Literacy of Ideas --> Language/Communication
Literacy of Nature --> Math/Science
Literacy of Human Actions --> Money/Economics
We give public education in the US 13 years to fully cover literacies in these three areas which every member of a society necessarily interacts with in daily life with very few exceptions
Currently, we cover the first one...poorly. The second one we cover even worse; it's how we normalized the "I'm not a math person" mentality. And the third one, we don't cover at all 🙄😔
The end result is that most people were never fully taught & don't understand how to live a sane, balanced, normal life, and many must be continuously told what to think & how to behave throughout their adulthood.

quoting nevent1q…kqkgNo one in the west was taught proper economics. We all had to learn this outside of school. This was done on purpose.
I can empathize with them. Most people don't want to care about this kind of stuff and would rather trust experts. Ironically if we could get them on hard money they wouldn't have to.
