He literally would not be.

2018-08-07 05:18:27 UTC  

his teachers thought he was a fucking idiot for a while

2018-08-07 05:18:33 UTC  

No they didn't lmao

2018-08-07 05:18:39 UTC  

early on

2018-08-07 05:18:41 UTC  

He was an exceptionally bright student as a kid.

2018-08-07 05:18:41 UTC  

Yes they did

2018-08-07 05:18:57 UTC  

Le urban myrh einstein wuz a dummy xdxd

2018-08-07 05:19:13 UTC  

He was thought to be dumb early on

2018-08-07 05:19:36 UTC  

No, he wasn't.

2018-08-07 05:19:42 UTC  

>le denialism

2018-08-07 05:19:51 UTC  

I'm denying a myth, yes.

2018-08-07 05:20:07 UTC  

I guess people perpetuate it to subconsciously console themselves for their shitty grades.

2018-08-07 05:20:14 UTC  

But no, he was a good student as a kid.

2018-08-07 05:20:21 UTC  

Nobody thought he was dumb.

2018-08-07 05:20:56 UTC  

Can you prove he wasn't thought to be stupid as a child at one point by some of his teachers

2018-08-07 05:21:09 UTC  

because 90% of the things I've read about him mentioned this

2018-08-07 05:21:27 UTC  

I would imagine, yeah. It makes for good reading.

2018-08-07 05:21:32 UTC  

Lagggggggg

2018-08-07 05:21:43 UTC  

Most history classes teach Howard Zinn.

2018-08-07 05:21:50 UTC  

Doesn't make Howard Zinn correct.

2018-08-07 05:21:57 UTC  

Yet most people believe what Howard Zinn said.

2018-08-07 05:22:09 UTC  

And a lot of academia regard him as correct simply because it's chic.

2018-08-07 05:22:52 UTC  

I mean you might be correct

2018-08-07 05:22:56 UTC  

I know they attempted this with alan turing

2018-08-07 05:23:02 UTC  

portraying him as some autistic savant

2018-08-07 05:23:09 UTC  

It's fashionable to do so.

2018-08-07 05:23:12 UTC  

and it wasn't true

2018-08-07 05:23:17 UTC  

He was quite social and well liked

2018-08-07 05:23:41 UTC  

I just want to see the source you have refuting the common story

2018-08-07 05:24:01 UTC  

because with Turing the difference is 90% of things you read don't mention him as some autistic fuck but rather a well liked and social individual

2018-08-07 05:24:09 UTC  

with Einstein it's the opposite

2018-08-07 05:24:22 UTC  

Like you could read a cursory biography of his early life. He had exceptional grades and was an autodidact.

2018-08-07 05:24:26 UTC  

Find it anywhere basically.

2018-08-07 05:24:44 UTC  

But you won't find claims that his teachers thought he was an idiot anywhere credible.

2018-08-07 05:25:02 UTC  

long tangent

2018-08-07 05:25:08 UTC  

I'll trust you since it does sound fishy

2018-08-07 05:25:29 UTC  

and I know for alan turing this was attempted but failed to gain traction

2018-08-07 05:25:36 UTC  

Are you dumb he literally got expelled for his behaviour
He wouldve been sent there for that

2018-08-07 05:25:53 UTC  

You're asking me to prove a negative rather than a positive, that something is untrue. You could just read a biography to disprove it yourself.

2018-08-07 05:25:58 UTC  

Nowadays they give you IEP (special ed) for getting in too many fights

2018-08-07 05:25:59 UTC  

Not necessarily grades
