Is it possible to learn math without a natural inclination for it?

Why bother?

Depends on how far you're willing to go, and what you'll do with what you learned. If you're retarded, you'll usually be behind your peers. You will be able to learn math, but at a much slower pace. You will be able to apply it, but at a much more limited scope. You can make it a career, but don't think you'll be good.
Basically you can learn anything you set your mind to, but remember that others do the same and are gifted in the subject, making you always inferior to them.
But if it's just for fun? Definitely go for it. You'll lose nothing.

Emphasis on careers though. If you're not naturally gifted then fuck off. Tired of handholding these undergrad losers who cannot do a job for the life of them because they hear it makes good cash.

Yeah, I've learned a great deal of theoretical physics and mathematics via Youtube lectures the past several years. I have no formal education in the subject, but man has learning it made me fascinated.

Of course Ted has foreseen chatgpt solving real math problems. Most likely will happen in less than a decade.

I doubt that you've learned anything.
