>personal finances should be taught at school! Why do redditors always say this when talking about how "useless" math education is, when they could use said math education to do personal finances if they had more than 2 brain cells?

academics are notoriously bad with finances. they're all poor, except for those with inherited wealth, and they're all outraged with jealously over people who are better off than themselves.
jwst was supposed to have cost "only" $500 million of other people's money, which academics somehow feel entitled to waste on their useless pie-in-the-sky experiments. ended up costing many, many times more than that. academics never blinked an eye at the cost. just a bunch of worthless wasters.
what did they get out the money they wasted?
more stupid colorful space blob pictures (oh wow its soo tripppy maaaaaaannn!!!) and the opportunity to contribute to the replication crisis literature. nothing worthwhile whatsover came of all the massive amount of waste.
are these the people who should be teaching finance?

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 19 23:05:24 2023 No.15371355 School should be abolished. Dimwits can't be educated anyway, midwits will soon lack a need for education because of AI, and withwits are better served just reading textbooks by themselves.
