Literacy of Ideas --> Language/Communication

Literacy of Nature --> Math/Science

Literacy of Human Actions --> Money/Economics

We give public education in the US 13 years to fully cover literacies in these three areas which every member of a society necessarily interacts with in daily life with very few exceptions

Currently, we cover the first one...poorly. The second one we cover even worse; it's how we normalized the "I'm not a math person" mentality. And the third one, we don't cover at all 🙄😔

The end result is that most people were never fully taught & don't understand how to live a sane, balanced, normal life, and many must be continuously told what to think & how to behave throughout their adulthood.
