" Eureka! "


Recommended Posts

How many of you automatically had a sense of what I'd be on about there?

Only, amazingly as I found it, I said to a neighbour, the other day; " And I had this Eureka moment. " And he's like, " Eureka ...? " And, before I know it, I'm up to my neck in having to explain Greek blokes getting into baths, water volumetric displacement and all sorts of things.

I thought to myself then; 'WTF do they teach in schools these days?!' Then it dawned on me. Of course, they now focus on the importance of accepting it's fine, if Johnny wants to be called 'Gilly' today, and turn up in a pretty, pink dress.

And I tasted the dust of collapsing civilisation. And I wanted it to stop, so I could get off.

I'm afraid the classics are becoming more and more irrelevant.

They will teach the formulae, but no mention of  Euclid, Pythagoras, Archemidies.

Only old autodidacts like myself and Astanley still refer to the classics in everyday conversation ! ? !

Cheers.
