The U.S. seems to be doing pretty well while sucking at math. Fact is you don't need everyone to know math. You only need the small group that engineers your weapons and nukes to know math, the rest only need to be able to pull a trigger or press the "Launch" button.

99.9% of the people have nothing important, relevant, or interesting to contribute to society. Shut up, go watch your Jerry Springer shows, and let those who can take care of things.
