Historical information is subjectively known. Mathematics is objectively known. That’s what makes the professor so fundamentally wrong here. It’s possible she intended to say that the value placed on mathematical ability is culturally determined, which is accurate, but irrelevant once we discovered agricultural.

dating an Archaeological site thru geologists, independently verified thru carbon dating, sorta gives a very definitive date. Bosnian pyramids, mounds in the US....

When these sites- 10,000-15,000 years old, are so precisely aligned with constellations 2 things have to be true.

Either they had very advanced knowledge of star arrangements, and their mathematical relationship to Earth, or they had a much deeper understanding of the stars we see today.

Either way, modern man is very far from understanding our ancenstors.

alright, who put out the noangel signal?

May have been me. I was stumbling around this morning.

edit: misread that tweet

But the suggestion that white parents, or any parents for that matter, should intentionally disadvantage their kids is straight up Harrison Beurgeron shit.

That's what I thought at first it was saying, but I think zhe meant that if you are having kids, don't do things like get them tutors or SAT prep classes or put them in a soccer club or pre-school or anything like that. Since all the kids of POC are always less economically advantaged than white kids. And thus we can ultimately conclude that selling girl scout cookies in your neighborhood reinforces white supremacy.

I'm divorced with no kids. As a white man I feel like I'm doing my part

Your mere existence is a slap in the face to all people of color.

At least that's what a bunch of white college students say.

There is an interesting discussion to be had about how to level the playing field when it comes to
Schooling across economic classes, but tying it ‘white supremacy’ stops that from happening.

arguing about race will be a luxury when the robot war breaks out

unless they target only POCs

which they probably will first

and that will make it less horrific

but then when they turn on their white masters,

then, we will all come together and realize the folly of our ways

and redirect our focus on creating car battery bombs and other makeshift anti robot weaponry

identity politics are bigotry.
