Most frustrating NPC way of thinking around math is the question:

“When am I ever gonna NEED to know that?”

It’s a complete cop-out from learning anything challenging and it’s so widely accepted that you can’t even discuss anything cool in math for a minute without someone asking it.

Here’s a life tip:

YOU DONT KNOW WHAT SKILLS YOU NEED BECAUSE, IF YOURE NOT A TOTAL LOSER, YOUR LIFE WILL CHANGE MANY MANY TIMES OVER ITS LONG TIMESPAN.

YOU ARENT LEARNING FOR YOU - YOURE LEARNING FOR THE YOU THAT YOU WILL BECOME AND SOCIETY WANTS TO LIMIT WHO THAT CAN BE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

STOP LETTING THEM!!

That is all.
