This has been my thinking for so long. Why teach a bunch of courses students say is boring? Can’t we instead teach basic logic and philosophy in early years and then start students on basic set theory (or some equivalent) in their second or third year and have them slowly derive mathematics themselves?

- edgyquant 4y agoThis isn’t really related to what I asked though? I don’t think drilling basic arithmetic is “teaching the students the basics of sets and having them derive mathematics themselves” and you surely don’t either
