I believe that we should start mathematics education with programming, then go to generator systems for numbers and operators over them, then how to form lattices and operators on patterns in the lattice, and do approximately continuous math and physics only at the very end.
That is the one thing that puzzles me in you: why can't you see that the Deep Ancient Tradition you are so deferent to is in fact unbearably stupid? Probably at least as much as the silly Western ones, since it lead to a lower standard of economic and military development?

The relevant tradition is not Western or Eastern but orthogonal to both. Every large culture has developed some tools and traditions for liberating the mind, but in none of them these tools are popular with the mainstream. Not even with the mainstream of the seekers.

ps. agree with your point, every culture has developed tool to liberating the mind (my tweet tried to highlight 2: ancient arab with Algoritmi & contemporary US with Allan Kay). I assume we have a unique opportunity right now, to formulate a truly global kanon - a first.

"The deep ancient traditions" i'm truly interested in, are the ones of nature. Earliest known life forms on earth are 4b+ years old (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earliest_known_life_forms …) There is much we still don't understand, which is active in us as well.

If by "The deep ancient traditions" you mean things like Mediation or Psychedelic experiences - I find tremendous personal value in *direct experience*. Its a practical practice path, which i recommend for anyone.
