Comment Colonel Philip Corso's book... (Score 1) 113

...outed the whole UFO thing as a ploy to manipulate businesses into creating what became the military industrial complex. They would tease these companies with fake alien tech that supposedly could do the things they wanted developed, for example, night vision, lasers, cruise missiles, and semiconductors. It also outed the rivalry between high ranking officers in different branches of the military as potentially reaching into the realm of murder. All over money - to develop weapons... That's what UFOs are all about, it has nothing to do with people visiting us from another planet.

Do people really actually truly need to know every single detail of higher maths? People use math to solve a problem, so most people only need to know what type of maths to use in what situation. Someone who can't solve an equation on paper but can say what type of equation the computer needs will still be find the solution. Nobody in STEM is working on paper, even if they technically could. If maths was approached in such a conceptually focused way it would push way more people past that impossible barrier keeping people out of STEM. Settle down if your upset, I'm not here suggesting postgrads would do this, but not everyone needs to be a senior project manager with a lifetime spent in school and 200 years of experience. What we do need is people who can solve problems with the tools available to them, and that's what we should be focusing on.
