So why don't we start school at an earlier age and try to make every mid-wit a genius and every retard a mid-wit? Just apply the "methods" parents used on their "prodigy" kids, on a (more-or-less) mass scale. Thoughts?

The method is just ancient Greek education

Another example
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Clerk_Maxwell

The obsession with IQ and "multiple intelligences" turns one away from what intelligence actually is and how to nurture it.

Literature has to be memorized, specially poems, so you have the language to express what you perceive. Perception (that is, intelligence) is increased maimly via literature becuase you are essentially working to perceive the same individual experiences of the poet and authors.

You don't need to be a toddler for this to work, you can do it starting today.

Language precedes math and "logical reasoning", in the right education literary training also precedes logical-analytical training, otherwise you end up with semi-literate morons who can't grow out of materialism and have no competency outside their very specific field (if that). If you don't have the linguistic tools to express your perception, you might as well not have one.

I gave plenty of examples of people much more successful than you (an anonymous who might as well be a basement coomer, a beast who despises good free information for the sake of his ego) who followed the recipe I described. I'm willing to bet you haven't read any classical literature work, let alone memorized it.

Cope. No amount of geriatric reading will ever make up for the fact that you weren't born hyperlexic. You either teach yourself to read no later than the age of four, or you will be sufficiently proficient with language.

This.

You need agreement from the elites.
In current strange version of Capitalism, rich elites want to educate their kids and grandkids (even though they killed and scammed to get on top and didn't do it by being geniuses),
the elites want masses to be dumbed down.

Nobody is interested in educating masses in US .

There are other methods.
We literally have the technology to identify geniuses by their brains. Maybe by age 10-15.
But this will clearly show what everyone knows - nepotism rules, financial elites and administrators have kids that are not geniuses in any way.
We have Parkinsons Law situation, when the country is run by kids and grandkids of the rich which are nothing special.
Once geniuses could be identified and they are not the current elites, what would their kids be doing? they would have to pass control of the governments and enterprises to the new elite.
But they won't.
They will go as far as kill anyone who approaches their power.
And hence, we are slowly drowning.

Not really. The hyperlexic's reading comprehension ability catches up to their decoding ability as their reasoning skills develop, specifically introspection. But the normie never, ever catches up to deficit in information absorbed in their formative years, compared to the hyperlexic.

You think this is NOT by design, and masses THEMSELVES do this?
You have millions of distractions. The actual true information is being drowned in half truths , quarter truths and various BS-es and outright made up stuff.

People are addicted to netflix , youtube, video games and tiktok scrolling and fakebook/instagram. It is addictive by design.
The internet was a thing that worked unexpectedly against elites, they have been saying this out loud. That's why it has been taken back over by big corps and glowies, basically, a lot of small content creators were wiped out and had to move to corp and glowie platforms.

People in charge don't want smarter people. Sorry bro. If they did, they'd automate more stuff and use that automation to give people more free time to increase their knowledge. Educational institutions will actually devolve more as time goes on. We are in the bad end timeline.
