Mathematics does not increase human intelligence. Mathematics are calculations of numbers. Unless physical objects are related to numbers, to use mathematics in future professions, mathematics are one more redirecting from individual thought needed to guide human behaviour.

Information is specific to whatever is being prompted to be thought about. In real life, when relevant ideas are needed to solve a problem, mathematics and science are the last memories required to find solutions.

Once school students leave schools, young adults are going to start learning all over again, learning something entirely new, having to see new things, brains trying to make sense of what they see, having been taught by school educational teachers to scan memories for simple single word answers on irrelevant to real life information. As young adults traumatised by learning experiences, will find no relevant memories to new employment tasks, many young adults will settle for dumb labouring employment: waitresses; food processors; transporting anything vehicle drivers.

The December 2 Lateline panel discussion four people involved are aware their success was obtained because they were not completely redirected by sports and irrelevant learning. They're success is mostly due to many of the remaining population are stupider than themselves. If they wish to increase they're children's chances of easy to obtain employment, keeping education curriculum dummying down global citizenry must continue.

That as the December 2 Lateline panel discussion was about school education, ideas that education causes children significant increased traumas was never mentioned, therefore in the memories of Lateline listeners, “traumatised children”, doesn't exist, otherwise Lateline listeners would think to hear more about childhood traumas.

Returning to the Mentioned December 2 Lateline program:
http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2016/s4586400.htm

The Lateline journalist host interviewer was limiting his questions to a released TIMSS study on science and mathematics, introducing questions on GDP per person in Australia compared to other countries.
Lateline listeners positive beliefs about other education practices would be misplaced.

“Scientist and Author: Ruben Meerman”, was stating ignorance on why the current education system in science doesn't work that poor performance had been around for a long time... even if he had bothered to watch “Revolution School” ABC episodes and/or consulted real independent from establishment psychological professionals.

“education director, Grattan Institute: Peter Goss” he recommends “build strong foundations” (whatever that means); examination data can help teachers find individual students failings, yet says without Gonski recommended funding, teachers can't devote time to individual students failings. As he was a guest on “The Drum” he states the same self-contradicting arguments to an ex-primary teacher, who she was seen to be reluctant to agree with Peter Gross's statements.

“Education Researcher, Centre for Independent Studies: Dr Jennifer Buckingham”, after data, she has no real ideas.

When media mention “reports” reports after reports come out, nothing changes. The above interview should suggest the quality of information in government reports.

My suggestions: students devoted to one subject at a time, after a month of mathematics without changing to different curriculum subjects. Students would hear and/or read what to do, constantly reinforcing how to do mathematics, ensuring students understood.
Changing subjects several times each day destroys the flow. Each time students return to a mathematics classroom periods, students are merely given a number of mathematical problems to solve, teachers at the end provide answers, moving on to a new curriculum subject. That's what happened during my pretend education years.

All three guest experts would have a degree in psychology supplied by an establishment controlled education system, whom the education institution would not wish to destroy the mythical benefits of education. Qualified experts disputing taught psychology theory, experts weaken their wealth increasing university qualifications in positions experts hold.

I speculate, in formulating reports, reports are formulated under education guideline justified by degrees. Existing variety of explained systems are justified by education systems formulated readings. Reports will resemble sentences read from education text books using the language that allows reading to go on with endless pointlessness, university students being charged annual fees year after year. Report formulators don't use individual Homo-Sapien intelligence, instead use book read intelligence.

There's a new television program narrated by Richard Hammond “Science of Stupid”, having watched 2 episodes. Like Mr T's “World's Craziest Fools”, most all the stupid activities are preformed by teenagers. Richard Hammond is merely explaining what teenagers are doing wrong.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_of_Stupid

No person is asking why shown teenagers are so stupid? That all teenagers aren't stupid... should remove the myth that young adult brains aren't completely developed until aged 25 years.

Ray Martin narrated a recently seen television documentary “Special ICE: the scourge of regional Australia”. One aged 13 year old teenager was described as having a learning disability. Other ages mentioned were aged 15 to 18 as an optimal age to begin using ICE.

During major 2 world wars, cigarettes were given to military personnel free of charge, said to calm the nerves, so I heard years ago during documentaries on cigarette smoking.
Prier to tax increases, many teenagers take up cigarette smoking before leaving high school. I speculate between employment tasks and/or classroom boredom and hurrying tasks. Human behaviour to suddenly stop doing something to merely have a rest period, the human brain desires something simple to do while powering down the brain. A cigarette often satisfies this requirement.
Now taxes have pushed up cigarette prices, new alternatives, “here, try ICE instead”.

I theorise, a problem lies with school education which takes aged 5 years children, many children are not ready to sit still for many hours each school day. I speculate, classrooms to many and/or most children are day time Don Dale youth detention centres, made worse by forced work tasks: same mathematics; same spelling word learning; same chalkboard copying, rotating subjects day after day.

Many children are bored, many children believing they're held back by teachers forcing the same limited studying due to other class students slow to no progress. Students slow to no progress are merely being fed different numbered same problems as though teachers were speaking English loader to people whom couldn't understand English.

