Education gives can give you a lot of useful tools, but the real challenge is putting these tools to use in the real world. What good is the pythigorithium theorem if you can't apply it to real world problems? We know A squared plus B squared equals C squared, but how wide would a doorway actually have to be to get Gary Kerness through? Leave the classroom and pull out your tape measure solve the problems in the community.
How would you make a doorway wider? Could you saw out a few beams and replace the supports from a doorway? Are there places where you can avoid having a door and make things accessible instead? Have you looked a statistics on muscular dystrophy multiple sclerosis and other mobility limiting conditions, could it happen to you?
This is a more difficult problem. Will we all be forced to solve over 500 metabolic equations simultaneously as our food becomes filled with a greater variety mutagens, neurotoxins, hormonal and metabolic, disruptors or can we instead benefit from harnessing the power chemistry to turn this waste into useful products we don't have to eat?
Caloric starvation has become rare, but an increasing number of people suffer nutrient starvation due to lack of fresh foods. Green plants once thrived on roadsides, but we failed to maintain them and instead focused blindly on genocide rather than management. We carelessly killed off entire species of birds with habitat destruction and blamed domestic cats. We didn't just destroy food baring plants, we neglected our duties as caretakers of the land.
Food banks, can easily provide plenty of high calorie preserved foods, but the preservatives affect the digestive process. Children are slandered, punished and left hungry in schools because we often fail to recognize the symptoms of gut swelling and distress. Marketers advertise treatments that cover the problem with drugs that compromise the bodies natural immune responses to the same poisons that keep food fresh and delicious. This is not preservation it's wasteful misuse of both building materials and food.
Reagents are not for eating, they are for learning and building. We have the equations and computers to test new products without even touching them. Let us regain our natural good fortune with sustainable old fashioned gardening, so we can regain our liberty to explore and learn about the world as free individuals, without being forced to meet the demands of some profit driven vain machine.
You may never get that good job you've been dreaming of, and even if you do it is unlikely to meet your youthful expectations. The future is not always predictable, but the scientific method can bring us close enough to the truth for practical purposes.
Thank You
