Is there a way to learn general relativity WITHOUT those concepts? My curriculum made sure to introduce all that before going into GR, didn't know that wasn't common. Guess that was my point of confusion.

That's what I thought, which is why I don't get the meme. Who is it talking about? Who has learned about GR but gets confused by manifolds? How else would they have learned GR?
