I am the unofficial leader of earth for explaining how to learn mothering math. Do you see this?
Okay, this is 3.14.
The math pimp you better recognize. You think you're tough with a pistol in your pocket slanging dope pimp and hoes, homie. I want to see you do a differential equation in your head, son.
So, I started at 24 at uh I had to do pre-alggebra 1, pre-algge, listen to this, okay, these are full semester courses, three credit hours each. Pre-alggebra 1, pre-alggebra 2, pre-alggebra 3.
Preysics, pre-chemistry, precomputer programming.
That's uh three semesters of courses that are three credit hour courses that don't count towards my bachelor's degree. They're just a substitute for my missing high school education.
Then I had to do college algebra, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus 1, calculus 2, calculus 3, vector calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, chemistry 1, chemistry 2, physics 1, physics 2, C++, Java.
Then you have your other courses, of course. That's all before junior year, guys. That's before junior year. I had to do all of those courses. Each one of those courses were backto-back semesters. I had to spend three years basically doing what most high school students do.
So by the time I was 28, so I was like four years down the road, I got accepted into UT Dallas with a scholarship paying for the whole thing.
I got a free ride, 28 free ride, home paid for.
And I got there and I was not prepared for the level of coursework and structure at the university compared to the community college. I was used to the online homework, searching the internet, finding a a solution, copying it, plugging in the box, ding, ding, ding, go to class, memorize the solutions, copy them down on paper. I was used to that. And I learned nothing that way. I mean, not nothing, but I didn't learn I didn't I wasn't getting the proper education.
So, I failed. I didn't fail, but halfway through the semester, I was like, I got to withdraw all these courses, ret courses and retake them. Guess what happened? I lost the scholarship.
It's a huge reason why I make this, guys, because I went through all the crap you guys are going through from both ends. I went through everything that all of you, high school students, adults going back to college, people failing college. I went through all of this, every possible avenue you can imagine. That's why I am the unofficial leader of Earth. And when it comes to telling you how to learn math, I am the one you come to. Nobody else. Nobody else can teach you math. Only I can.
Okay? You need to understand that nobody else knows how to do math. They only know how to blindly apply arithmetic without source to get high a natural high, a release of endorphins for solving a problem. That's not math.
That's a drug addict. I I remember when I first started doing a lot of math. I was sitting at on uh I was sitting at the community college in Dallas sitting in one of their chairs studying for like two hours doing math and I felt like I just dropped acid or something like I felt high as crap. I don't know maybe some I felt really high. The endorphin release it was like an exercise high like people get runners high. I felt really high from doing it.
That's when I knew something was very wrong.
No. So, uh, anyways, cumulatively, I've done about 220 credit hours. A lot of that graduate level. I majored in mechanical engineering, physics, and math. Bad idea to double triple major. I ended up graduating with a degree in mathematics, certificate in pure mathematics. I'm I qualify for a certificate in applied mathematics as well. And um so you can call me an applied and pure mathematician with a ton of experience in physics and applying it to physics and theoretical physics and graduate level mathematics.
I was invited into a PhD program for physics. Da da da da da the pandemic came. I got long-term for two years during the pandemic. I couldn't even calculate the tax on something. My brain was so mushed. I I had to apply for disability. actually took about a year to go through the disability application process and it was the last interview. I went in for the last interview and um I had snapped out of the long-term co and the the guy that interviewed me who's a doctor and he told me he he asked me a series of questions and he said what happened to you wasn't from the virus. It was from the from the um vaccine you took and I took the J&J one which was taken off the market and he was like that J&J vaccine is what did this to your brain. it wasn't the virus.
And um so I believe him because the the long-term CO actually hap started before I even contracted COVID for the first time. And then I got CO back. It was weird. I got CO over and over and over and over again. But I never left my home and none of my neighbors got it. Tell it tells me as a scientist observing how that virus operates. It it to me it must operate like the HSV herpes simplex virus where once you have it, you have it forever. becomes part of your DNA and it just when your immune system's down, it pops up when people's I I've been observing this because my parents, they get COVID at the same time every single year since this happened every single year. It's every every December they get CO and I would get it every summer and it's as a scientist I'm like this is not you're not contracting the virus.
