Edit:You are confusing intelligence with knowledge and please don't make statements without knowing what you are talking about.

compared to a 35 year old man?

If you believe this then you lack general intelligence as that was the comparison I made not the straw man bullshit you used to have me read another book.

Do- you- understand- how- logical- fallacy- works???

Many researchers have defined intelligence differently, but they all boil down to a combination of memory and problem-solving abilities.  
in·tel·li·gence
noun
1. the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.

Also repeatedly mentioned in the definitions is:  rational thought and the ability to deal with cognitive complexity.

Intelligence has absolutely nothing to do with indoctrination or education, nothing to do with a surrounding culture or religious dogma - unless these environments replace facts with fairy tales and squash the individual ability for rational analytical thought.

what I said to notim.

You don't understand what 'your brain developes over time' means ?
Edit: Also there are cases of genius kids who teached themselfs math at the age of 5 and got a PhD at 21.
10 is the new 35 https://www.google.ro/amp/s/amp.business...es-2012-12. And about the strawman , I refuted the ideea of intelligence not beeing intrinsical, no need to aproach that 5 years old 35 years old , wich I also refuted with this post .
