I'm pretty sure this guy won't be doing any differential calculus, no matter how hard he tries. The fact is that we all have different potentials, shaped by both our genetics and our environment. It's dishonest to say "anyone can learn/do anything." As someone in this thread already pointed out, it's PC bullshit that makes people feel good.

But no, everyone can not learn anything. That's why we have exams and things like medical licenses, so people can prove if they've learned something, and those who can't do it are prevented from causing harm to others.
