I loved math and science the best of all my classes in HS and college.

I still like solving puzzles, and math ones are fun.

I’m happy I am as old as I am.

Use the kind of rules from Harrison Bergeron, by Kurt Vonnegut.

All people who can do math have an advantage, so they must be handicapped by continuously being bombarded with loud noises that make it impossible to think.

Here's the story. Very short and fitting for today's society.

I spent over an hour on Friday afternoon trying to explain to a group of PhDs the mechanics of solving Reynold’s hydraulics equation by using iteration, and I think only 1 in about 10 got it.

The universities are graduating people majoring in fluff.

I speak from experience; penn state is the largest anti free speech Marxist organization on the east coast; they only do indoctrination and socialist engineering anymore.

Your version is entirely to rigorous.

Future math question: If Thomas Jefferson owned 500 slaves and he whipped 100 during the year, how should the un-whipped slaves feel?

Yeah, I guess the days when STEM classes were not affected by liberal b.s. are over. “Math is hard” Barbie, can now get a degree in a STEM subject because it will have been so watered down any moron will be given a degree in it.
