Do you think the work is still a long way from being completed?

 

[Dylan0223]

Yes, Miwa! You got it girl! You can do this! Sieze the gap, take the lead! I believe in you!!!

Ya'll gotta get creative with guessing what she's wearing.
I'm going with school swimsuit that's old and small on her somehow 🤔

Yuu is a bit special, but I think his issue is largely trying to do things the way a genius would, when he is far from one. This chapters shows it pretty well, the girls are pretty shit at teaching him anything because to them it's just a matter of "feeling it". If he was following the example of some mid actor, rather than a top-tier one, he would probably do better (not awesome, but better).

I assume the entire message of this arc will be that trying to measure everyone by a genius' standards is absolutely myopic, and that, if fostered properly, even a mediocre person can make something of themselves, even if they will never fully close that gap.

Agreed. I think people forget that a lot of geniuses are pretty lackluster in a lot of other places, especially in practical skills. I've been in career academia and know pretty damn smart PhDs that can't change a tire, fix a leaky toilet, or do their own taxes. Meanwhile your average working class joe can competently do all those things. Society has placed too much value on geniuses who, on average, don't really contribute that much to society compared to service workers. Very few "geniuses" are creating or discovering new things and most are just spamming out (usually biased) research papers on meaningless shit for a paycheck. Who do you think you would miss more in your day to day life? Your highschool graduate garbageman and plumber or the genius PhD researching dead languages for 20 years?

Bikini or nude?
Taking bets! Taking all bets!

+1 reason it's better to seperate both side or gen-ed will pull the rest down while getting crush at the expectation of the rest

Cute how Yui screamed into the pillow like that. Kisaki do be evil. I fully expect Miwa to be wearing a swimsuit, likely of the racing variety.

 

[GamingSage]

My girl making the first move! Team Miwa for life !

There's actually a name for what the girls have: "The Curse of Knowledge".

Think of it as the opposite to the Dunning-Kruger Effect: whereas with D-K a person doesn't understand the amount they don't know, with Curse of Knowledge they don't understand that someone doesn't have knowledge that they themselves take for granted.
