Of course the stick figure was a POC
No toaster. Everything is a toaster if you wire it bad enough. Someone's gonna pass on a technicality.Smudge said:Yes... and then have each group build a plane and see which one flies. Or even a ****ing toaster... which one toasts?Phatbob said:
So I need to get this to Texas Instruments and demand a share of the profits:
Call it the TI1619 and it has different modes and buttons than your normal calculator. Before you can enter any numbers, you have to input your pronouns, then enter your race, and then any other mitigating identifying factors (this will need to be connected to the internet for constant updates, as this list is always changing). Then depending on the information given, either it gives you the answer for the problem typed in (for a white Cismale), or it just asks you what you want the answer to be, and gives it back to you (for any oppressed group).
Charge $400 each and all universities will require it for all their students as part of their DEI programs.
1 + 1 = 2 certainly looks transphobic and racist to me.

Children in classrooms aren't being segregated based upon ethnicity, skin color, or gender.
Not all students are great at math, just like most students can't run 400m in less than 55 seconds.
I am trying to visualize how math is being used to "arbitrarily" close doors.Quote:
Math As a Gatekeeper
Mathematics is not just an academic subject: It's a key mechanism in the distribution of opportunity. Solid quantitative reasoning skills are an underpinning of achievement in the classroom, in the workplace, and in other human pursuits. Yet, math can also be wielded in ways that arbitrarily close doors to educational advancement. In fact, math appears unrivaled in its use as a marker of intelligence that can limit access to future opportunity.

How are educated people so ignorant? Do they get how huge Arabic mathematical concepts are and that they are the basis of a lot of modern Western math? Heck the basic numerals we use are Arabic!
Though I guess he has a point that ME culture isn't super tolerant of the rainbow
No different than engineers I work with designing some really dumb things simply because they never have to actually work on said designs.
Isn't a lot of our math Arabic in origin? How is that white?
And I am sure that the ten or less individuals that attended the talk were "inspired".BDUB95 said:
Good gawd. This person should be kicked out of academics, forced to return his degrees, and apologize to the world for how stupid he is.
Math, the language of the universe that cannot be disputed and explains everything (including low IQ idiots like this) is Cisheteropatriarchal?
okaaaay...
okaaaay...
Math? Hell of a job, mr cisheteropatriarch! Thanks.
Well, their hospital was pushing trans surgeries on kids for money streams.stetson said:

This twerp is just trying to get his 15 minutes of fame inventing words via some random woke word-salad app.
Staff - take out the trash.
Keep exposing people like this. The fact that they're so embarrassed means that they know it's wrong and insidious.

Is this similar to supercalifragilisticexpialidocious?

"Anyone who cannot cope with mathematics is not fully human. At best, he is a tolerable subhuman who has learned to wear his shoes, bathe, and not make messes in the house." - Robert Heinlein
We could argue that Math is "anti-stupid".Phatbob said:
There is nothing in the universe more black & white, hard cold reality than math. It doesn't care what you feel, it doesn't care how hard it is to come up with or deal with, it just is what it is. If math is anti-whatever they want to complain about, then maybe what they want to complain about is, well, reality, and they are just upset that they can't just will a new one into existence.
So he's "Mathematics Education", not "Mathematics".Easy 8 said:

It makes more sense, now.
Last time I looked, math was math, it's a constant. He accomplished what he wanted….in the news.
