  • Oh for god sakes. The vast majority of things you learn in school, that aren’t basic things like language and physical education anyway, actively have you participate in the process of working through to the correct answer.

    I’m not going to say that you remember the process. But you didn’t spend weeks in class learning how to punch numbers into a calculator, you were taught about the process, why that process works, and literally hand held through the process of you being the one to come to the eventual answer.

    This applies to many subjects, like science and math.

    I will admit, this may not be the case for all classrooms. But I can say with certainty that this is the case for North America, and most if not all western nations.

    If you truly think you’re simply told what to think and turned out to the world… you likely didn’t actually pay attention.



  • Kelvin is just our word for it, but that is the point of “no heat”. It isn’t arbitrary, there is no “negative kelvin” just like you cannot make something colder than absolute zero.

    So if you take the difference between “coldest possible temp” and “average summer temp”, then slice it in half, you’re getting temperatures that would kill most life on earth.
