How do I study like Fischer?

Maybe he was homeschooled? i swear ppl assume school is everything

The exact importance of school can't be known until you're an adult.

But by then it's too late, because (for most people) your chance to go to school is when you're a kid.

Is school everything? No. But you won't know how important (or unimportant) it is until much later, so you have to just trust adults for now

Even better, if he had a time machine, he could practice infinite hours a day!

Wait, time machines make you not age right?

Sure, homeschooled kids are sometimes much better educated than kids who went to a building with 100s of other kids for their education.

Just for laughs, google Tipler cylinder. It's a type of time machine that's mathematically compatible with GR (General Relativity).

I mean. how is knowing when the battle of hastlings took place going to help you in life? and This isn't about better educated. and yes sometimes though kind of rare they can be better educated. 

Neat, I hadn't heard of this.

How is being ignorant going to help you in life?

If you aren't learning anything worthwhile in school, that's probably the fault of the educational methods being used. School is supposed to teach you useful patterns of thought, not isolated facts like the date of the Battle of Hastings.

Another GR compatible time machine would be the Alcubierre Drive.

none of them help you in life. that's a fact. 

You can ask similar questions about factoring polynomials.

The answer is that it helps In two ways:

1) Having well rounded knowledge gives you much better common sense (makes your predictions more accurate) and it makes new knowledge easier to learn because you can relate it to things you already know.

2) Logical thinking, memory, and even just learning itself is something that can be strengthened over time. You'll never be buying milk and need to factor a polynomial, or write an essay about the meaning of a poem, but the logical manipulation of information, the ability to remember and follow the steps of a process, will be useful everywhere in life.

It's a warp drive, not a time machine. And it has a few problems... such as there being no way to turn it off once it's been turned on.

and it doesn't necessary need to be in school then if just learning is what you're on about.

FTL travel leads to time travel possibilities (remember, the speed of light is the speed of causality) and I don't recall ever hearing the latter, even if true, it'd be the least of its issues.

Like I said, you can also learn at home, sure.

But since it's important to the health of a country to have a non-moron populace, typically politicians set standards and kids are sent to publicly funded schools.

There's no communication between the inside of the bubble and the leading edge. Meaning that flipping the "OFF" switch has no effect on the warp bubble.

well. schools seem to be doing more harm than good those days with all the bullying and stuff

At least in the US, we don't like to put much money into schools, so they're understaffed and underpaid.

If you're a politician or make weapons of war you make a lot of money, but if you teach kids? There's no short term profit, so you get no money

By "communication" do you mean causal connection?
