He claims to have 120 IQ from an online UQ test. Maybe he is finally realizing what the rest of us already know. Those online tests are wildly inaccurate.
Meade's biggest problem is that though he has unlimited energy when it comes to things he WANTS to do, he just doesn't have the discipline to follow through with the things he SHOULD do. Meade does what he wants he wants to do and nothing else at all. This has led to his lot in life. A man in his forties who still has yet to support himself.
On the specific subject of Math/Stat, the only thing that is going to help is for him to actually sit down and put effort into studying it.
Cramming and memorizing are not enough to pass a math/stat course. It is less knowing what the formulas and concepts are and more on how they are applied to the given problems. This takes practice. 15 minutes/day will get him farther than powering out for two hours once a week(time may vary given the workload of the course).
Math/Stat courses help people with their critical reasoning skills. Perhaps if Meade actually learns something in this course he can concoct a decent argument on his point of view instead of continuing to posit things that would be laughed off of a high school debate team.
