I haven't had calculus until university

>>12408647
>3rd grade
>Sappho
You fucking degenerate

>>12408665
Hans Christian Andersen is more sexual than Sappho

>>12408647
I just skipped everything and ready to fight the trans-dialectic patriarchy of capital!

>>12408673
Fuck. You've even got yourself justified with your moral equivelancy. Presence is not substance.

>>12408647
This is very poorly thought out. No 6th grader could comprehend Milton or Descartes.

>>12408647
>Alphabet to Aesop's Fables in three languages in a year

>>12408728
No average 6th grader could understand quintics either. Isn't that the point?

>>12408736
He didn't say average

>>12408734
Joyce did it

>Saul Kripke is the oldest of three children born to Dorothy K. Kripke and Rabbi Myer S. Kripke.[7] His father was the leader of Beth El Synagogue, the only Conservative congregation in Omaha, Nebraska; his mother wrote educational Jewish books for children. Saul and his two sisters, Madeline and Netta, attended Dundee Grade School and Omaha Central High School. Kripke was labeled a prodigy, teaching himself Ancient Hebrew by the age of six, reading Shakespeare's complete works by nine, and mastering the works of Descartes and complex mathematical problems before finishing elementary school.[8][9] He wrote his first completeness theorem in modal logic at 17, and had it published a year later. After graduating from high school in 1958, Kripke attended Harvard University and graduated summa cum laude in 1962 with a bachelor's degree in mathematics. During his sophomore year at Harvard, he taught a graduate-level logic course at nearby MIT. Upon graduation he received a Fulbright Fellowship, and in 1963 was appointed to the Society of Fellows. Kripke later said, "I wish I could have skipped college. I got to know some interesting people but I can't say I learned anything. I probably would have learned it all anyway just reading on my own."[10]

>teaching Kantian metaphysics to 3rd graders and saving entry level fiction for 11th graders

why?

these threads are depresssing

>>12408937
the number of people who don't get the joke really is frightening

>>12408962
If you think the math curriculum in the OP is a joke you're a true brainlet

>>12408893
I agree, 3rd graders are already way too advanced for Kantian metaphysics.

>>12409006
We did trigonometry at year 10 or 11 level lol

Also never knew about logic until first year university

>>12409039
That's because you were taught in a public school and probably weren't a great math student regardless.

>>12409058
and probably american

>>12409058
Ye I was, now I am top of my class in English at university now because maths is for spergs.

>>12409144
The second 'r' is silent

Ergo, it is useless

QED

I'm actually skeptical of numbers. They aren't real. They're used for language games, and nothing else.

>>12409182
You are the worst kind of person

>>12409007
the kantian retaliation has begun, absolutely based. hope to see more people taking him down some pegs, to an actually deserved stature

What did he mean by this
