the actual annoying thing about people's dislike of math is that it's kinda... mistaken? because the school subject called math, as it's currently taught, isn't really mathematics, it's just pen-and-paper computation class. even into high school (and often college) they're still teaching you rote algorithms and testing your ability to do rote algorithms with pen and paper. when i do math for fun i don't even do all that stuff, i use Wolfram Alpha all the time for algebra and integration and etc.

math is a puzzle game! you get to solve tons of puzzles just by visualizing stuff and thinking about stuff and it's the best puzzle game ever because you can make up your own puzzle in 3 seconds that takes hours of time and insight to solve and you get all these awesome eureka moments and at the end you've proven something universally true. and you don't need to learn very much to start having fun with these puzzles - classical geometry in particular is filled with them and has like no prerequisites and (almost) no numbers.

it is genuinely like if handwriting class was called calligraphy class and whenever you said you like doing calligraphy people would be like "omg calligraphy scares me, i hated being tested on my cursive" and it's like ??? that was not calligraphy. you have not done calligraphy

A musician wakes from a terrible nightmare. In his dream he finds himself in a society where music education has been made mandatory. [...] Educators, school systems, and the state are put in charge of this vital project. Studies are commissioned, committees are formed, and decisions are made — all without the advice or participation of a single working musician or composer. Since musicians are known to set down their ideas in the form of sheet music, these curious black dots and lines must constitute the “language of music.” It is imperative that students become fluent in this language if they are to attain any degree of musical competence; indeed, it would be ludicrous to expect a child to sing a song or play an instrument without having a thorough grounding in music notation and theory. Playing and listening to music, let alone composing an original piece, are considered very advanced topics and are generally put off until college, and more often graduate school.

Western history loves to brag about their geniuses, philosophers, thinkers, and innovators throughout history but as far as I know, nobody talks about geniuses in non western history. Why can’t an Aztec community have their neighborhood Einstein who loved to study engineering and physics and helped build an efficient-running town?

Reblog is you're uncomfortable with how eurocentric our understanding of history is.

“everyone knows those quiet girls. the ones who never say anything at school unless a teacher makes them. the ones who you see every day but don’t know what they sound like when they laugh. lindsey is not one of those girls, but the teacher wishes she was.”

anneuhken-deactivated20200828

“lindsey was always loud, especially when she was being kind. she didn’t smile at people to make them happier, she screamed all the reasons they shouldn’t be sad. it was hard not to listen.”

i can’t wait to read this book tbh

I want a story about a king whose son is prophesied to kill him so the king is like “whatever what am I supposed to do, kill my own kid wtf is wrong with you” so he just raises him as normal, doesn’t even tell him about the prophecy, and instead of some convoluted twist of events that leads to the king’s murder the son grows up and when the king is very old and dying and in excruciating pain the kid is just like alright I'mma put him out of his misery.

broliloquy

The king’s son becomes the new king, and is prophesied to defeat evil and bring an age of prosperity. His generals and knights all crack their knuckles but he pretty much ignores them and focuses on strengthening the infrastructure of his kingdom. Forty years later he is old and sick but still hearing his subjects’ grievances, and a general’s like “how will you defeat the prophesied evil now? You’re old and weak.” Another visitor, a teenager fresh out of the kingdom’s public education system, looks at the general like he is an ignoramus. The king eradicated poverty, housed the homeless, taught the ignorant, ended class exploitation by abolishing the nobility and imprisoning the corrupt, and established a highly respected guild of doctors that recently figured out how to cure the plague. There are no brigands because there is enough wealth for everyone to live comfortably; hiding in the woods and taking trinkets from people simply doesn’t make any sense for anyone but the desperate, and the people are not desperate. Evil is a weed, explains the teenager. It grows in cracked roads and crumbling houses and forgotten corners, rooted in indifference and watered by suffering. But the king demands that broken things be mended and suffering people be made well.

No evil lives in this kingdom, says the teenager. It starved to death before I was born.
