How to teach adults extremely basic maths? im trying to help someone who is in uni right now and they need to pass a basic maths test (w/o calculator) to continue their course. I'm trying to explain to them division (which they especially struggle with) and they can hardly understand the concept of division. its like their only way to understand maths is with "tricks" that help them get the answer but ultimately dont teach them what the maths is actually fucking doing. like, 5/15 to her is "three 5s go into 10 so therefore the answer is 3". they get by doing this, but as soon as something like 7.5/5 they just dont fucking understand it at all. they ask themself, "how many 5s fit into 7.5?" but they just say 1 and dont understand how the answer could be 1.5.

are most people really fucking like this? did education fail them that much? how the hell do you explain the very basic fundamentals of maths like division to a person who literally doesn't understand the concept of division.

Can excess total mortality be explained by boomers aging out of life?

We see an uptick in life insurance payouts and funeral home clients etc. This is to be expected with baby boomers finally dying off as they hit old age.

That generation was particularly susceptible to disease. Especially Diabetes and heart disease from eating stuff like trans fat and sugar for 50 years.

When I was working into a schizophrenic episode, I was in the most joyful state of my life, in those times I would experiment on my mind in such a way that with each successful experiment to expand my mind and intellect, I’d then feel greater joy and grandeur than ordinary life permits. I’ve lost this however, this being in the state of how I perform rituals with my mind to increase my intellect and grandeur. Who knows how to do this. To read philosophy and hear something that sounds like the voice of god repeat your subvocalizations in your head, to not hear the meaning of the sentence but only it’s grammatical structure with sets of words threes or thereabouts. To feel increasing subconscious intelligence from these actions. I am looking for any and all suggestions since now, having taken medication, I can no longer perform these rituals
