Allow me to extend in "why is the state of education so abstract and uninspiring?" witch have a simple answer: because people without culture are easier to master. The target of all education reforms in the west (and I suspect anywhere) was and still is the creation of big flocks of ancient Greek's « useful idiots » to be employed as slaves, without even being aware of their condition. Just listen last Klaus Schwab speech at G20/Bali https://youtu.be/DQjXODh0TOg https://youtu.be/DQjXODh0TOg where he describe the near future he want: - IoT, poetically named Industrie 4.0, to allow OEMs control from remote, witch means de facto owning hardware formally sold to someone who legally/theoretically own it now; - Sharing Economy witch means re-sell continuously the very same object, as a service/leasing etc making peoples compete to access such scarce and needed resources; - corporatocracy, prosaically named Stakeholder Capitalism or Corporate Governance, but practically meaning: Democracy must end, substituted by a dictatorship of those who own and know against all others. Followed by it's interview at APEC 2022 https://youtu.be/NWHDgXhMkgs https://youtu.be/NWHDgXhMkgs where he state that China "it's a role model for many countries" and "we should be very careful in imposing systems. But the 'Chinese model' is certainly a very attractive model for quite a number of countries". You need Gustave Le Bon bipedal bovines to realize such vision. Pushing the old « you were not made to live like brute beasts, but to pursue virtue and knowledge » would be a disaster for such model... People must know just the very little they need to do some tasks, NOT the whole picture.

So, the reason why some people cannot understand abstract math is... a Conspiracy by Western Elites? Let me wear my tinfoil hat.

  > "why is the state of education so abstract and uninspiring?" witch have a simple answer They are answering why education is "so abstract and uninspiring", talking about the educational system specifically. Not peoples abilities. They are actually implying that people could understand if given the chance.

You have a point though it takes reading Herbert Spencer/"Social Darwinism", Gustave Le Bon, Edward Bernays, Walter Lippman etc. to even think on these lines. People forget how these people and their theories gave rise to and defended institutional Racism/Colonialism at the crucial "Dawn of Modern Industrial Society" starting in the 19th century. They put forth the notion that "the general populace are idiots that need to be managed" by a select few. Bernays says this in his book Propaganda; "The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of." The same idea has persisted in different forms into the current "Modern Times".
