Hello there! Decided to drop by here for a quick, little post.

One, the video itself. I thought that the little animations that he had in there were interesting. Maybe a bit more organized but not too big of a deal. His rhythm could have used some work though. Rather, he should have chosen a different one. Felt a bit choppy at parts. Anyways, onto discussion stuffs.

What you learn depends largely on what your school has to offer and what you decide to pursue outside of class yourself. Many schools will offer courses that teach the things that he says were not taught, such as economics. In fact, economics is an alternative to a mandatory class that many people choose to take. The teacher knows what she is doing and is able to explain the concepts well.

All of these things that he considers as 'not immediately applicable to daily life' (paraphrasing here) largely depends on the people themselves. Quadratics won't help you much if you decide to become a writer or professional musician, no, but you sure as hell do need it for jobs such as engineering, astrophysics, particle physics, abstract mathematics, chemistry, architecture, etc. Difficult jobs to be sure but applicable nonetheless if you decide to go down that path.

It is largely a matter of perspective as to what we think is important or not. I for one enjoy school, however much stress it brings me. But you know what? None of it really matters. Life, school, not schooling, jobs, homelessness. People care about these things, yes, but only because we make it so. Do whatever the hell you want with your life and as long as you enjoy it you won't be disappointed. If that includes running a drug ring or living in the wilds of Canada doing nothing but finishing, be my guest. If it means becoming CEO of a large venture company raking in billions a year, that's fine too.

Viewpoints matter, most especially your own. If you don't think it's important, don't focus on it. Simple as that. Do what you're obligated to do and then ditch for something you consider more important. Or don't. Either way, in the end the world usually ends up the same as before. I have no idea what I just wrote so sorry if it seems disjointed or harsh but it is 12am here and I'm not thinking straight.
