Bostonian is implying it with a rejection of the notion of the growth mindset and the identification of IQ as a fixed thing.
How? Reading a calculus book will teach you that d/dx x^n = n*x^(n-1), which will help you solve calculus problems, but it won't raise your IQ. Thinking that IQ is fixed (or at least, very difficult to raise) does not mean you should not study.
