🤔 This reminds me of the whole "education as a human right" debate 📚👨‍🏫. I mean, think about it - if we can make learning about complex stuff like math fun and engaging, why not apply that to other subjects too? It's all about how we approach education, right? 🤝 Do we want to just drill facts into people's heads or inspire a love of learning that'll stay with them for life? 💡 I'm all for making math (and learning in general) enjoyable and accessible - it's not like Villani is trying to dumb down the subject or anything 😂.
