Why maths should be compulsory.


On its way to becoming the most controversial tweet of 2021. Because people who did not take maths in school would not know an 'If-then' statement if it painted itself purple and danced naked on top of a harpsichord, singing, 'if-then is a conditional statement with a hypothesis followed by a conclusion, which is a result of the hypothesis, and applies only if the hypothesis is true.' Probably because that explanation itself is an example of an if-then statement, but mainly because they don't understand how logic works. And wholly because they are bigots and want to hear what they want to hear.

Later edit: Perhaps other than maths, a course in English punctuation (specifically on the use of quotation marks) would have helped people understand that he was quoting someone. So, we have ended up with idiots thinking that Parag is saying that all whites are racists because they don't get either conditional statements or how quotes work. Sigh!
