Doing poorly in a class should be a reason not to go into certain fields. A student who can’t hack organic chemistry does not belong in medical school. A student who can’t hack calculus shouldn’t go into engineering. These courses should not be simplified for their sake.

Exactly!!! Not everybody should be a physician, or an engineer, or a scientist, or an accountant, or whatever. Some people just don't have the cognitive ability, intellectual talent, or mental agility to do these things. Lack of ability may "dash some peoples' dreams" ... so be it. If you can't hack it, the sooner you find out the better.

When I attend psychiatry grand rounds at the medical school with over a hundred MD’s, I can actually feel my consciousness shift toward the group intellectual consciousness. It’s a left spinning feeling several feet above my head.

Being there would fry an emotional consciousness.
