I was in high school, and I neglected math classes, like quadratic equations, because I didn’t think they were necessary for everyday life. Yes, I fell for utilitarian fallacies. I discovered that Bhaskara’s formula isn’t meant for everyday use; it teaches you rigorous reasoning, patience, and decision-making, all of which are useful in business. I know that the education system inherited from old Prussia is complete crap. But if you refuse to learn quadratic equations, you'll be easily manipulated,whether by populist politicians, con artists, or others. Yeah, I threw the medicine away because of the incompetent doctor.
