littlewitchlingrowan:bookthrower:sindri42:whitepeopletwitter:Gotta make room for the smart shitFun fact as you go through college all the people majoring in any kind of math or engineering gradually forget how to do basic fucking arithmetic because their brain is full of the parts of math that you can’t do on a calculator in less than a second. Eventually if they’re cut off from their tech they pretty much have to ask an art major how long division works.That’s actually something that psychology has confirmed before. The brain retains things better when they can’t be easily looked up.Can confirm. My dad was a member of MENSA and a radiation therapist who also helped the docemetrists double check their docemetry (dosing math) and he was forever forgetting the most basic shit. -- source link
