Ever notice how our entire economic system depends on people not understanding math? Guy starts with "just teach arithmetic" but quickly realizes the horrifying truth: advanced math skills would create financially literate citizens who wouldn't fall for economic traps! Differential equations would help people calculate compound interest and avoid debt traps. Probability would expose lotteries as statistical scams. Logic would prevent people from buying $60 "premium" HDMI cables that are functionally identical to $5 ones. The punchline is brutal: our economy literally runs on mathematical ignorance. It's basically a pyramid scheme with extra steps and calculus jokes. The next time someone asks "when will I ever use this math?" just point to your empty wallet and say "exactly."
