Ours is the era of inadequate AI alignment theory. Any other facts about this era are relatively unimportant, but sometimes I tweet about them anyway.

        Then teach it to people who want to learn that much physics. Voters need demand/supply and *everyone* needs Bayes.

        teaching supply/demand curves in HS is a terrible idea. Decent overview of why: http://noahpinionblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/101ism.html?m=1 …

        That doesn't say "voters don't need Econ", it says "teach empirics that contradict the fallacies, in the same course".

        @zooko it's a sin. But, that's a tangential point.

        trig without complex numbers and simple harmonic oscillator application is the problem.

        Highschoolers have a finite amount of time to devote to learning; there are tradeoffs.

        4 years is a long time -- surely there's room to move curriculum around

        Measure theory isn’t a highschool subject, so you can’t Banach-Tarski more time. Adding econ gives up something.

        this is why high schools offer electives :) - for me, econ was required and a choice between stat or calc

        what I mean to get at is all above subjects are important, and I agree that more stats over calc would be good

        I haven’t used much trig outside of classes or having fun with math. I have for econ, probability, and statistics.

        Trig is useful for other things, but most people don’t do signal analysis, physics, computational music, etc.
