We're at an age where we (adults in creative fields) are getting dumber in some ways and not practicing parts of our brain that can probably help us a lot with memory and basic survival skills.
Let's bring back times tables, 5th-grade science, social studies quizzes, etc., and start practicing them again every day. If we can scroll endlessly on TikTok or read our daily horoscopes, why not test our brains and wake up ancient knowledge from years past that has not been exercised in possibly DECADES??
Especially math, though. Girl, I am in danger!! The other day, someone asked what 8x5 was, and for some reason I immediately said "35" and was like, "no wayament-it's 40..." and my partner was like, "isn't it 45?" And then, we were talking about different types of rocks, and I could name igneous and sedimentary, but I fully forgot about METAMORPHIC. Y'all we don't know jack shit anymore and I am concerned. I am genuinely interested in printing out grade-school quizzes and doing them as an activity with friends at this point. It is my actual fear to become a dumbass!!! I am trying to be a smartass 4ever!!!
