It’s not just addition and subtraction lmao. When you don’t have parents or a school to help you it isn’t that easy to just magically figure out

Getting mature is realizing we dont need things to be extra difficult to take advantage of the less educated, especially when the system in place tries to create a less educated class of people

Well, yes, which is why most of our peers are pretty uneducated. The working class is kept mostly “docile” partly through the intentional design of our education system.

This is still ignorant. Yes, everything is technically on Google but it’s not about that. It’s about accessibility of that information both in its complexity, feasibility and taking into account the cognitive load of the every day person. Instead of choosing something random to make you feel superior, we should have better systems in place to help those who have trouble

If a patient asks a simple question about a vaccine, I will answer it. I’m not going to be like “lmao just Google??? Did you not pay attention in freshman year bio?”

Not a perfect example, but it’s to illustrate the point that that’s not productive in any way and just a tool to posit them as inferior and you as superior

Being able to have a question, and then find the answer is literally the bare minimum, I don’t even think you can graduate if you can’t do that
