Now, here is what I understand. The US has severely fucked up math education. Like, SERIOUSLY fucked it up. What does math need?
A new fucking name! I mean brand. The brand is toxic, and we should dump it. People hate math, and this is a religious zeal. I don't think it can be saved by smart people; it needs to be solved by good marketing.
Let's re-brand it as "hacking the universe of truth" or something like that. I wonder...
People think of math as this separate thing that exists to make the lives of nerds more bearable. Re-branding it as "hacking the universe of truth" is not going to change this cultural perception.
