In a light-hearted conversation, Erica expresses her need to study, while Mark playfully challenges her perspective on education. Their exchange touches on themes of access to education throughout history, referencing medieval times when many were deprived of learning opportunities. Mark's banter about needing an algorithm to rank chess players humorously contrasts with deeper connection points about ancient practices, like the Mayans using rowboats and the historical roots of chess in ancient Chinese culture. This discussion cleverly intertwines modern education with historical context.
