Education is bad!

[Faith No More]

Not for your or my personal life, Mael. I'm talking about science.

For my personal life, I have more than enough math knowledge.

Throw you or I into a physics equation, and we're like, "Durh. What the fuck does that symbol mean?"

Higher mathematics is crucial for the progression of scientific knowledge and humanity learning more about the Universe. For you and I to live or do all the things you and I do? We got all we need.

Math is VITALLY important to our species. I just don't need to know the more complex portions for what I, as an individual, do.

This reminds me of an incident when I was in high school. I was an intelligent slacker, and my calculus teacher didn't like the fact that I wasn't putting effort into. So, she didn't really care for me. One day when she was handing back tests, she gave me mine with a 'C' on it, and I said, "Yes," because I was absolutely certain I had failed it. She says to me(in front of the whole class), "Why are you glad you got a 'C'?" I told her I thought I failed and was happy to get that grade. She went on and on about the importance of math and how we should apply ourselves towards it for our careers in the future. "When am I ever going to use calculus?" She flew into a mini-rant about how important it is to our careers, and capped it off by asking me what I wanted to be. I looked at her and calmly said, "A writer."

All she said was, "oh," and she went back to what she was doing.
