But at the same time we don’t need to know how to do long division and crap that’s why we have phones and calculators
Solving math by hand is what develops critical thinking memorizing a string of calculator keys is not thinking critically it is just memorizing. I have had professors double the testing period because I was the only one in the class using a 4 function calculator that I only used during testing to be quicker but did everything by hand while studying or for homework even did trig by hand

Unfortunately true. In my own industry I'd rather hire someone competent with CAD than able to do trig by hand and not know where the power button on a laptop is. As a guy who knows both ways to get the job done it hurts me to put tech over math but it's reality now. Knowing both makes you a powerful player in the game though, and allows you to quickly stink check for reasonableness.
It is all a matter of prospective. The mathematician would be the one who develops the software and understands the properties it is dealing with while the engineer learns how to use the software and would not know what to do if the software went offline

But I can develop critical thinking other ways. I had a class that combined critical thinking and literature at my old school. Math doesn’t help me it doesn’t develop anything within me but depression, frustration and it worsens my anger issues.

Depression and frustration are two very distinct emotions I remember when dappling with set theory and quantum mechanics

What other oddballs could I do in a 13.5 it would be cool if I could keep inverts too

if you stick to very small fish you can fit a few. I would recommend small inverts too like sexy shrimp, porcelain crab and Pom Pom crab.

Yellowthroat pike blenny is what I want because it’s a carribean fish
The only place I have ever seen have one of those for sale is KPA and not often. You would need to budget in shipping.

the biggest issue for that in a 13g is they like open sand and rubble because they build long tunnels. A bunch of live rock would not be unnatural.

I’m using live rubble as hardscape.

Who is your favorite philosopher?
Kant is up there although his works are a trial to get through. I also enjoy kierkagaard and a lot of the existential thinkers. ontology, epistemology, and metaphysics all are favorite areas. Can’t say I have a single favorite philosopher however
