Zed A. Shaw, Painter

Sure, there's not a lot of direct science, but you're forgetting that painting includes chemistry (make your own paint, pigments) and physics (optics could be an entire semester through replicating old masters like vermeer's optics tricks). Not to mention astronomy.

Theoretically so, sure, but I've painted thousands of portraits and never used astronomy. And landscapes. Starry night skies. Know nothing about it. And I feel the theory of evolution, climate science and probability are extremely important - so we survive ourselves.

Oh, I have, and I dont dispute you can, and will, learn a lot, about stuff you never dreamed you might. I still think its inadequate as the *sole* education, if our species is to survive.

"if our species is to survive." Yeahhhhhh, I think kids have quite enough pressure and wouldn't want to then add on that them learning biology is somehow going to save the human race. That's just cruel. But, to your point...add one science to the list. Which?

Hm. Evolutionary biology, I guess. It covers a lot of psychology, biology, endocrinology, sociology, history, some scientific concepts, and gives a grasp of research analysis.

It's also where racists go to claim white people are superior so....nope that's not a good one at all.

Oh. Yes, I see. I might have gotten a good one -that recognized the biases of almost every "intelligence" or "race" or "sex" metric he mentioned -and rejected them as not useful. If we can reform our evo biology through corrective social lenses, would u be up for it?
