Math is really cool but it's often made into a nonsense megabrain dick measuring stemlord contest to rank and filter students, plus very badly taught. It ends up just making people feel bad for themselves. I really wish more people eventually realised that it's cool after they left school, like they often do with history.
Yeah I was saying in the other reply that Indiana’s education system isn’t the best and I’m sure if I had a better teaching of it when I was younger I wouldn’t be so bad at it and just against it as a subject. I was always able to understand writing and history more than math and certain science classes.
The thing with math is that the way it's taught, many people just give up and decide they just don't get it because of some innate reason, which is stupid. And then they dislike it because it makes them feel bad for themselves.
Because the educational system in capitalist hellworld failed to actually teach it to you in an engaging and understandable way, causing you to falsely blame your inherent abilities, and thus forever turning you off to some of the most beautiful achievements of human intellect?
Sorry, I realize how presumptuous that probably sounds and it may not apply to you at all. But as someone who worked in education for over a decade, that^ was more often than not the reason people I encountered didn't like mathematics (and/or science to a lesser degree).
Makes sense. I was never really bad at it, just completely uninterested until I started to need it for gamedev shit like physics and shaders. It 's way more intuitive and interesting when I can feel each change to an equation.
I still can't read a math paper or article to save my life though, shit looks like enochian to me.
Oh no I completely understand that for some it is extremely enlightening and makes sense the world and universe to them. I feel like I never understood it completely or science to a certain extent.
Idk if it effects it but my dad is also terrible at math. I really clung and Excelled in mainly things like writing, reading, and history stuff when I was young so it just stuck with me. And you’re absolutely correct about the education system where I group up in INDIANA.
Dude fuck math. There’s a reason I was so bad at math and science and was only good at writing and history and became a dirty commie

Yeah, Arithmetic sucks. It even sucks for mathematicians. Math proper is actually pretty cool
