Imagine living as a farmer in medieval Europe near a small village and you make MOST of your shit yourself or with help from the local blacksmith. You’d use all kinds of things and ideas that we don’t use any more. You need to be creative to solve your daily problems and find ways to do stuff efficiently. Like imagine you’d need to dig out a bit of earth for an “almost square” and need to calculate the area and volume of earth you’ll have to move.
I’m not sure what I’m trying to say, but I think modern education is wasted on the modern human.
We are not curious enough. Dopamine hit of figuring out a cool thing requires lots of time, meanwhle videogames and movies are guaranteed in short term.
We are not to blame tho, time to spend bored is simply not something we have; every other moment of our life will be either at work, preparing to go work, or driving to work, afterall.
I predict the farmer dug that square on snow instead of dirt. They certainly weren’t farming during mid-winter. Must be boring. I will still be labeling amazon boxes this december.
The point of the modern grade school education is to give any and every student enough of a education in any given topic to specialize in any field afterwards, depending on interest and opportunities, as well as create voting citizens that can understand at least the basics of any given social debate.
Modern education isn’t wasted. Some people just waste it afterwards.
And some people who want to destroy it to keep everyone as ignorant as your medieval peasants pretend that they don’t understand any of that.
Also smiths would literally just do that on vibes lmao.

I will punch some into the shape of one before shipment, just for you <3
