What is the point you ask ? Well math equations are available online but you need to remember them and learn to apply them. If I ask you a math question, no amount of googling could give you the answer. History is not a bunch of one line facts to be crammed, it’s whole stories of the past. Let’s say you search wiki for some battle, the first para itself will have hundreds of references you won’t know anything about if you didn’t study history. Google each of these and you won’t understand anything written if you don’t have a sufficient grasp of those events and then you’d be lost. The only thing google can tell you is facts but those are kinda useless irl. Also as someone who was very active in quizzing, I think that history is very important to help improve our memorisation, the ability to sort info and process and absorb it and to passively remember stuff. Half the quiz questions I’ve answered I didn’t know, the answer ‘just came to me’. That was my brain passively recollecting stuff I’d read long ago.
I love how well this applies to goat, him representing people who ‘read’ books related to science to appear smart. You can’t really read a book about AI if you haven’t studied CS, furthermore you don’t need to. Since pig is usually the one who messes up meanings, I’m sure rat’s words were intentional, aimed at goat.