If many aged 5 and 6 years students haven't learnt the basics: mathematics and reading by aged 7 years, when at aged 7 years, boredom and mental stress had guided children into: ADHD; ODD; aged 7 years children simply turned into docile zombies... children wanting to escape to sports activities. Such behaviours that stalled learning (learning disabilities), unchanged teaching tactics, children will continue to be resistant to learning for children's entire pretend school education years.

There really isn't that much to learn. Because children start academic learning at too earlier an age, stressed children, guided by emotional self-programming, are constantly influenced by emotional reaction to fear of mental stress, memory repression, rather than older more mature calmer concentration, more capable to work out how to control mental stress without having to formulate self-medicating avoidance behaviours.

Aged 5 years, even to as old as 9 years childhood brain development neuron connections should be allowed to develop as Homo-Sapiens. Rather than force emotions to self-program into Neanderthal sports lovers.

I witnessed between December 3 to 5, on ABC3 prime time-slot Horrible Histories, the puppet rat host made a joke after a dramatised performance on how Homo-Sapiens behaved compared to house-cave guests, Neanderthals. The rat referred to school PE teachers as Neanderthals, ending the sentence with “only joking”.

“Science of Stupid” and “World's Craziest Fools” should indicate how brain lazy skilfully impaired, incapable of a second thought, are so bored, teenagers attempt dangerous behaviours, often permanently injuring themselves.

Neanderthals are more likely to die of their own poor decisions. Hence why Neanderthals are said to have died out, which is most probably part of an establishment joke.

Having seen movies and documentaries on wars, wars not only kill people, wars destroy buildings and infrastructure. Establishment members often killed as well.

I theorise, the establishment uses the bible's parable Moses story, exampling setting up populations using: lies; deceit; trickery; unfulfilled promises; redirection; fake democracy performances; praying to fake god performances; false assurances; pretend school education... to maximise desired effects.

Christian god is the devil, the devil along with his angels, after having lost the war of the heavens, were cast out of heaven, down onto earth, mythical story. Readers can understand the meaning of god (the devil) wandering earth with no where to go, Moses provides an ark for god to live in, Moses story or not.

Unfortunately for me, the establishment assured me they wouldn't mess me around during one of their “Apocalypse Now” and/or is coming scares during the Y2K 1999 scare. Because I knew too much, the establishment wasn't going to mess me around, stealing much of my accumulated wealth, threatening me not to keep telling people. John Lennon's “Working Class Hero” lyrics.

The establishment is intentionally allowing bad things to happen in society: drug addiction; suicides; sugar diabetes; smoking cigarettes; alcoholism; family violence; road accidents; mental illnesses suicides. As one problem is solved another and/or other problems replace solved and/or reduced problems.

Science advancement curing the sick... or merely allowing other unsolved problems going unchallenged?

CIA got Vietnam veterans addicted to illegal drugs. CIA under Ronald Reagan accused-of smuggling drugs into U.S. under financing war in middle America excuses. Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan claimed they were fighting a war on illegal drugs. Both President George Bush's declared war on illegal drugs.

Thousands of years of ruling classes moving populations from one crisis to another crisis in between periodic building expansions, militarising local economies, fighting: organised crime; communism; global warming; slavery; religious extremism; foreign terrorism; minority religions; witchcraft. The fight to totally rid society of these troublesome issues is never really won.

The facade of democracy will investigate media stories as a display of transparency which can remain inconclusive, as any person with an education can draft words to find no significant evidence.

Create a story then discredit story, people believe what people want to believe.

Adam as I mentioned on “Adam Ruins Everything” on sports. People watch sports because they don't know what's going to happen next. Having discovered what happened, human curiosity may have been satisfied, yet no increased real knowledge would have been learnt.

Television dramas do very much the same by allowing watchers no real indication of what actors are about to say. As many dramas are usually about unrelated to skilled employment: crime; murders; outer space adventures; dysfunctional comedies; answering trivial pursuit quiz questions. The media are holding listeners attention while maintaining humans in a state of selective ignorance.

We feel intelligent, we feel somewhat trusting in authorities, until real important decisions need to be made, we feel we need to decide merely because a decision needs to be made. When events turn bad, our intelligence falls short of believing our leaders are setting citizens up in some natural selecting percentage of failing circumstances.

Supporting evidence for this natural selection theories are teenagers “Science of Stupid” and “World's Craziest Fools”.

Children's television programs: Power Rangers and I theorise many other children's programs, should be removed from children's program viewing. I theorise many children's programs are either too dumb and/or too violently hyperactive for emotional self-programming young children to watch. Watching nothing allowing child curiosity to inspire complex thought, alternatively, to be influenced by good verse evil, particularly when evil characters are more entertaining than stuffy law abiding good characters. Evil characters come up with ideas to advance themselves, evil ideas may fail merely because the stuffy law abiding good characters entered the picture, yet evil characters escape to try again in the future.

For the same reasons in real society, many people are honest while other people resort to criminal intentions, which during children's programming, children while watching understand evil intentions, may have subconscious contributing behavioural influences.

Bored children influenced by children's programming begin to find entertainment in bullying other children. Older teenagers find easy rewards, ignoring warnings by selling ICE to customers, leaving the process of illegal drug addictions to continue.
