Few things straight away come to mind:

  1. Concepts of currency/money (we we're taught "business" - live in the UK)
  2. Game Theory.
  3. Information and Data (Parent/Child etc).

Some of my favourite teachers would spend whole lessons telling fantastic stories and meandering off the curriculum pathway.

Of course they teach you how to play the game they want to you play, not how to exit it.

game theory's a big one. It also seems to come up often in my talks with newcoiners, when wondering why bitcoin is "the chosen one"

Yeah it's sadly hidden behind a complete narrative here (and elsewhere of course) that strays into a "gambling" problem.

I studied last year Independant Chip Model mechanics in Poker (particularly MTT's) and to many, Poker and Slots/Roulette may as well be the same "fools" game. Especially to our older generation.
