Because I said, wait a minute, can I do this on a calculator? Yes. There are calculators, right? And there's an unlimited supply of batteries, right? They said yes. I'm like, I'm out. I'm out. I'm not going to think about math now because this is not something I'm interested in. If I can do all this math on a calculator, why do I need to learn how to do it? Obviously, that's a dumb way to think.
I was 13. But I remember thinking that at 13 years old. I'm out. I'm not going to think about this anymore. I'm just going to use a calculator. This is so stupid. Just give me the result. Yeah. I don't need to know how you made all those numbers work. I know it's real. Okay, that's great. I'm interested in other things. But the thing is... School was designed to make good factory workers.

That's what school was designed for. The American school system, at least, was designed by the Rockefellers. And what they're essentially doing is preparing people to be cogs in a wheel.

They're preparing people to just show up and do what you're told and live this life of quiet desperation and just sit there and absorb whatever they tell you to because you're gonna have to go and work and do something you don't wanna do all day long and show up and do it again until your body stops working and you die.

I think... Well, the school system in America, it certainly was created by design. Yeah, but... The idea of sitting people down, especially young kids, for eight hours a day is a ridiculous idea.

But the schools and education go way beyond America and go back in time. There was always an interest for... writing and teaching and sharing knowledge. And obviously the very few lucky ones, centuries and centuries ago, were the ones that were able to acquire that knowledge.

Yes, but I think starting people off at five years old and sitting them in classes all day, that's relatively new in human history. This is what I'm talking about, this sitting people in classrooms all day as children. This is relatively new in human history. This is not something that people did hundreds and hundreds of years ago.
