The requirements for getting a license in the US are a joke. It's much more strict in Germany. One of the reasons why there are so many traffic collisions in the US is because there are so many terrible drivers on the road. Add to this that there isn't an alternative way of getting around in most of the US. This even includes sidewalks in some places. If there were interconnected and well funded mass transit systems in the US and walkable infrastructure, the driving standards could be higher.

Math is made up, but it uses logic that's based on physical phenomena. Math isn't discovered, it's invented.

Researchers found meditation was superior to non-native language training on changing a global composite score and two of its subscores reflecting attention regulation and socio-emotional capacities by Wagamaga
Every time I try to understand what meditation is supposed to be I end up more confused. There's so much contradiction on this subject.

I've come across quite a few farmers that do no plow.
That's not to say the majority of your post is wrong though, just adding a little bit of extra information.
