Basically no one is taught math.
Sure, people get thrust through something called "math class". They learn things called "math".
And some learn the true Art DESPITE how it's taught.
But most folk never see math.
Instead they're taught COMPUTATION.
@Romy_Holland Consider using xylitol instead. Fine if they ingest it. Doesn't harden their teeth like fluoride will, but they can focus on fluoride later when they can spit things out reliably (which comes well before they get their adult teeth anyway).
In 2024 I spend a few months drafting my overall philosophy and vision. It's been sitting quietly as a Google Doc for ages, privately shared with a handful of folk.
I'm now publishing it on my blog.

@TickleMeElmoOG@Romy_Holland IME it's gotten harder & harder to relate to young women as peers. Most 20-somethings read as kids to me now. Some early 30s women too. You can technically have kids as an older man, but it gets increasingly harder to have a FAMILY.
@TickleMeElmoOG@Romy_Holland This meme is the guys' version of "Be a girlboss, build your career, and freeze your eggs. Family can come later." It sounds good and maybe has some truth peppered in it. But it points people in the wrong direction.
Oh man. X keeps changing stuff. I had no idea it sticks this βRTβ thing at front when reposting now, and doesnβt link to context anymore. Also, why is it βRTβ given that all the βtweetβness is gone?
I wrote my Twitter/X "intro to memetics" thread *after* finishing "Valentine's Logos". So in some ways it's a bit more refined, even if quite a bit more shy on detail and scope.
