How does it explain East Asia? The Han Chinese were always known to be remarkably smart people but not as creative as the Europeans or Indo-Europeans.
According to a Michael E Jones video,the Greeks were the first civilization to take philosophy seriously and that made them easily surpass the Persians even though the Persians has civilization firstly.
ASPM-2 is only a single genetic mutation. It's in East Asia too, but they have a significantly different genetic makeup compared with Western Europeans. They have notably larger skulls and that's just one variable on a long list. East Asians didn't have the benefit of Roman Marriage law, and had huge genocides at several times during their history. Lack of genetic diversity is actually a big problem among the Han. They were certainly coming along, but nowhere else moved as fast as the Europeans.
As for the Greeks, they were the bleeding edge of technology for an extended period of time, but they didn't impose the same restrictions on marriage that the Romans did and cousin marriage and closer (Uncles to nieces) was the norm in wealthy families. The wealthy class are the innovators so protecting them from consanguinity is extremely important, something that both Greeks and Egyptians failed to do.
It’s so bad that almost everyone I know from my state’s best technical school (GA Tech) is a screaming liberal that parrots Democrat education talking points
I was an Engineer (currently in Law School) and the issue is that even though the overwhelming majority of people who go into the field are drawn to logic, they are also usually super introverted and passive and even if deep down they know the left is wrong, the pressure is on so hard in most Colleges that they fold and adopt NPC talking points. I was blitzed by leftism my entire time attending school and then afterwards while working on campus at a Small Engineering Firm that worked closely with a Graduate Research group. I was not a typical Engineer and pushed back, and tried to always speak up for my peers who I knew agreed with me but were too timid. But I get it, a lot of people just get run over by the Leftist Blitz of Academia for fear of Ostracization.
It's not even really that (it plays a big part in pushing the agenda, but it isn't all of it). I'm a teacher..or was, short story ahoy (please bear with me): about 5 - 10 years ago the "experts" got into this kick of mainstreaming students...it had already been somewhat done with learning disabled and the results were not good, but now it was to mainstream ESL students into the classrooms.
So, we had/have students who are not at all fluent in English in the classrooms with the results being what you'd expect (which isn't fair to the kids; they just sit there -- I don't know how much they understand if anything).
Rather than put them in seperate classrooms and get them up to speed with the regular curriculum, the "experts" pushed for 'non-western ways of thinking/diversity of thinking"to be accepted and taught in the classroom (to be honest, this was probably what they wanted all along). They could do this easily, because they could make the case that the ESL students needed acculturation in the regular classrooms, and not doing so was discriminatory and oppressive (thanks to the earlier LL mainstreaming that was now conveniently forgotten) and (this is a big one) that we had to keep to the pedagogical idea of student centered learning and student focused "authentic" academic work. You can guess what the results will be.
So...here we all are, the end (in a nutshell).
Thank you for teaching. I still remember most of my teachers fondly. A few of them taught me to think about questions in new and different ways, and it was like suddenly being able to see in color instead of just black and white.
I agree with you on the mainstreaming. The best public schools I attended had 3 groups for each grade. They weren't assigned names - you were just in a certain teacher's class. Each group moved at a different pace, but still covered the essentials. Kids who applied themselves could move from one group to another. Kids who didn't apply themselves could get moved from one group to another. The middle of the three class groups was the largest, but there was no stigma to being in any of the groups.
Moving to other schools afterward was boring because they were inevitably almost a year behind in what they were teaching, since they had to work to the lowest common denominator.
You can't do that anymore...but the school district here breaks the classes into teams that tend to follow GPAs w/ just a little crossover. But I really wish they'd just go back to having accelerated, normal, and remedial. There's really no shame in being in a remedial class -- if you don't know the material, you don't know it, so get some help and maybe you'll get it. It gives schools the flexibility to put kids where they need to be: I've seen students who could be in accelerated math but need extra help with language arts and vice versa; I've tutored students who weren't stupid, but they just hadn't "gotten" some important concepts and needed some extra help; and then there are those who just aren't going to be in advanced classes, but that doesn't mean you leave them hanging by teaching them nothing -- well, put them all where they need to be. Everybody comes out winning (or the majority do).
But remember, math is racist white supremacist propaganda. All of you who dont fundamentally agree that 2+2=5 are bigoted harlots with no self esteem.
I like how they say this, despite the fact that algebra originated in India and was spread by the Arabians.
Would it be to deep to troll and say, that the people who built the pyramids were excellent at math?
Vibranium, dawg. Kangz and shit.
They were racist too - with their white pyramids!

They also invented the number 0.

Interesting theory. Where can I read more?
History is racist.
I know Greece had algebra but India, Persia, and Arabia also contributed to early mathematics.

The left has ruin academia
Maybe cause they just learn to repeat stuff as they're told. Nobody is really rediscovering math laws on their own, it's just copying.
Excuse me but Harlots is a slur! We prefer to be called low cost sex workers!
Isn’t it racist to assume math is racist. Isn’t it racist to assume some races can’t learn math? Liberals are so weird!!!

To be anti-racist, you must become obsessively racist and paranoid.
