Not ADD, just easily amused.

Finding angles using sine of theta is important (I mean, it’s probably not being presented to you in a way that will help you understand why it’s beautiful/important, but it is). Education is not like an arbitrary set of hurdles placed in your path so that those of us standing on the sidelines can have the pleasure of seeing you stumble as you try to jump over them. You study what you study because over the last few thousand years, humans have decided that these things matter—and maybe we’re wrong in what we’ve decided, but you have to at least acknowledge that a lot of thought and many generations went into making the decisions to value the academic pursuits we’ve chosen to prioritize.
