Calculus is like air.

@BrentD was thinking about another about giving everyone ADHD meds because they couldn't focus for 15 hours straight at age 16 on esoteric math... but seemed a bridge too far...

Math, physics, chemistry are all way easier to understand at post 35 than they ever were as a teenager.

A sad but true statement about our world today and the people in it. Whining about being burned out from calculus at 18. One can only wonder what's next.

I doubt I've ever spent more than an hour on a math topic (if you think it is "esoteric", what can I hope to explain to you?). Certainly expecting people to understand anything today is out of line. Is it any wonder that people make the decisions they do?

But hey, if a witty cartoon works for you, whatever. Sometimes. I'm glad I'm old.

It is...

Whining about being burned out from calculus at 18. One can only wonder what's next.

Not whining just a commentary on facts, whining would be saying "I don't want to this because it's hard" commentary, is "hey highschool/college has becoming an increasingly egregious pressure cooker that is destroying talent, we are now all experiencing the result"

Personally the hardest I ever worked in my life was 16-22.. took me about 10 years to enjoy a lot of academia again.

We as generations, had wildly different experiences.

As a millennial I find it very interesting that while my generation is kinda known for being anxious people pleasers the pressure has been so much greater on gen Z they are basically saying F-it right out of the gate at 23.

I think fundamentally you and I completely agree about the intrinsic value learning, and these subjects... but what I'm saying is that rather than inculcating a generation to love learning, we systemically burnt out a crap load of people.


Calculus is just a metaphor for all of it.

That Macauley Culkin is 42 years old is a little scary.
@wllm is saying, "WTF is that?" and , "Did he have to study calculus?"

 

[AvidIndoorsman]

"WTF is that?"

we had the internet

"Did he have to study calculus?"

I mean... I think we can all relate
