A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Imagine living as a farmer in medieval Europe near a small village and you make MOST of your shit yourself or with help from the local blacksmith. You'd use all kinds of things and ideas that we don't use any more. You need to be creative to solve your daily problems and find ways to do stuff efficiently. Like imagine you'd need to dig out a bit of earth for an "almost square" and need to calculate the area and volume of earth you'll have to move.
I'm not sure what I'm trying to say, but I think modern education is wasted on the modern human.
The point of the modern grade school education is to give any and every student enough of a education in any given topic to specialize in any field afterwards, depending on interest and opportunities, as well as create voting citizens that can understand at least the basics of any given social debate.
Modern education isn't wasted. Some people just waste it afterwards.
And some people who want to destroy it to keep everyone as ignorant as your medieval peasants pretend that they don't understand any of that.
Also smiths would literally just do that on vibes lmao.
