We don’t learn that math because it [isn’t] practical for adult life
I love this argument because it’s like a guy who catches and eats raw fish saying that we don’t need fire. Like, man, you’re not even trying to use it, though.
I think you missed that the next portion of their statement was connected to the part you (inappropriately) added the missing word to.
They’re saying, essentially, that it’s important to learn math just for a rounded education, even if it lacks application. They’re saying closer to “even if we’re eating sushi, we still need fire”.
I’m aware the quoted person agrees with me. I’m responding to a common public sentiment.
Ah, alright. :) sometimes these things are hard to tell in text.
Haha, no problem, friend. :p

and in fact had forgotten all about the fact that he cooked it over a fire as a treat for last Christmas 😂
