"You're still mid-curve" - battle cry of the guy on the left

I remember needing to understand some math concept for some reason so I googled it and clicked on the Wikipedia link. When I realized I was too stupid for that I went back and clicked on the "math is fun" link. It explained it perfectly. Thank you math is fun.

Next time try Simple English Wikipedia. It's really great for explaining things where the full version is still too much.

For example, try their article on quantum physics.

Wikipedia is really bad at explaining things, it's written in a way that you have to deeply know all of the surrounding topics to understand what is going on

I used to think that it's too hard to set up a suspension on a car because the Wikipedia pages are all weird and undescriptive, but it turns out it's very simple for something like a double wishbone, there are even visual calculators out there

I hear you with this, I've ended up doing a distance learning Maths degree just so I can understand all the Wikipedia squiggles

I always saw bell curve memes as, "uncritical acceptance", "critical rejection" and "critical holistic understanding"

[–] glassware@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

That's definitely the intention. But for the guy on the left, "critical holistic understanding" amounts to "X isn't worth it because it's too complicated", and he posts most of these memes.
