I don't disagree, but the number of things "every human needs to learn" has become utterly impossible.

Cooking, sure.

Cleaning and housekeeping, yeah, okay.

Managing your money, banks, pension, boring stuff. Ugh.

Media literacy (understanding author's biases, checking sources, etc.), uhh, getting pretty hard, but not learning this can end up destroying your life.

How to use a computer, and how to use Windows and MS Office in particular, because you're going to have to do that at some point whether you want to or not. Ugh, getting a bit tedious now. And the software keeps changing so you have to re-teach yourself every now and then.

Identifying scams and phishing, and what to do when you encounter one. That's a real tough one, and keeps getting harder faster because scammers continue to invent new tricks.

Politics. Gotta know a thing or two, and who to vote for (if you live in a democracy).

Detecting deepfakes and AI propaganda. Maybe count this under media literacy, but it's a totally new thing that everyone needs to know.

How to use public transportation. Can be really difficult in some places, and always very intimidating the first time you do it.

The list goes on and on and on. Every single human is expected to be Superman now. No, I refuse. Fuck that.

I'm shit at cooking. I will avoid cooking as much as possible unless my life depends on it. And I rely on my family and the society around me to keep me fed. I repay in other ways. I can fix just about anything around the house. And almost any computer trouble. My family relies on me to do those things.

I'm not surprised that people can't cook. The world is impossible to navigate.
