This should be the focus of any campaign for improving educational standards. "Do you see people ? THIS is why learning a little bit of math is important ! THIS is why you need to be educated ! If you want to see when you're being lied to, when you're being manipulated, you need to pay a bit of attention in class ! Saying that your iPhone has a calculator ain't good enough !"
Grrrrrr !
Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?
