Hi Brian, Im a big fan! Thank you for taking your time and doing this AMA. Im a 16 year old Israeli high school student and I usually get good grades, but a couple weeks ago I messed up on my geometry test, my math teacher came up to me and said - "math is like drawing some people can't draw and some people are just born bad at math". that comment really got me depressed, it's hard for me to believe some people are "just born bad at math" and i'd like to ask you as a person who's career is math based - what's your opinion on the matter, are some people born bad at math?
