Most people innately know math, just lacking formalism. The stupidity is in just not accepting that they never learned.

For example, look at the famous renormalization. It's fucking simple. Incredibly simple. Look at logarithms. They're present all throughout nature and something most people intuitively understand. Yet it took some guy high on reality looking at horsetail to formalize it.

I'm guilty of this, but also correct. People who are actually good at maths are very sparse, and the ones doing degrees in it just memorize the textbook example questions and regurgitate the methods.