It's already in your body. And you know the funny thing about this is uh every time somebody says they've got COVID, they tested positive with COVID, I ask them the same question. I go, "How long ago did you take a vaccine?" And they go, "A couple weeks ago." Every single time. And anybody who doesn't take a vaccine never gets COVID.
So what tells me is that you have the virus in your body already. And when you take that vaccine, the vaccine literally attacks your immune system to restrengthen it or something. It's not a It's not a dead virus. They're not giving you a dead virus. They're giving you a chemical that weakens your immune system to boost the uh combat combating of it. I believe that's how it works.
Don't quote me on that. So, when I see people get CO, I ask them, "How long ago did you take the vi vaccine?" They go, "Couple weeks ago." Every single time.
And I go, "Well, that lowered your immune system, which activated the virus that's already in your body." Just like when somebody has herpes simplex virus when their immune system's down, if they're not taking medication, then that activates the virus. I'm like, it's the same as that. So, as a scientist, that's the connection I made. I I mean I I wonder if that if they're making that connection too or not that it's already in the body permanently now permanently.
We all have it permanently.
I don't know. I'm not I'm that's not my field. I'm just as a scientist that's the as a mathematician I I detect algorithms and patterns. To me that's what I'm saying. And I haven't taken the vaccine in like four years and I haven't been sick since I stopped. I took the booster got sick. I stopped. Haven't been sick since I stopped it.
I'm not saying that I'm pro or antivaccines. cuz I'm pro vaccines. I'm just telling you I'm recognizing patterns is all. So anyways, uh long story short, I'm just telling you guys my story to kick this off to get you guys you feel comfortable with my background to know a little truth about me and uh to let you guys to help you understand that it doesn't matter what age you are when you learn math, but it's actually easier to learn math when you're older because you're more patient and you're willing to accept that you are an idiot. The kids that are in college, they're not willing to accept their idiots. They think they already have PhDs when they're still freshmans.
They're like, "I'm a freshman in college. My parents paid for me to be here. That means I have a PhD already. I know everything." That's how they act.
They're not ready to learn math. And they won't. They'll cheat with AI and ruin their future. You guys are ready.
You cheated with AI, you ruined your future. Now you're ready to repair it.
Welcome. I did it, too. We all did it.
Okay? I did the same crap when I was a kid. I'm not immune to it. That's what makes me mad when you guys when these dumb kids get mad at me. I'm like, I was just like you. I'm trying to tell you, stop being like me. You kids who disagree with me, you need to understand you're exactly like me. Do you want to be like me? Because you are like me. If you disagree with me, if you agree with me, then you're not like me. You're smart.
I'm highly intelligent, but I'm definitely not smart. I'm clever and intelligent and savvy, but I'm not smart. If I were smart, that would mean you're dumb. And if you're dumb, that means I'm dumb and somebody's smarter than me. So, I don't like that word.
It's negative. Anyways, I'm getting down to the end of the memory on my computer for this recording. I got to watch the bar slowly tick. I need to get a new computer with more memory.
My message to you guys is I was 24 when I started college as a high school dropout with no knowledge of math whatsoever. Now I'm a freaking expert.
I'm the I'm the world leader in math education.
Nobody else on this planet understands how to teach math properly. Not a single person. Me, I do. I'm the world leader.
You come to me if you want to learn math.
I will show you how to do math correctly. And we're going to start that today. I'm going to be doing a special video series showing you how to learn math correctly. Ultimately though, all you have to do to learn math correctly is choose a book and master that book and that's it. And then move on to the next book, one book at a time. And I'm going to show you how to do that. We're going to choose one book and master it.
We're going to start with the pre-calculus book and uh at the pre-alggebra portion, I'm going to show you guys how to do this. Okay? I'm g I'm going to do like the first 10 20 lessons free on here. We'll do a live session probably Friday will be for adults maybe something like that. And then if you want the full library, you're going to have to become a member to my Plum Academy website because uh I don't I can't work for free, guys. I don't I don't understand why you guys would think that this kind of service would ever be free. I have to pay my bills. I mean, what world do you live in?
Anyways, all right. So, have a nice day.
This is the end of story time with author Jonathan David.
I'll see you guys in the next one.
