Where It All Went Wrong

I talked with three professional mathematicians who didn't know Math is real. There's English Majors--which that's all they do--who can't read Charles Dickens. There's people graduating High School with 4.0s and have taken calculus who can't do simple 1st grade math. 54% of Americans read below a fourth grade level. There are experts on Husserl who work at McDonald's and men who barely passed college tenured at Yale.

A perfect example of what's wrong with our world, is we have CAD and Dynamometers, but physicists don't use them. Instead, they erase data points, and use basic calculus and well behaved curves to do their math. That and people with College Majors in Math believe Math is subjective, and people who are explicitly studying to read English, cannot read Dickens. That's what's wrong. And people in the leading edges of science are actually pontificating on whether a whale is a fish. They really don't know what a fish is. It's that bad.
