Sample reviews
gollark: Friedrich was saying that people should be taught Taylor serieseseses to avoid them thinking stupid things about the Earth and whatever. I'm saying that even if people somehow knew that they could just fail to apply it.

gollark: Since anecdotes obviously prove ideas:
gollark: People are perfectly capable of learning maths and treating it as abstract nonsense they refuse to apply anywhere.
gollark: What? How would that help people?
