Q: Kernal_task is making my mac slow

I don't know what to do to turn off the kernal_task in task manager.  Help. I ran these trying to solve the problem from a different post but then I got lost as to what to do with them.

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System

Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

    #1) Respect the privacy of others.

    #2) Think before you type.

    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.
