What's the math that's music and not just scales? Nim is a fun example. Last week me and a few coworkers deconstructed a game for fun after hours. Imagine a tic tac toe board. Players take turn placing only X. The first person to make 3 in a row loses. What's the optimal strategy? If you go first and play perfectly can you guarantee a win?

That touches on one of the most interesting things I learned in college, in a class outside my major as it would happen, that some games are "solved" and some very simple-looking ones aren't. I'm sure you already knew that, but I guess that's as close as I ever got to just "playing" math.

Real weird of Mao to take away everyone's guns when he was in the middle of a civil war and also not in control of China.

On one hand, it's a classic "poo poo that he never said.", But on the other hand, too many right wingers openly like Hitler now, so I guess they don't want to tarnish his good name by linking him to gun control.

This is so interesting to me- and I'm not minimizing your experience- because geometry was the only HS math class that I loved, and did well at. What I liked was that it was basically a logic class in which we worked our way through proofs from simple to increasingly complex. In retrospect, it was a super old-school (as in Euclid) approach. I don't think I've ever used what I learned in the "real world", but it absolutely changed my way of thinking; i.e., what you want a HS math class to do.

I don't think I've ever used what I learned in the "real world", but it absolutely changed my way of thinking; i.e., what you want a HS math class to do. See, if it was actually taught in a way that encouraged you to reason things out or try to come up with a proof method on your own it would do that. The way it was done when I took was the teacher gave us the proofs and we had to memorize them. We had to write exactly what she gave us on test day; no missing steps, no deviation. It didn't matter at all if you actually understood what you were writing or why the steps were what they were. I realize how much of a horrible disservice it was as education because it made me despise math. I had that teacher more than once and just wanted to get through the classes. She tried to get me to take more math but I didn't. Now I think math is awesome; I was a math minor in college and have kept my studying up. I think back to before that class and realize that I actually did find math interesting. Geometry was the turning point because of bad teaching.

Weird, Sweden doesn't have any prayer in schools and is one of the least religious countries in the world, and I don't think they've even had a mass shooting. They must beat their kids a lot.

You've not been on a college campus in a while, then. Left, right, apathetic, people are stupid regardless of educational level. If I may be so bold, moreso in a lot of 4-year+ higher education places since getting to college requires some privilege of time, money, attention, or all three, and hence blissful ignorance of the cruelty of poverty and situation.

With the exception of it being generally pro-military built in, mine was pretty liberal and mostly focused on making sure all the kids had direction going out of HS and the means to accomplish it. And even when it came to the pro-military stuff, the teachers actively talked out of military enlistment unless for good reasons. I thought that was normal though I guess it comes down to how the individual head teacher runs things.

Our JROTC was full of all the gently caress ups who got sent there to 'straighten them out' which instead just created this critical mass of gently caress ups that were even more annoying to deal with for the teachers there. Which, from what I read in GiP, is not unlike the actual military

The problem is that they're starting to fight for their rights to circumvent that because "muh freedoms". Solution: Dig a huge pit, Build Teh Wall (tm) around it, then toss in the antivaxxers and their kids. Every so often toss in a chicken or a goat; let the rest of civilized society forget they exist.

What's the math that's music and not just scales? Pattern recognition, mainly. I’d define math as finding patterns in things you see and then proving they extend to things you can’t see. Kids like finding patterns, but proving that they hold is a new step. It’s possible to get that by middle school age if it’s taught at an age appropriate level.

 Who's that in the image? Please say it's some villain from a movie.  3 billion? Really?  The alt right kek brigade are pre-emptively making GBS threads all over Oprah now because their own side started spreading the rumour that she was running for president. Despite the fact that she denied it and that the Democrats would never accept her on a dem ticket.  I fully support this. Considering that treason is so hard to convict for in US court that no one has been convicted for it in 65 years. They should gather up all the crap the Clintons every were accused of and make it one big treason trial. After they are found "Not guilty" it can all be dropped because justice has spoken.
