I should note that the ability to explain things isn’t the same attribute as intelligence. I am lucky enough to have it. Other legitimately intelligent people do not.
Considering the extraordinary rarity of good explainers in this entire civilization, I’m saddened to say that talent may have something to do with it, not just practice.
I wonder what I should do. I’m smart, I seem to be able to explain things that I know to people well.. to my lament, I got the same problem as Thomas: I apparently suck at learning things so that they’re internalized and in my long term memory.
