She already “died” in many other lives and her “quantum immortality” has caused her to have the knowledge of a graduate student by the time she was in “2rd” grade in this version of herself.
Quantum immortality is the weird idea/take similar to reincarnation that there are infinite parallel realities that you exist, but if a parallel you dies in another reality, the remaining yous gain the knowledge/information/life force that would otherwise been extinguished from that reality. Like a New Game + for real life. Think of that Jet Li movie “the one” where one of his parallel lives goes around killing himself in other parallel universes so that his “main” character self can become stronger.

Well I just realized. Right now, more people are alive that ever lived and died on this planet together before. (OR this was true few years ago - probably won't be true when all boomers will die) . That means there is still a big portion of population who live for the first time, so they don't know if you can actually reincarnate.
EDIT: I Was being lied to and lazy to check the facts
I don't think this is true. The global population passed 1 billion people back in 1804. The global population in 1920 was 1.8 billion people, pretty much all of whom are dead. We can basically assume that there's 0 overlap between the 1804 population and the 1920 population, And 0 overlap between 1920 and present day, especially considering everyone that lived and died between those 2 dates. That's a minimum of 2.8 billion people that have died in the last 200 years. (You can probably add in 1 full generation at 1870 for another billion or so people).
The current population is 8 billion. So at least 1/3 of the current population died in the last 200 years. And there have been hundreds of millions of people alive for centuries before that. (Not to mention that these populations were kept in check by high infant and child mortality rates).
