Juelz Santana asked which is more important: Reading or Math?

[MaxBundles]

Juelz.... you my nikka but damn

What a fukking idiotic take lol

 

[invalid]

this is that smart dumb nikka shyt.
reading and math correlate with each other.
math is a language that tells a story. you need to know how to read, comprehend, construct, and deconstruct the shyt just like any other language. the better you get at language grammar and reading the better you'll get at math.

Dude said financial literacy, starting a business, etc
Like dude how would you be able to do that if you can't read

If someone asks me which is more important I would refuse to participate in answering the question.
There is no use to debate this issue, you gotta learn both, it is what it is.

Reading strengthens brain connectivity and improves overall cognitive function by increasing activity in language and memory regions like the temporal and frontal lobes. It enhances skills such as focus, memory, and critical thinking, while also reducing stress and boosting empathy. Regular reading can even protect against age-related cognitive decline like dementia.

Short-term effects

• Reduces stress:
  Reading can lower heart rate and muscle tension, with some studies showing it is as effective as yoga or listening to music for stress reduction.
  
  
• • Boosts brain connectivity:
    Engaging in reading for even a short period can create stronger connections in the brain, particularly in the left temporal cortex, which is associated with language processing.
    
  • Improves focus and memory:
    Reading is a mental workout that strengthens the brain's ability to concentrate and helps improve memory retention.
    

Long-term effects

• • Enhances cognitive function:
    Consistent reading strengthens the neural pathways involved in comprehension, critical thinking, and problem-solving.
    
  • Builds empathy:
    Reading can activate the same brain regions used for understanding others' emotions, leading to greater empathy and emotional intelligence.
    
  • Protects against cognitive decline:
    Regular readers may have a lower risk of dementia and can maintain cognitive abilities better as they age compared to non-readers.
    
  • Increases knowledge and vocabulary:
    Exposure to new words and information through reading expands vocabulary and general knowledge.

Of course you do but one allows you to do the other- without being able to read you wouldn't understand math.

If you listen to the clip, they asked him that same question. His response and point was they have apps that can read contracts to you. They have audio books that you can listen to.

I’m picturing him listening to long ass voice memos from his accountant like

No that’s not true

Humans were doing counting, measuring, trading, and geometry long before writing systems existed

He feels they don't take it seriously, he doesn't like the fact they have hopped on the wave when a lot of them were clowning him when he did it first.

Okay, I could see him not liking the fact that they were hypocritical about it and now they're on that wave because they see that there's a check in it, but I was listening to Joe Rogan and even Combat Jack way before the Budden podcast was even a thing. I guess budden was the first "main" hip-hop one.

And dude next to him, agreeing and using Floyd Mayweather as an example
Floyd is 1 of 1 in his sport- 1 of billions in the entire world.
If that's your path and example then just buy scratch off tickets for the rest of your life and see how that works out

 

[Karank0]

Well, he did tell yall that he could only relate to math

 

[DaRock]

No that’s not true

Reading isn't just words/books/writing- it's understanding and comprehension you wouldn't be able to measure/ geometry, etc if you could not understand and comprehend.

In 2025 with AI, various technologies, you still get shyt that say "read the instructions and follow the steps ".
