Just because that is true in your case Anthony does not necessarily mean
it is a rule.

You are to be Congratulated!

With this absolutely astounding statement of astronomically historic and
infallible intellect, you have succeeded in completely negating the
entire concept of learning.


You're confusing acquired knowledge with intelligence. Intelligence is
relatively static throughout life, but acquired knowledge tends to steadily
increase.

Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge; it has no effect on
intelligence. However, aptitude--the capacity to learn--is largely a function
of intelligence. Smart people learn faster and more easily, all else being
equal. This is why smart people tend to know more than stupid people.

Does than mean you don't aspire to get better someday?


In terms of intelligence, there is little that can be done to increase it.
Disease states and disorders (e.g., brain injuries) can reduce intelligence,
though.
