They should just dissolve mathematics. Just teach kids how to live under bridges, how to hunt bears, how to survive off roots/berries, and how to find safe spaces.

I think you meant how to live under a bridge, fly a sign, collect EBT cards, and find safe spaces.

The real problem here is philosophical. Most people have no knowledge of the elementary distinction between a priori and a posteriori knowledge. One is obvious logically and the other is derived from experience.

One is deductive and the other is inductive, if you prefer.

2 + 2 can never, ever equal 5, no matter how many times you hear it or see it written or look at actual objects to try to make it different.
