Daniel and Intelligence

Daniel Larson, due to his upbringing, his intellectual disability, and many other factors, is not very smart. In fact, one may use Merriam-Webster dictionary's definition of stupid ("lacking intelligence or reason") to describe Daniel, with reasons explained below.

School Years

Daniel Larson originally went to the Tennyson Center for his middle school education and later attended Sobesky Academy for high school. Daniel has not revealed much about his school life. Larsonians presume that he was a social outcast due to his multiple issues. In Daniels school years, He has been a fun outgoing kid. He was even on the news running around so innocently. However, during these times, Daniel was having a lot of home trouble, resulting in where he is now.

Mathematics

Bob added up the money he made and Daniel finished the rest of the math. It becomes very apparent that Daniel does not know how to properly add money. An average of 400-500 a day would average out to $2,800-$3,500 a week. This would equate to around $146,000 to $182,500. With his estimate of making $23,000 a year, he would only be making about $63.01 per day. ($23,000/365 days in a year)

Despite supposedly taking Algebra II classes in high school, Daniel has the mathematical abilities of a kindergartener. This poses a major problem with how he deals with his finances, and probably impairs his judgment of chance which encourages him to further waste his money on gambling.

Daniel would upload a video of him doing a Math challenge where he wastes a lot of time doing a simple subtraction question, demonstrating his lack of mathematical expertise.

In this clip, Daniel is able to at least manage simple addition, managing to decipher the complex problem of six plus six, figuring out it is trelve. Dealing with larger numbers is more difficult for him; however, as the image above shows. This clip provides us with more evidence that Daniel just doesn't know how many days, weeks, or months are in a year, month, etc.

In this clip, however, our great leader is unable to solve 4², and struggles with 4-2. It is unlikely that he even knows how to multiply numbers together, let alone understand what square numbers are.

Speech

Main article: Speech Impediment

Daniel is able to speak English well enough however, he has a speech impediment which causes him to mispronounce words, such as pronouncing "woke" as "roke". Although he has been known to make speeches (on the spot, no less) like the one during a Roe v. Wade protest over the overturning of the Supreme Court's decision. However, he was off-topic during his discussion leading some to believe that his literacy is-to say the least-lacking.

Literacy

Daniel is going to dinner "rather" (whether) anyone likes it or not!

It is quite a possibility that Daniel would be functionally illiterate, mainly due to his poor grasp of money. For example, Daniel would spend copious amounts of money for one meal at a restaurant, when he could go to a cheaper restaurant such as a fast food place, and get multiple meals.

Reading and writing

Daniel can read and write basic information, but his typing style and use of language is somewhat idiosyncratic, not matching what most English speakers would consider "standard" usage. This could be because he heavily relies on the speech-to-text (dictation) feature on his phone, which sometimes interprets words based on Daniel's pronunciation, resulting in misinterpreted or altered words.

Handwriting

Daniel's handwriting, while not a confirmed diagnosis, exhibits traits often associated with dysgraphia. It can be perceived as the writing of a child between kindergarten and second grade, around 5 to 7 years old. On one occasion, Daniel seemed to create a shopping list, jotting down items he needed to purchase like "tv ᴅeɴɴers" (TV dinners,) "Jiuse" (Juice), "cheese," and "Bʀᴏwne" ("brownie").

The provided example, a message to Andrew, showcases Daniel's capability to construct adequately correct and coherent sentences despite his notably poor handwriting.

Hello Andrew this is Daniel Larson. Bob is currently sick and in the hospital. I have an update I have 3 new criminal charges. and a song release on July 1st, my phone number i... [message is literally cut off]

Gullibility

See also: Delusions, Nuclear attack, Trolls

Daniel is a very gullible person, prone to falling for obvious falsehoods given to him by his 'management'. He tends to unquestionably believe in the authenticity of individuals, even obvious trolls or impersonators, trusting them at face value. Daniel clearly doesn't even consider, maybe that person isn't really who they say they are. One popular example is his Celebrity in the hospital rambling where his managers trick him into believing that Grace had died, and making him spread the message to bystanders.

However, Daniel would have rare moments of lucidity when he realizes he is getting trolled; most notable when Daniel was stood up by "Grace" while waiting for her at the theaters, somehow realizing that he looks "delusional" and "stupid" and that "no wonder Bob thinks [he's] an idiot." Daniel seems to be extremely gullible when it comes to Grace in particular. Another example is when Daniel was tricked by some trolls pretending to be Grace; when asked for verification, Daniel was sent child pornography. Sadly, this was then seen by a secret service agent and Daniel had his phone threatened to be taken away from him. Daniel believes this all to be a big misunderstanding, and his saving of the photo was to show Mr. McDougall the crimes of his trolls.

Manipulation

Despite his disabilities, Daniel is able to easily manipulate others. His ability to convince others (like Bob) that he is a victim is most likely the only reason he is still alive. It doesn't look like Daniel is having too much luck convincing the courts that his terroristic threats against the White House were justifiable, however.
