and it's fun _because_ it's evolutionarily important to learn new things, and thus natural selection for humans have made learning (and mastery) "fun". Mastering mario cart takes lots of learning.
Maths isn't fun only because the kids aren't learning in class, and isn't gaining mastery. It's taught poorly - maths can certainly be fun.
- Dalewyn 4y agoI wouldn't argue Mario Kart or games in general are "evolutionarily important", but we both agree it's fun. >It's taught poorly - maths can certainly be fun. My point exactly. Math is fun and valuable, but academical math is terrible; it teaches nothing of importance and most people end up hating math because of how irrelevant and worthless the way it is taught is.
